Abstract: A candle container system comprising one or more openings that convey water out of the container and a raised surface configured to extinguish a candle prior to the hot wax being able to flow out the one or more openings and a method of manufacturing a candle container. Additionally, a support system for adding a chimney to a container and candle combination in a predetermined relationship with respect to container and candle combination.

Abstract: A system and method for determining the level of bilirubin in bodily fluids based on the use protein that binds with bilirubin and measuring the level of bioluminescence produced and the use of measurements over time as a means of predicting potential infection and in particular possible Ebola infection.

Abstract: An apparatus for retarding oxidation of paint that only partly fills a container, comprising a body, a flexible liner, a movable bottom plate, an attachable lid with a filler port through which the paint can be poured, and a removable filler cap. The movable bottom plate is adjusted up or down, thereby expanding or compressing the flexible liner and changing the volume of the container. After paint is added to the container, excess air is forced out of the container via the filler port by moving the bottom plate up towards the top of the container. When all extra air is expelled, the movable bottom plate is locked into position and the filler port is closed with the removable filler cap. Using this device allows paint to be stored in an air-free environment, reducing oxidation and resulting in greatly improving the shelf life of the stored paint.
