Abstract: Methods and articles of manufacture for storage and shipping of nanowires are disclosed. One disclosed method includes: (a) providing a nanowire suspension including nanowires suspended in a liquid; and (b) disposing the nanowire suspension in a container for storage and shipping, where the container is configured to inhibit agglomeration of nanowires from the nanowire suspension.

Abstract: A liquid storing and dispensing package comprising a bottle having a dispensing spout, a cap normally closing the dispensing spout for storage, and a push-in portion in the bottom of the bottle. A push rod has a head stored in the spout and responsive to actuation of the push-in portion to emerge with the spout and allow liquid dispensing. In one aspect of the invention, the push rod head can be refixed and resealed within the spout, by one hand of the user, to prevent further dispensing and to save part of the contents of the bottle for late dispensing, prior to the installation of the cap.

Abstract: The fluid container with reseatable stopper includes a plunger which has mounted at one end thereof a head which seats between a pair of ribs provided in the neck of the container to create a fluid tight seal therein. The plunger is actuated by a lever set in a cavity in a bottom surface of the container, the lever moving the plunger head into and out of engagement with the ribs. A small open area is created about the circumference of the plunger head which allows fluid to flow therearound in a controlled manner when the head is not seated between the ribs.
