Abstract: A propylene-ethylene copolymer includes propylene as a primary monomer, an ethylene content (ET) of 3.0% to 5% by weight, a melt flow rate of from 20 to 45 g/10 min, a xylene soluble fraction (XS) of from 2.0% to 7.0% by weight, and an XS/ET ratio of less than or equal to 1.51.

Abstract: Pre-connected analyte sensors are provided. A pre-connected analyte sensor includes a sensor carrier attached to an analyte sensor. The sensor carrier includes a substrate configured for mechanical coupling of the sensor to testing, calibration, or wearable equipment. The sensor carrier also includes conductive contacts for electrically coupling sensor electrodes to the testing, calibration, or wearable equipment.

Abstract: A dosing cup for delivery of medicinal fluid includes a base wall, a sidewall, a first gripping portion, and a second gripping portion. The sidewall extends from the base wall to an upper rim, thereby defining a medicinal fluid-receiving volume. The first gripping portion is formed at a first position of the sidewall. The second gripping portion is formed at a second position of the sidewall opposite the first position across the medicinal fluid-receiving volume. Each of the first gripping portion and the second gripping portion include one or more anti-nesting projections that extend from an outer surface of the sidewall a distance beyond an inner diameter of the upper rim.

Abstract: A dispensing package for a cosmetic/antiperspirant/deodorant or other stick product. The dispensing package can have a tear-away seal integrally molded with the applicator end of the package barrel. The tear-away seal, or a frangible bead forming part of the tear-away structure, can contain a tab for the user to grip when removing the tear-away seal to open the product. The dispensing package can be actuated by rotating a thumb-wheel held in place by two slots in opposing sides of the package barrel. The elevator component that ejects product from the dispensing package can be molded with an unthreaded, self-tapping hole that is tapped by insertion of the actuator spindle during assembly of the dispensing package.

Abstract: A highly maneuverable scooter type coaster vehicle embodies a foot board having fore and aft caster wheels on its bottom side adapted to swivel through a full 360.degree.. A forward balancing and maneuvering handle extends upwardly from the foot board and has a hand grip substantially directly above the forward caster wheel. The vehicle can be maneuvered primarily by shifting the weight of the rider and applying pressure with the feet in a variety of modes.
