Abstract: Disclosed is a pump dispenser having a safety lock cap. Specifically, the device includes a container and an attached safety lock cap. A pump mechanism is attached with and between the container and safety lock cap. The safety lock cap has a locked, first configuration and an unlocked, second configuration. When in the first configuration the safety lock cap is locked and the pump mechanism is prohibited from dispensing. Alternatively, when in the second configuration, the safety lock cap is unlocked and the pump mechanism is operable for dispensing the fluid.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a medication cartridge and associated dispensing device. The dispensing device includes a housing containing a cartridge carrier, designed with a specific connector to align with a medication cartridge. The medication cartridge includes a shell with a medicine vial slidably positioned therein. When the dispensing device is activated, the cartridge carrier rotates to raise the vial and cause the vial to dispense medicine from the vial and out of a dispensing aperture for use by a patient.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a patient system and method for interfacing with and controlling an oral medication dispensing device. The system registers the dispensing device to a particular patient and records biometric data regarding the patient. Upon verifying a dose schedule and biometric authentication of the patient, the system authorizes use of the medication dispensing device and causes an activator mechanism to activate. In doing so, an activator mechanism within the dispensing device moves a medication cartridge between a stored position and a dispensing position, where it can be compressed to safely and efficiently dispense medication to the patient.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a physician system and method for interfacing with and controlling an oral medication dispensing device. The system registers a patient under the care of a doctor and records a dose schedule for the patient. The dose schedule specifies a particular medication and associated volume and timing interval for administration to the patient via a medication dispensing device. A medication cartridge is with the dose schedule. An invitation link is sent to the patient for the patient to link the physician system with their patient system and the medication dispensing device. The dose schedule can be pushed to the patient system to populate the patient system with the specifics of the dose schedule.

Abstract: A variable temperature control assembly for a water dispenser, using a variable water temperature selector, that delivers water to the consumer at the temperature requested on the variable temperature selector by calculating the required ratio of hot water, cold water and ambient water needed to deliver water at the temperature requested.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a caregiver system and method for interfacing with and controlling an oral medication dispensing device. The system registers the caregiver and provides the caregiver a list of patients under the caregiver's care, as well as associated medication dose schedules for each of the one or more patients. The caregiver is provided reminders regarding doses and allowed to modify the dose schedule to generate a modified dose schedule. The modified does schedule is pushed to a patient system associated with a medication dispensing device.
