Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and methods of repeatedly dispensing controlled doses of liquid. In one embodiment of the present invention, the apparatus includes a resiliently squeezable container, a cap operably connected to the container, a dosing chamber operably connected to the cap, at least one timer aperture located proximal to the discharge opening, a plunger, a valve retaining means located below the base, and a valve provided in the valve retaining means. The ratio of the total surface of the inlet openings and the timer apertures is from about 2 to about 17 and the viscosity of the liquid is from about 1 to about 600 mPa·s (measured at 10 s?1 at 20° C.).

Abstract: The invention relates to a volatile composition dispenser. The volatile composition dispenser comprises a sealed reservoir containing a volatile composition, a membrane surrounding at least part of the sealed reservoir, and a rupture mechanism formed of a single piece of plastic located between the membrane and the sealed reservoir. The rupture mechanism comprises a support, and a movable portion attached to the support at a proximal end of the movable portion by at least one connection member. The connection member has a depth less than the depth of the movable portion and/or a width less than the width of the movable portion. One or more rupture elements are located at a distal end of the movable portion, wherein the distal end of the movable portion is movable relative to the support upon activation. Upon activation of the rupture mechanism, the one or more rupture elements are moved into contact with the reservoir such that they puncture the reservoir to release the volatile composition.

Abstract: According to one general aspect, a method may include generating a transfer order within a planning system. In some embodiments, the transfer order may include instruction for the transfer of at least one physical object from at least a first location to a second location and an expected transfer time. In various embodiments, the method may include automatically communicating at least part of the information included in the transfer order to an execution system. In some embodiments, the method may include monitoring, via the execution system, the movement of the physical objects via tags, wherein each tag is associated with one of the physical objects. In one embodiment, the method may include automatically communicating movement information regarding the movement of the physical object(s) to the planning system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for making a laminate comprising paperboard and plastic film, and a non-aqueous adhesive layer between the paperboard and the plastic film, the process comprising the steps of: (a) surface oxidation treatment of at least one side of the plastic film; and (b) extrusion laminating the plastic film to the paperboard; wherein the non-aqueous adhesive layer is applied by extrusion between the plastic film and the paperboard to form the laminate, and wherein the process further comprises the step of printing inks onto the surface oxidation treated surface of the plastic film either before or after the extrusion lamination step; and to a process for making a carton, whereby the carton is erected from a blank which is formed from the laminate.
