Abstract:
A cartridge for an aerosol-generating system includes a liquid storage portion configured to store a liquid aerosol-forming substrate. The liquid storage portion includes one or more flexible walls and is configured to change at least one of the shape and the size of the liquid storage portion upon a change of the volume of the liquid aerosol-forming substrate held in the liquid storage portion. The cartridge includes a sensor configured to detect data of a physical property. The data relates to at least one of a corresponding shape and a corresponding size of the liquid storage portion so that the volume of the liquid aerosol-forming substrate held in the liquid storage portion is determinable from the measured data.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a sheet material container being made of a sheet material and including a body portion and a bottom portion that is to be disposed on a placement surface, and the sheet material including a plurality of film layers. A body portion sheet that constitutes the body portion includes a bonding portion where peripheral edge portions of the sheet materials are bonded. In a bottom surface sheet that constitutes the bottom portion, a non-adhesive region is provided in the plurality of film layers. The non-adhesive region forms a bottom filler-filled portion. The bottom filler-filled portion extends annularly around a non-filled portion, and includes at least three protruding leg portions that are to be placed on the placement surface so as to allow the container to stand by itself. The protruding leg portions protrude toward the placement surface past other portions in the bottom filler-filled portion due a leg forming portion.
Abstract:
A device for washing eyes that allows for single-handed dispensing of fluid into a user's eye. The device consists of a container and a container locator. The container locator includes a cap with a base-supporting member that supports an arced base suspended above the cap. In use, the user holds the device with one hand and rests the arced base on the user's brow to control the direction of the fluid expelled from the container into the user's eye while fingers on the other hand reach through gaps in the base-supporting member to hold the user's eye open.

Abstract:
A storage and carrying bag for climbing, rigging, and rescue gear that provides a user with quick and efficient access to stored gear. The bag includes a dual-compartment body, a first fastening mechanism, an at least one second fastening mechanism, a first strap, and a second strap. The dual-compartment body includes a first panel section, a middle panel section, and a second panel section. The first panel section and the second panel section are connected to the middle panel section on either side to delineate a zig-zag storage body. The first fastening mechanism is perimetrically integrated in between the first panel section and the middle panel section to delineate a first compartment. The second fastening mechanism is perimetrically integrated in between the second panel section and the middle panel section to delineate a second compartment. The first strap and the second strap are externally mounted to the dual-compartment body.
Abstract:
A catheter connector assembly which may be included with a corporeal drainage system, and a method of draining fluid from a bodily cavity. The catheter connector assembly may include a catheter connector and a drainage line connector. The catheter connector may include a connector body with a coupling feature, a deformable sealing element, and a retaining member. The drainage line connector may include a drainage line body first and second hinge clips, and an actuator. The actuator is designed to deform the deformable sealing element when the drainage line connector is coupled to the catheter connector.
Abstract:
A roll-up water bottle comprises a hollow cylindrical opening adjacent one end thereof. The opening retains a removable closure/filter assembly. That assembly includes a filter retained within a bottle cap. The cap is positioned within a bottle opening support member retained within the hollow cylindrical opening. The filter housing is generally cylindrical but also includes an outer profile that includes a pair of opposed flat walls. When the filter is secured within the bottle cap and the cap secured within the bottle opening support member, a pair of water flow channels are created. Upon the user applying suction or pressure from squeezing the bottle, water contained with the bottle flows through vent openings in the filter, but also up through the water flow channels. The result is a more even distribution of fluid across a greater portion of the filter.
Abstract:
Exemplary dispensers and refill units having collapsible outlet tubes are disclosed herein. An exemplary refill unit includes a container, a pump having an outlet that is movable in a reciprocating motion and a flexible tube. A first end of the flexible tube is in fluid communication with the outlet of the pump and a second end connectable to a dispenser. When the second end is connected to a dispenser, the second end is stationary and movement of the pump outlet away from the second end causes the pump to dispense fluid and movement of the pump outlet toward the second end causes the flexible tube to collapse.
Abstract:
The container produced in a coextrusion-type blow molding process, which consists of a substantially rigid outer container and an easily deformable inner bag, with the inner bag being closed by a bottom weld seam when excess material is squeezed off at the bottom of a blow mold, and said bottom weld seam being clamped in a likewise closed bottom weld seam of the outer container, at least one pressure compensating opening being formed on both sides of the bottom weld seam, and all pressure compensating openings being formed at points of the outer container that are offset in the circumferential direction from the intersection lines of a plane extending through the bottom weld seam and through the longitudinal center axis of the container with the circumferential wall of the outer container and of the inner bag so that the inner bag contracts only from two sides when the container contents is dispensed, is characterized in that the wall thickness of the inner bag is greater in the area of the intersection lines than in the interposed circumferential portions.
Abstract:
The apparatus (1) for preserving and dispensing a food product such as a yogurt has a reservoir (4) outside which the product can be extracted by actuating an extraction device (20). The apparatus makes it possible to store and cool the reservoir in a storage compartment (3). The reservoir (4), in the form of a malleable packaging whereof the inner volume decreases in response to the extraction of the food product, is loaded in a holder (11) and fastened in a reclined position using fastening members (63, 64). In said reclined position, the opening of the reservoir faces a slit of the holder and the reservoir (4) extends between its rear end, which is kept in a stationary and adjacent position with respect to the rear end of the holder, and its front end, which is kept in a stationary and adjacent position with respect to the front end of the holder, independently of the deformation of the reservoir (4).
