Abstract: A child resistant product package includes a first panel, a second panel, a tab strip insert, and a blister package. The first panel incorporates at least one blister aperture and at least one tab strip access pad. The second panel includes at least one product access aperture and at least one tab strip grasping pad. The tab strip insert has at least one tab strip. The first panel and the second panel are fastened together. Once fastened together, the first panel and the second panel collectively form a housing for the tab strip insert and the blister package.

Abstract: A packaging blank includes a first panel and a second panel. The first panel defines at least one blister aperture and at least one tool portion. The second panel defines at least one tab strip and at least one tool access portion. The at least one tab strip is at least partially severable from the packaging blank. The at least one tool access portion is substantially completely severable from the packaging blank. The first panel and the second panel are configured to be positioned relative to one another in a face contacting arrangement such that a first portion of a given tool portion is to be operably aligned with a corresponding tool access portion. As such, the first portion of the given tool portion thereby is capable of being accessed by a tool via the corresponding tool access portion.

Abstract: A blister pack (10) includes a blister segment (12) and a tool (T1, T2), both integrally formed with a tray (Y). The blister segment (12) has a blister bubble (14) at least partially surrounded by a blister flange (F). Substrate (16) serving as a gate (18) covers the opening of the blister bubble (14). The tool (T1, T2) is adapted for puncturing the substrate gate (16/18) to gain access to the interior of the blister bubble (14). A blister segment (12) is configured and has reinforcing features (40, 34) so that it may serve as the tool (T1, T2).

Abstract: A system for opening encased articles has a cutting apparatus that includes a channel formed from spaced-apart parallel walls. A cutting member having a cutting edge extends from one wall into the channel. A protrusion disposed in the channel at least partially overlaps and at least partially obstructs the cutting member. The channel is adapted for receiving the flanged edge of the article and the protrusion is displaceable to expose the cutting edge of the cutting member. A system further has the cutting apparatus juxtaposed with a container for storing at least one encased article.

Abstract: Packages are disclosed for storing multiple disc-like recording media in trays having optional pouch-type holders, and with means for retaining the media within the trays.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for regulating CD154 gene expression are provided that rely on the interaction of polypyrimidine tract proteins with the 3?-untranslated region of CD154.
