A sheath may be extended over the anchor catheter and anchor and may be configured to restrain an arm of the anchor.

Abstract: Methods and processes for recycling base oils from spent invert emulsion drilling fluids may include frictionally heating a spent drilling fluid that comprises an invert emulsion and solids, wherein the solids are at about 50% or less by volume of the spent drilling fluid; and simultaneously evaporating oil and water from the invert emulsion at a temperature lower than an atmospheric boiling point for the oil.

Abstract: There is a dispensing container. The dispensing container has a head, a body, and a closure. The head has a neck and a shoulder. The neck also has a bore extending longitudinally therethrough. The neck defines one or more external threads. The head has an indentation extending therein and circumferentially therearound proximal to the junction of the neck and the shoulder. The indentation is bounded by a tapered surface tapering outward with respect to the neck towards a top surface of the shoulder. The body is connected to the shoulder. The body has a chamber therein adapted to retain a product. The bore is in communication with the chamber. The closure defines one or more internal threads therein. The one or more internal threads are intermated with the one or more external threads. The closure has a skirt having a leading edge. The indentation in the head receives the leading edge. The leading edge contacts the tapered surface. The closure is openable and reclosable with respect to the head.

Abstract: There is a dual-dispensing tube container. The container has an inner tube, an outer tube and a reclosable sealing member. The inner tube has an inner sleeve and an inner head. The inner sleeve defines an inner chamber therein adapted to retain a first component composition. The inner head defines an inner neck. The inner neck is in communication with the inner chamber. The outer tube has an outer sleeve and an outer head. The outer sleeve defines an outer chamber therein adapted to retain a second component composition. The outer head defines an outer neck. The outer neck is in communication with the outer chamber. The inner tube is situated and locked within the outer tube. The inner neck is situated at least partially within the outer neck. The tube container is adapted to simultaneously dispense the first and second component compositions upon squeezing of the tube container.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing tube package, comprising a dispensing container (20) best seen in FIG. 5, having a threaded neck (24) and a shoulder with lugs (32), and, a closure (12) best seen in FIG. 3, with a threaded inner skirt (42), and an outer skirt (40), with a slot (15) to receive the shoulder lug to prevent rotation of the closure.

Abstract: A package includes a container having a neck finish, and a closure having a plastic shell with a skirt externally secured to the container neck finish. A seal disk includes a metal layer on a plastic substrate. The periphery of the plastic substrate is sealingly secured to the neck finish of the container. The metal layer includes a circumferentially continuous outer periphery overlying the periphery of the plastic substrate and an inner portion structured as an rf antenna. An RFID tag is electrically connected at least to the inner portion of the metal layer. A liner disk may be disposed between the closure and the seal disk separate from the seal disk. The closure skirt may have an internal bead to engage the periphery of the liner disk and lift the liner disk off of the neck finish upon removal of the closure from the container neck finish.

Abstract: A package includes a container having a neck finish, and a closure having a plastic shell with a skirt externally secured to the container neck finish. A seal disk includes a metal layer on a plastic substrate. The periphery of the plastic substrate is sealingly secured to the neck finish of the container. The metal layer of the seal disk includes a circumferentially continuous outer periphery overlying the outer periphery of the plastic layer and an interrupted inner portion within said outer periphery. An RFID assembly includes and an RFID tag electrically connected to an antenna. The RFID assembly is captured between the seal disk and the plastic shell, and the interruptions in the inner portion of the metal layer of the seal disk reduce or eliminate interference in communication between the RFID assembly and external interrogation circuitry. A liner disk may be disposed between the seal disk and the RFID assembly.

Abstract: A method of making a plastic container having an RFID tag in a wall of the container includes providing a mold having a mold core and mounting an insert on the core. The insert includes an RFID tag surrounded by a plastic housing, which preferably is retained on the core for example by heat of the core partially melting the housing. A plastic preform is formed in the mold around the core and the insert, preferably by injection molding, such that the insert is embedded in a wall of the preform. The preform is then blow molded into a plastic container having the insert embedded in a wall of the container. The insert preferably is mounted on an end of the core such that the insert is in the base wall of the container following blow molding. The RFID tag preferably is externally covered by plastic material in the preform as molded, and in the container as blow molded, so that the RFID tag is not externally exposed in the preform or the container.

Abstract: There is a tube container that is resistant to water infiltration into the cavity between the head and the cap. The tube container has a body wall and a head. The body wall defines a chamber therein. The head has a shoulder, which has an orifice therethrough in communication with the chamber. The shoulder has a ridge extending therefrom adjacent its periphery. The ridge substantially blocks the infiltration of water when the cap is secured to the head.

Abstract: There is a one-piece closure for a dispensing container. The closure has a base and a lid. The base is adapted to be attached to the dispensing container. The base has two or more orifices therein. The two or more orifices of the base each define a different shape. The base has one or more raised portions thereon. The lid is connected to the base via a detachable hinge. The lid has an orifice therein. The lid is rotatably attachable to the base when detached from the base. The orifice of the lid is coextensive and alignable with each of the two or more orifices of the base and the one or more raised portions of the base. The lid is in lockable position with the base when the orifice of the lid is in alignment with one of the raised portions of the base. The closure is in the form of a unitary, integral piece. There is another embodiment for a one-piece closure for a dispensing container.

Abstract: A dual dispense container is comprised of an inner container and an outer container, the outer container neck base having a groove, a latch and an undersurface, and the inner container neck having a bead engaged in the groove, and ribs below the bead which abut the undersurface and cause the latch of the outer container to lock the bead in the groove and thereby lock the inner container within the outer container. A method of locking an inner container within an outer container of a dual dispense container comprises abutting ribs of the inner container against the undersurface of a latch at the base of the neck of the outer container, to latch and lock a bead of the inner container neck in a groove in the base of the outer container neck.
