Abstract: A container includes a first cover, a second cover, a rotating shaft, an acting element, and the multiple bending elastic piece. The rotating shaft is engaged between the first cover and the second cover, such that the first cover and the second cover are rotatable relative to each other. The acting element is connected to the rotating shaft. The multiple bending elastic piece includes a fixing portion and an interfering portion. The fixing portion is fixed to the first cover. The interfering portion is located between the fixing portion and the rotating shaft. While the rotating shaft is rotated relative to the first cover, the acting element changes a bending degree of the multiple bending elastic piece with the rotation of the rotating shaft, thereby enabling the interfering portion to selectively contact opposite sides of the acting portion.

Abstract: A package for electronic vaporizing devices and components thereof may include a base and a cover coupled to the base for opening and closing the package. The package may include one or more guiding elements providing for a plurality of slots of different lengths, e.g., for receiving various components of the electronic vaporizing device. The package may include a slot or compartment for housing a power adapter and/or replacement components of the electronic vaporizing device.

Abstract: We provide a process for producing high quality gasoline blending components, comprising: a) operating an alkylation reactor in an alkylate mode wherein a gasoline blending component is made having a RON of 90 or higher; and b) operating the alkylation reactor in a distillate mode wherein a second gasoline blending component and a distillate product is made, and wherein the second gasoline blending component has a RON of 85 or higher. Also, we provide an alkylation process unit, comprising: a control system connected to an alkylation reactor, that enables the alkylation reactor to operate in both an alkylate mode that produces a gasoline blending component having a RON of 90 or higher and in a distillate mode that produces a second gasoline blending component having a RON of 85 or higher.

Abstract: A dilution kit for and a method of diluting concentrated solutions used to treat allergic symptoms are disclosed. The dilution kit may comprise a case comprising: a base; and a cover hingedly coupled to the base. A foam pad may be removably coupled within the base, the foam pad defining a plurality of vial apertures. A plurality of vials may be removably positionable within the plurality of vial apertures. The method may comprise: removably positioning at least one of a plurality of vials in an upwardly facing position within at least one of a plurality of apertures defined in a layer of foam padding in a base of a case of a dilution kit; and placing a predetermined amount of one of a diluent, a concentrated solution, and a combination thereof into at least one empty vial of the plurality of vials.

Abstract: A sterilizer having a cassette for holding metal instruments or medical devices. The cassette includes a metallic container that defines a sterilization chamber. The container has at least one outer surface. A plurality of spaced-apart, elongated rails extend along the at least one outer surface of the container. Each of the rails includes a free, longitudinal edge wherein the edges of the rails lie in a first plane. An insulating shell encases the metallic container and the plurality of rails. An outer surface of the insulating shell lies in the first plane. A receiving unit includes a housing having an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface engages the edges of the rails and the outer surface of the insulating shell when the cassette is disposed within the inner housing. A plurality of spaced-apart elongated ribs extends along the outer surface of the housing.

Abstract: My match container and striker for a match handle or holder enables self-sufficient functionality. It does so by incorporating match containment and striking within the application device itself. No secondary component such as a disconnected box of matches is necessary. Within one device a match can be lit and applied with convenience, efficacy, and safety.

Abstract: A boat for cleaning semiconductor packages, including cleaning ball grid array packages in centrifugal cleaners. The boat includes a bottom plate with receptacles for receiving semiconductor packages and a top plate having through holes, where each through hole is smaller than the receptacle with which it corresponds in the bottom plate. An alignment mechanism ensures that the top plate is aligned with the bottom plate in a manner that results in each through hole being positioned directly over a respective one of the receptacles. An attachment mechanism releasably attaches the top plate to the bottom plate in a co-planar relationship that results in the presence of a vertical space between the two plates.

Abstract: A matches-carrier including a support for the matches arranged in rows thereon and a friction-strip carried on the support. The support includes resilient bearing means arranged to bear on the matches and press the same against the friction-strip. Withdrawal of a match from the support causes the match to slip against the friction-strip to kindle the same.
