  • Patent number: 12548428
    Abstract: A monitor for a security container includes a first monitor portion for attachment to one of a closure or a housing of the security container. The first monitor portion includes a sensor, an audible alarm, and a “spin-confirm” push-button for a user to confirm that a lock dial of the security container was spun to lock the security container closure shut. The audible alarm activates when the sensor indicates that the security container closure is open after a defined period of time. The audible alarm deactivates only when the sensor indicates that the security container closure is closed, and the “spin-confirm” push-button is activated. A “snooze” push-button can be provided for the user to temporarily pause or alter the audible alarm to work with the security container unsecured.

  • Publication number: 20240041235
    Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing a flowable food product from a flexible reservoir is provided. The dispenser includes a frame; a body coupled to the frame and defining a cavity for receiving the flexible reservoir and including a bottom wall defining an opening; and a fitment acceptor at least partly received in the opening. The fitment acceptor includes forward and rearward sidewalls. A radius of curvature of the forward sidewall differs from a radius of curvature of the rearward sidewall. The radius of curvature of the forward sidewall and the radius of the curvature of the rearward sidewall correspond with radiuses of curvature of respective front and rear ends of a fitment of the flexible reservoir such that the fitment of the flexible reservoir is only insertable in the fitment acceptor in one relative orientation between the fitment and the fitment acceptor.

  • Patent number: 11819147
    Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing a flowable food product from a flexible reservoir supported by the dispenser is provided. The dispenser includes a frame and a body coupled to the frame. The body defines a cavity for receiving the flexible reservoir. The body includes: a bottom wall defining an opening; a sloped wall extending upward from the bottom wall and the opening, the sloped wall promoting a flow of flowable food product from the flexible reservoir towards the opening; and a pair of side walls extending upward from the bottom wall and the sloped wall. The dispenser further includes a fitment acceptor at least partly received in the opening. Additionally, a shape of the fitment acceptor corresponds with a shape of the opening such that the fitment acceptor is only correctly received in the opening one way.

  • Patent number: 10470597
    Abstract: A system for dispensing a flowable food product from a reservoir is provided. A wall of the reservoir defines an aperture therethrough allowing the flowable food product to exit the reservoir. The system includes a valve having a base member having a first passageway extending therethrough and a moving member having a second passageway extending therethrough, the moving member configured to slide relative to the base member between a closed position in which the first passageway and the second passageway do not overlap and an open position in which the first passageway and the second passageway overlap. When the moving member is in the open position, an axis extending through the first passageway and the second passageway extends through the aperture in the reservoir.

  • Patent number: 10325050
    Abstract: A method for designing a circuit. The method may include obtaining a register-transfer level (RTL) file for an integrated circuit. The method may further include generating, using an RTL-synthesis compiler and from the RTL file, a gate-level netlist including a plurality of cells assigned to a plurality of cell groups. The method may further include obtaining, from a user, a selection of a user-defined criterion and a selected cell group from the plurality of cell groups. The method may further include partitioning the selected cell group into a first partitioned cell group including a first subset of the plurality of cells and a second partitioned cell group comprising a second subset of the plurality of cells. The method may further include generating a floorplan comprising the first partitioned cell group and the second partitioned cell group.

  • Patent number: 10194763
    Abstract: A system for dispensing a flowable food product from a reservoir is provided. The system includes a fitment coupled to the reservoir and a piercing tool having a handle, a neck, and a piercing section, wherein the neck interconnects the handle with the piercing section. The piercing section is configured to create an opening in the reservoir through the fitment to enable dispensing of the flowable product.

  • Patent number: 9886539
    Abstract: A method for designing a circuit. The method may include obtaining a register-transfer level (RTL) file for an integrated circuit. The method may further include generating, using an RTL-Synthesis compiler and from the RTL file, a gate-level netlist including a plurality of cells for the integrated circuit. The method may further include determining, using a cross-probe criterion, an amount of cross-correlation between a first cell and a second cell in the gate-level netlist. The method may further include generating, in response to the amount of cross-correlation exceeding a correlation threshold, a cell group including the first cell and the second cell. The method may further include determining a boundary condition for the cell group. The method may further include generating a floorplan. The first cell and the second cell may be placed in the floorplan according to the boundary condition.
