Abstract: A reusable container having a body with an inlet, and an outlet provided with an elongate dispensing spout mounted for pivotal movement between a first position, where the spout overlies a portion of the body, and a second position, where the spout extends away from the body. A valve adjacent the first end of the spout prevents passage of liquid from the body into the spout when the spout is in the first position and allows passage of liquid from the body into the spout when the spout is in the second position. The valve changes between first and second conditions in response to pivotal movement of the spout. The spout includes a first locating portion which engages a second locating portion on the body to retain the spout in the first position. A second valve adjacent the spout is biased to a closed state by a resilient element.

Abstract: System and methods for task management of rule based tasks. The task management system of the invention includes various modules that work together to accomplish task monitoring, scheduling, prioritization, compliance and reporting. A task management module facilitates the development of task compliance by scheduling and prioritizing tasks based on the needs of the enterprise. The tasks are provided in task modules that set out specific steps for completing the tasks. A common database is operatively connected to the task management module, task module and other modules to maintain the rules and policies, the tasks to be completed and the responses to those tasks.

Abstract: A reusable container is disclosed for storing, dispensing and carrying liquids. The container includes body provided with an inlet and an outlet. The outlet is provided with an elongate dispensing spout which is mounted for pivotal movement between a first position, in which the spout overlies a portion of the container body, and a second position, in which the spout extends away from the container body. A valve adjacent the first end of the spout that prevents passage of the liquid from the container body into the spout when the spout is in the first position and that allows the passage of the liquid from the container body into the spout when the spout is in the second position. The valve changes between the first and second conditions in response to pivotal movement of the spout. The spout is provided with a first locating portion which engages with a second locating portion on the container body so as to retain the spout in the first position.
