Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring the drying rate of a liquid or liquid film in air or other gaseous media by either: a) measuring changes in the print density of the liquid; b) measuring changes in the dynamic surface tension of the liquid; c) measuring the differential pressure between an inert gas required to displace a sample of the liquid drawn into a capillary tube from a reservoir of the liquid and the pressure required for a bubble of the gas to form in the reservoir; and d) measuring the electrical conductance or resistance of the liquid.

Abstract: A packaging label is provided having a base film, an ink layer, and an adhesive layer for adhering to a container. The label includes an indication marking for providing evidence of label tampering, which is preferably visible upon removal of the packaging label from a container. The label further includes an area of weakness on the base film extending the length of the film. The packaging label is severable along the area of weakness to divide the packaging label into first and second portions so that a lid may be removed from a container body.

Abstract: A container body, comprising a single fiber structure molded into the container body having an integral bottom portion and an integral side portion; an open cavity defined by the bottom portion and the side portion; and the side portion being perpendicular to the bottom portion such that a rectangular label is mountable to the side portion without creases.

Abstract: A method of and apparatus for qualifying telephone numbers for use by one or more telephone service representatives. The method includes the following steps. Supplying a telephone number database containing telephone numbers and validation criteria to a qualifying computer. Launching calls with the qualifying computer to the telephone numbers in the telephone number database. Selecting called telephone numbers that meet the validation criteria as qualified telephone numbers. Establishing a qualified number queue for containing qualified telephone numbers. Providing access to the qualifying computer by the telephone service representatives to permit them to request qualified telephone numbers from the qualified number queue. Passing at least one qualified telephone number from the qualified number queue to the requesting telephone service representative.
