  • Publication number: 20140151375
    Abstract: A safety closure for a beverage container that prevents an infant from ingesting the closure is provided. The closure includes a cylindrical cap body to be released securely into a beverage container. The cap body includes lateral projections extending from the cylindrical cap are sufficient to prevent an infant from ingesting the cap. The projections are provided to also facilitate rotation of the cap and to be releasably secure the cap of the container.

  • Publication number: 20120215580
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for reassigning worker profiles to units of work. For example, a scheduling system can reassign worker profiles to units of work and ensure that (a) workers/users are appropriately qualified to complete or perform units of work, (b) scheduling conflicts on a worker's/user's schedule are avoided, and (c) customizable rules and guidelines are followed.

  • Publication number: 20100294773
    Abstract: A safety closure for a beverage container that prevents an infant from ingesting the closure. The closure includes a cylindrical cap body to be releasably securable to a beverage container. The cap body includes lateral projections extending from the cylindrical cap that are sufficiently long so as to prevent an infant from ingesting the cap. The projections are provided to also facilitate rotation of the cap releasably secure the body to a container.

  • Publication number: 20090214760
    Abstract: The invention concerns an optical monitoring system for the measurement of layer thicknesses of thin coatings applied in a vacuum, particularly on moving substrates, during the coating process, in which the light intensity of the light of a light source injected into a reference light guide and released by a first piezoelectric or electrostrictive or magnetostrictive light chopper is registered by a light detector unit in a reference phase, the light of the light source in a measuring phase is injected into a first measuring light guide and the light released by a second piezoelectric or electrostrictive or magnetostrictive light chopper is directed to the substrate, and the light intensity of the light reflected or transmitted from the substrate is registered by the light detector unit through a second measuring light guide, and a remaining light intensity is registered by the light detector unit in at least one dark phase, wherein the reference phase, the measuring phase, and the dark phase are shifted in t
