Filed Sept. 14, 1970, Ser. No. 71,851 Int. Cl. B65d 83/04, 85/62 US. Cl. 206-42 9 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE SUMMARY AND DETAILED DESCRIPTION This invention relates to novel package means and more particularly to unit dose packaging for the dispensing of pharmaceuticals.
In the prior art solid pharmaceuticals have been available in unit dose packages for distribution to the patient in a hospital or at the bedside. The unit dose packages employed for this purpose have various forms such as printed strips of film-and-foil unit doses. Some of the prior art packages of this type lack adequate labelling so that the nature of the medication dispensed is sometimes open to question. Also, in some cases the packages are not tamper-proof and lack means for assuring in advance that the medication is in agreement with the labelling.
The object of the present invention therefore is to provide a unit dose package which can be dispensed to the patient in a convenient container with complete labelling for the container itself as well as the pharmaceutical dispensed.
Another object is to provide economical unit dose packaging for pharmaceuticals.
Still another object is to provide a unit dose package which is completely ingestible without risk to the patient.
Another object of the invention is to provide pharmaceutical forms which are dispensable in unit doses by mechanical dispensing systems.
These and other objects, purposes and advantages of the invention will be seen from the following description and the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a view in assembly of a cap and body container and a solid pharmaceutical form of a unit dose package according to a preferred form of the invention;
FIGS. 2 and 3 are views of upright and inverted unit dose packages of the invention;
FIGS. 4 and 5 are side views of packages, according to the invention, showing means of sealing the same;
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken on lines 66 of FIG. 4;
FIG. 7 is an illustration of a preferred way of opening a unit dose package according to the invention;
FIGS. 8a, 8b and 8c are fragmented sections of a package locking construction according to the invention; and
FIGS. 9 and 10 are a plan view and a side view, respectively, of a preferred cartridge for unit dose packaging according to the invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, the unit dose package or container 10 includes a hard shell gelatin capsule cap with a 3,702,653 Patented Nov. 14, 1972 ice telescopically matching body 25. The cap 20 has an open end 21 defined by the cut line 22, a closed end or top- 23 and a cylindrical side wall 24. The body likewise has an open end 26, out line 27, bottom 28 and side wall 29. The matching cap and body join together in conventional fashion to provide a hollow container in which is contained a pharmaceutical form 30 which may be any solid, medicament-including body such as a hard shell or soft shell gelatin capsule, a tablet, pill, etc. The capsule 30, as illustrated, has a conventional cap and body joined together and sealed by a band 32 overlying the cut line of the cap. The capsule has closed ends 33 and 38 and side walls 34 and 39. It is separate from the container 10 and freely moveable on the inside of the container.
In a preferred form of the invention at least one of the parts of the container 10 is clear or light-transmissive or includes a clear or light-transmissive portion. In this way the contents of the container can be readily seen through the wall. One such preferred form illustrated in FIG. 2 has a clear or transparent body; the cap is opaque. Also, the pharmaceutical form 30 (whether a capsule, tablet, pill, etc.) contained in container 10 is shaped, colored and/or labelled by a code which identifies the source, dosage and medication. Correspondingly, the opaque cap 20 has the same information printed in a legend contrasting with the opaque surface of the cap together with indications for administration.
For purposes of definition, the characterizing, informational and medicament-identifying features of the instant unit dose package, howsoever located on the package, will sometimes be referred to as indicia means. As used herein, the term includes manufacturer identity, code numbers or other legend, color codes, design features, color banding, medicament shapes or configurations, lot numbers, dosage symbols, warnings, indications, etc. (see Physicians Desk Reference, s.IV, 1970).
According to the invention, when the container 10 is held upright, as in FIG. 2, the identity of the contents can be checked by comparing the information or indicia means associated with the pharmaceutical form itself with that on the exterior of the container. When the same item is inverted, as shown in FIG. 3, no such comparison can be made. This feature is advantageous for use in dispensing machines where it is desired to display a portion of the contents by window means to the operator but without revealing the complete identity of the article.
In another embodiment the unit dose package of the invention is tamper-proof. In this embodiment the cap and body parts are partly joined as in FIG. 4 so that the side walls 24 and 29 overlap in a double-walled portion 41. The double-walled portion 41 includes a seal 42 located in the overlap, preferably about halfway between the cut lines 22 and 27. The seal 42 is made in the joined capsule conveniently by branding, i.e., by briefly applying a heated wire, probe or similar tool laterally or radially inward upon the wall to cause the Wall to soften or melt and to deform. In particular, the heated end of the tool softens the cap side wall 24 and forms an indentation 42a as shown in FIG. 8a. The tool correspondingly transfers a portion of the wall 24 to wall 29, in the form of a disc-like offset 42b. The latter presses into and cohesively deforms the softened body side wall 29 at interface 420. As the tool is withdrawn, the Weld quickly sets or becomes rigid in the configuration illustrated. The resulting seal locks the parts together so that, prior to dispensing, they cannot be accidentally rotated with respect to each other, joined further, disjointed, or otherwise changed in relative position.
When it is desired to open the container for administration, the same can be accomplished by a shearing movement of the cap and body with respect to each other. This canbe done by manually twisting the cap and body parts against each other or preferably, as illustrated in FIG. 7, by pinching the two parts together to a position (FIG. of more complete joining. This serves to break the seal so that the cap and body parts are freely moveable, radially or axially, with respect to each other. Once the seal has been broken the cap can be readily lifted from the body and the contents dispensed using the body as a convenient carrying cup for administration to the patient. The cap is retained as a record or history of the ultimate disposition of the medication.
As indicated, the container is tamper-proof: once the seal 42 has been broken, whether or not the contents have actually been removed, the visual telltale appearance of the area of the seal demonstrates that the container parts have been disturbed. In particular, the seal will be loose and the parts easy to separate. Furthermore, cursory examination of the body in the seal area 42, as shown in FIGS. 8b and 81:, will show in a typical case that the offset 42b has been fractured leaving a sharp collar 42d on the margin of the seal opening of the cap side wall. In this case the offset itself, adhering to the body, stands out prominently because of its opaque color in contrast to the clear appearance of side wall 29. Also, when the parts are separated and then rejoined, the cut line of the body will invariably catch on the collar 42d. Again, in another case which is common (FIG. 80), fracturing of the seal tears away part of the wall 29 and leaves a hole in both side walls 24 and 29; the disc-like offset 42b is broken loose from both cap and body. To avoid discovery, attempts to reseal an opened container by heat means or other means are generally unsatisfactory since these merely cause the opening in the seal area to become excessively large.
As will be appreciated, the unit dose package of the invention is completely ingestible inasmuch as the container 10 is of pharmaceutical grade gelatin or, if desired, an equivalent substance having the characteristics of gelatin. If by accident the container were to be ingested by an infant, for example, the container itself would be essentially harmless. Such containers produced by the dip molding process in sizes ranging from small (#5) up to large (#000) and larger are commercially available. The containers can also be made available in self-locking form, e.g., of the types described in U .S. Patents 3,399,803 and 3,508,678. For purposes of the invention, the size of the container 10 should ordinarily exceed that of the contained medicament form 30 such that the latter is freely slideable into and from the container. For instance, in one preferred embodiment the form 30 is a #3 banded hard shell gelatin capsule and the container is a #000 capsule. The pharmaceutical form 30 suitably is finished with an exterior surface inert to or compatible with the interior surface of the container 10. Conventional finishes such as sugar coating, talc, enteric coating, etc., may be used, for example.
The invention also contemplates the provision of cartridges 50 containing a plurality of unit dose forms. One preferred cartridge, having an open display surface 50a, is a corrugated paper board of suitable length having a flat base 50b supporting a row of evenly spaced juxtaposed compartments 51 to receive a like number of capsule containers 10 end-for-end. The compartment walls 53 are self-adjustably flexible in relation to each other and are located to receive each container in a snug fit. The fit should preferably be such that the container, once in place, remains stationary, i.e., does not rotate within the compartment. This arrangement permits assembling large numbers of a given size of container 10 on the production line in continuous fashion for handling and stacking (e.g., each cartridge with base down or on edge with the medicament forms 30 partly or wholly viewable) in groups of predetermined number, e.g., ten units each. The cartridge has particular advantage for dispensing from inventory using selection and retrieval hardware. One preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 9 is a cartridge standing on its length edge with its display surface foremost and with its compartments 51 loaded with unit dose packages 10 all positioned with the body 25 down. Preferably the body wall 29 is clear so that the pharmaceutical content 30 is viewable Whereas the cap wall 24 is opaque and is labelled in a color ,contrasting with the opaque wall. Optionally, the packages 10 are locked by heat seal means 42 and each seal is located for viewing at the display surface. For dispensing purposes suitable means can be provided such as selector finger means for dislodging the individual unit dose from an open end 52 of the cartridge as desired. In a large hospital, for example, distribution can be decentralized from a central pharmacy into an appropriate number of satellite centers each equipped with the mentioned cartridge supply hardware containing an inventory of one or more types of unit dose medication according to the invention.
In order to further protect the contents of the unit dose package, the invention contemplates enclosing the container 10 (or cartridge 50, whether singly or in quantity) in a sealing envelope of a sterility-and-moistare-barrier film material such as aluminum foil, polyalkylene plastic film, cellophane, etc. This can be done in any suitable way such as strip packaging for the containers 10 or skin-packaging, thermoforming, etc., for the cartridge 50. For dispensing the unit dose the barrier envelope can be opened by conventional means such as a tear strip, tear notching, end punching, etc.
While the invention has been described in considerable detail in the specification, it will be realized by those skilled in the art that wide variation can be made in such detail within the spirit of the invention claimed below; it is intended that the claims be interpreted to cover both the invention particularly described and any such variation.

