Abstract: The present disclosure provides packages that are configured for containing a prophylactic device and a quantity of lubricant material. The package can include a first portion defining a first chamber containing a prophylactic device; and a second portion defining a second chamber containing a quantity of lubricant composition; wherein the first chamber of the first portion and the second chamber of the second portion are arranged to separably engage one another about external surfaces of the first portion and the second portion so as to form a unitary package. The present disclosure further provides methods for providing a lubricated prophylactic device.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides packages that are configured for containing a prophylactic device and a plurality of lubricant compositions. The package can include a primary storage compartment in which the prophylactic device can be contained and a plurality of secondary storage compartments arranged relative to the primary storage compartment, the plurality of secondary storage compartments containing lubricant composition(s). The present disclosure further provides methods for providing a lubricated prophylactic device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to diagnostic test devices that provide improved communication to a user of one or both of proper functioning of the test device and an analog test result that is provided by the test device. The diagnostic test devices particularly can include one or more sensors effective to indicate application of a sufficient volume of a test fluid and/or can include one or more light sources positioned to illuminate an analog test result for improved visibility and understanding of the analog test result.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides applicators adapted to or configured to deliver a product therefrom. The applicators can be particularly designed for delivery to certain body parts of the human body, such as to the vaginal area. The applicator can comprise a housing formed of a substantially continuous wall extending along a longitudinal housing axis between a base end and an application end, the substantially continuous wall defining: a base segment extending from the base end toward the applicator end; a delivery segment extending from the applicator end toward the base end; and a compression segment interconnecting the base segment and the delivery segment. The housing can define a substantially hollow interior configured for retaining a product for delivery through the delivery segment.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides packaged articles that can provide improved ease of access to the articles. More particularly, such packaged articles can comprise a plurality of multilayer films with a product contained therebetween. The multilayer films can be sealingly engaged one to another substantially only at a perimeter band that defines a closed, interior compartment in which the product is contained and which defines a tab section that is exterior to the perimeter band. At least a section of the perimeter band proximate to the tab section can be configured as a peel-apart seal such that the interior compartment containing the product is accessible by at least partially peeling apart the multilayer films. The disclosure further provides methods of packaging a product, such as a condom, and methods for improving ease of access to a packaged article, such as a condom.

Abstract: A container system (20) comprises: a container body (22) having a sidewall (26), a shoulder (32), and an externally threaded neck (34) extending from the shoulder; and a closure (24) having an internally threaded inner sidewall (50) extending from a rim, an outer sidewall (60), and an installed condition with the inner sidewall in threaded engagement with the neck. The outer sidewall has a radially inwardly protruding barb (80) having a ramping surface (82) and a stop surface (84). The container body shoulder has a lug (90) having a ramping surface (92) and a stop surface (94). A first projection (120) protrudes radially outward from the outer sidewall to a first circumferential side of the barb and a second projection (122) protrudes radially outward from the outer sidewall to a second circumferential side of the barb.

Abstract: A wiper for a maintenance station of an imaging device includes a foundational body and a flexible blade. The body rigidly attaches to the maintenance station. The blade attaches to the body. The blade scrapes fluid and debris from a printhead during use. The blade comprises a flexible material having terminal sections intervened by a central section. Each terminal section connects to the body with a thicker expanse of flexible material, whereas the central section connects to the body with a thinner expanse. The connection provides the terminal sections with a higher wiping force and a shorter effective beam length for wiping an encapsulant of the printhead and gives while the central section a lower wiping force and a longer effective beam length for wiping a nozzle plate of the printhead. The embodiments note curved surfaces with variable radiuses where the expanses of flexible material connect to the body.
