Abstract: A carrier for carrying at least one beverage container includes a sheet of at least one layer of a polymeric material having an arrangement of at least one aperture for receiving a beverage container, and having a plurality of handle members for grasping by at least one finger or portion of a users hand for carrying the beverage container. A tray configuration is also provided for use with the carrier or in a separate manner, and a dispensing system for use with the carrier is set forth.

Abstract: There is described a disposable or single-use container lid which has an annular rim for frictionally engaging a rolled rim of a container, such as a paper cup, a central region and an annular shock-absorbing structure disposed between the annular rim and the central region. The annular shock-absorbing structure comprises an outside channel having a non-flat configuration and being formed around the central region, with the outside channel providing a predetermined amount of extension and contraction at the location of the channel to absorb forces or stress applied to the lid and/or container and facilitate retention of the lid on the container when forces from dropping, tipping, falling or squeezing are applied thereto. In a further example, there is also described a disposable anti-spill drinking lid for a disposable paper container.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for preparing cabergoline form I by combining cabergoline and a solvent comprising ethylbenzene to form a solvate and obtaining form I from the solvate. Also disclosed in a method for preparing cabergoline form I by combining cabergoline and a first solvent to form a solution and additionally including a second solvent to the solution, followed by crystallization to form cabergoline form I. Further disclosed is a solvate form of cabergoline comprising cabergoline and ethylbenzene and, optionally, n-heptane.
