20110139785 | CONTAINER WITH COMPLEMENTARY SAWTOOTH FEATURES ON LID AND BASKET TO FACILITATE OPENING - A container for holding goods comprises a basket having a base and a sidewall, a lid mateable with the basket, a first sawtooth structure formed within the sidewall and a second sawtooth structure formed within the lid and substantially mirroring the first sawtooth structure when the lid is mated with the basket. | 06-16-2011 |
20120067009 | CONTAINER WITH IMPROVED TAMPER EVIDENT STRUCTURE - A container comprises a basket having a basket lip along at least a portion of a periphery of the basket, a basket tear strip connected to the basket along at least a portion of the basket lip; a lid mated with the basket, the lid having a lid lip along at least a portion of a periphery of the lid, and a lid tear strip connected to the lid along at least a portion of the lid lip. An outer edge of the basket lip includes a plurality of notches and an inner edge of the basket tear strip has a shape that complements the outer edge of the basket lip. The basket tear strip is connected to the basket lip by a plurality of basket links arranged at notches of the outer edge of the basket lip, each link extending between a notch and a complementary feature of the inner edge of the basket tear strip. Further, an outer edge of the lid lip includes a plurality of notches and an inner edge of the lid tear strip has a shape that complements the outer edge of the lid lip. The lid tear strip is connected to the lid lip by a plurality of lid links arranged at notches of the outer edge of the lid lip, each link extending between a notch and a complementary feature of the inner edge of the lid tear strip. The basket tear strip is bonded to the lid tear strip to resist separation of the lid from the basket. The bonded basket tear strip and lid tear strip are detachable from the basket lip and the lid lip when the bonded basket tear strip and the lid tear strip are urged away from the basket and the lid and detaching the bonded basket tear strip and lid tear strip exposes the outer edge of the basket lip and the outer edge of the lid lip. | 03-22-2012 |
20130341327 | CONTAINER WITH IMPROVED TAMPER EVIDENT STRUCTURE - A container comprises a basket having a basket lip and a lid with lid lip connected to a tear strip, the tear strip being bonded to the basket lip to form a seal. An applied force to the seal separates the tear strip from the lid so that the tear strip remains bonded to the basket lip and so that a lid tear surface is exposed. The basket lip includes a basket snap feature and the lid lip includes a lid snap feature. The basket snap feature and the lid snap feature are mateable to resist separation of the lid from the basket. | 12-26-2013 |
20140034547 | ENERGY DISSIPATION STRUCTURE WITH SUPPORT PILLAR FOR PACKAGING FRAGILE ARTICLES - In specific embodiments, an energy dissipation structure for supporting an article comprises a cavity adapted to receive at least a portion of the article. The cavity is bounded by a plurality of sidewall structures, each of the sidewall structures having a length and including an inner wall, an outer wall, and an arcuate structure connecting the inner wall with the outer wall. Each of the sidewall structures is connected with another of the sidewall structures by a groove extending along at least a portion of the inner walls, the outer walls, and the arcuate structures of the connected sidewall structures. The cavity includes a platform adapted to supported the article above the base when the article is seated within the cavity and a support pillar extending from the platform toward the base. | 02-06-2014 |

20120028877 | Self-Buffering Protein Formulations - The invention herein described, provides, among other things, self-buffering protein formulations. Particularly, the invention provides self-buffering pharmaceutical protein formulations that are suitable for veterinary and human medical use. The self-buffering protein formulations are substantially free of other buffering agents, stably maintain pH for the extended time periods involved in the distribution and storage of pharmaceutical proteins for veterinary and human medical use. The invention further provides methods for designing, making, and using the formulation. In addition to other advantages, the formulations avoid the disadvantages associated with the buffering agents conventionally used in current formulations of proteins for pharmaceutical use. The invention in these and other respects can be productively applied to a wide variety of proteins and is particularly useful for making and using self-buffering formulations of pharmaceutical proteins for veterinary and medical use, especially, in particular, for the treatment of diseases in human subjects. | 02-02-2012 |
