  • Publication number: 20210078760
    Abstract: A blank for forming a display ready case includes a front panel, a top panel, a rear panel, a bottom panel, and a bottom end panel arranged in a longitudinal direction and coupled together by a plurality of fold lines extending in a transverse direction. A first front side panel and a second front side panel extend from opposing sides of the front panel in the transverse direction. A front end panel extends from the front panel in the longitudinal direction, and a first front end side panel and a second front end side panel extend from opposing sides of the front end panel in the transverse direction. An access region separates the front panel from the front end panel. A line of weakness separates the first front side panel and the second front side panel from the first front end side panel and the second front end side panel.

  • Publication number: 20200206441
    Abstract: A nasal delivery device can include a nasal prong and an activation member. The nasal prong can have an opening at a top and bottom portion of the prong to allow for the passage of an aerosolized treatment agent through the nasal prong. The activation member can be positioned on the nasal delivery device at a location that is spaced apart from the subject's oral cavity when the nasal prong is received into the nostril of the subject. The activation member can detect a desired exhalation state of the subject and upon detection of the desired exhalation state, the activation member activates the delivery of the aerosolized treatment agent.

  • Patent number: 8510268
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a geographic information system having editable maps. In an embodiment, a system provides editable maps. The system includes an edit layer dataset that stores geocoded data. At least a portion of the edit layer dataset is edited by a user. The system also includes a base layer dataset that includes trusted geocoded data and a moderation module that receives a change in the edit layer dataset. The moderation module determines whether the change is reliable and promotes the change in the edit layer dataset to the base layer dataset if the change is reliable.
