Abstract: A shoe-cover dispenser is described, including, for example, features that facilitate the simultaneous loading of multiple shoe covers and/or features that prevent incomplete release of shoe covers. The shoe-cover dispenser can include a shell and a removable shoe-cover cartridge sized to fit within the shell. The removable shoe-cover cartridge can be configured to releasably hold a plurality of shoe covers, such as by releasably holding three or more clips attached to an elastic element of each shoe cover. These clips can be preloaded into the removable shoe-cover cartridge prior to delivery to an end-user. Release of a shoe cover can be initiated by downward movement of a foot pad. To prevent tilting of the foot pad, the shell can include a guide plate substantially abutting a substantially vertical side of the foot pad and/or an alignment rod positioned within a substantially vertical hole in the foot pad.

Abstract: The field of the invention generally relates to a shellac-based enteric coating with a reliable and consistent dissolution profile in both acid and neutral environments based on the selective choice of coating excipients used with the shellac. The enteric coating formulation includes a shellac, a maltrin, sodium alginate, one or more plasticizers, and optionally talc. The shellac is present in a range of approximately 40% to 60% w/w % and has an acid number of between 71 and 73. The maltrin is present in a range of approximately 15% to 30% w/w %. The sodium alginate is present in a range of approximately 15% to 30% w/w %. The one or more plasticizers are present in a range of approximately 2% to 20% w/w %. The optional talc is present in a range of 0% to 10%.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to film coating compositions and processes for film coating pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food products. One film coating composition includes a shellac in an aqueous solution; a hydrolyzed starch product; an optional plasticizer; and a coating resin. The coating resin may be one or more of polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone-vinyl acetate). The shellac, hydrolyzed starch product, plasticizer and coating resin comprise the solids in the composition.

Abstract: A system and method for processing information about an incident is provided. The system comprises two or more communication devices (104, 112-126) in communication with each other and a central authority (128) capable of receiving data from the communication devices. Each communication device (104, 112-126) includes a media sensor (222) to collect data relating to an incident event (102). One communication device (104), in response to a user activation input, transmits a request signal to one or more other communication devices (112-126). Any communication device (112-126) that receives the request signal may collect data relating to the incident event (102) in response to the request signal. The central authority (128), after receiving the data collected by the wireless communication devices (104, 112-126), performs an action in response to receiving the data.

Abstract: A switch pad used to operate a handheld spotlight has operating buttons which control different functions of the spotlight, including a 50% power switch, a map light switch, and a battery charge status switch. Each of the buttons may be reached by the thumb of the user while holding the spotlight. The charge status may be indicated by a series of LEDs on the switch pad. Further, the switch pad may include a DC power socket, which may be used to recharge a battery within a spotlight or may also b0e used as a power source.
