The method may include the steps of printing indicia on the container, the indicia controlling access to dispense from the product dispenser, reading the indicia about the product dispenser, determining if the container is authorized to use the product dispenser, and allowing a user to dispense a selected product type into the container.

Abstract: An volume of a patient can be mapped with a system operable to identify a plurality of locations and save a plurality of locations of a mapping instrument. The mapping instrument can include one or more electrodes that can sense a voltage that can be correlated to a three dimensional location of the electrode at the time of the sensing or measurement. Therefore, a map of a volume can be determined based upon the sensing of the plurality of points without the use of other imaging devices. An implantable medical device can then be navigated relative to the mapping data.

Abstract: The cobalt(II) complex of new D2-symmetric chiral porphyrin 3,5-DiMes-ChenPhyrin, [Co(P2)], has been shown to be a highly effective chiral metalloradical catalyst for enantioselective cyclopropenation of alkynes with acceptor/acceptor-substituted diazo reagents such as ?-cyanodiazoacetamides and ?-cyanodiazoacetates. The [Co(P2)]-mediated metalloradical cyclopropenation is suitable to a wide range of terminal aromatic and related conjugated alkynes with varied steric and electronic properties, providing the corresponding tri-substituted cyclopropenes in high yields with excellent enantiocontrol of the all-carbon quaternary stereogenic centers. In addition to mild reaction conditions, the Co(II)-based metalloradical catalysis for cyclopropenation features a high degree of functional group tolerance.

Abstract: Selective intramolecular C—H amination via metalloradical activation of azides: synthesis of 1,3-diamines under neutral and nonoxidative conditions. One aspect of the present invention is the synthesis of 1,3-diamines by intramolecular C—H amination of sulfamoyl azides. More specifically, sulfamoyl azides may be selectively aminated via metalloradical activation of azides, preferably with Co(II) porphyrins. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the Co(II) porphyrin is a D2h-symmetric porphyrin.

Abstract: Cobalt(II) complex of P1 [Co(P1)], a new porphyrin that was designed on the basis of potential hydrogen bonding interactions in the metal-nitrene intermediate, is a highly active catalyst for olefin aziridination with azides. The [Co(P1)]-based system can be effectively employed for different combinations of aromatic olefins and arysulfonyl azides, synthesizing various sulfonylated aziridines in excellent yields. Besides its mild catalytic conditions, the Co-catalyzed aziridination process enjoys several attributes associated with the relatively low cost of cobalt and widely accessible arylsulfonyl azides. Furthermore, it generates stable dinitrogen as the only by-product.