News: Enjoying British Beef and Lamb - 26th March, 2016
Growing up in a typical Hindu family in North India I was vegetarian throughout my childhood. It was not until my early twenties, after completing my medical degree, getting married to Rakesh and moving to London with him, that I started eating meat. In those days it was not easy finding vegetarian food in the UK, certainly not in the canteens in the hospitals where we worked.
One aspect of eating meat here is that the quality of British beef and lamb is really excellent. The climate is well suited to rearing of cattle and sheep and there are strict standards of welfare and quality.
Simply Beef and Lamb is a division of the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board. It supports the Red Tractor Mark, which confirms that rules about food safety, animal welfare, traceability and environmental impact are followed, and the Quality Standard Mark, which lets us know that all beef and lamb marked with the logo meet very high quality standards.
When my girls were born, they were both meat eaters from the start, and they enjoy a varied diet to this day. They love many of my Indian recipes, which are particularly delicious made with British beef and lamb.
Here are some suggestions for beef and lamb, and you can find many more via the Search function.

If there were an Italian dessert hall of fame, cannoli would surely be in it (along with tiramisu, gelato and ricotta cheesecake). The word "cannoli" is as recognizable and understood as the word "pizza." It has to do with the broad appeal of the product. Everyone, from kids to senior citizens, loves cannoli. Cannoli's (the … More »

Marinating Mushrooms
One of the easiest ways to ramp up the flavor of any pizza featuring mushrooms is to marinate the earthy delights for a day or two. Not only will the produce taste better, but it won't dry out in the oven, either. Start with white button mushrooms and quarter them. Soak them for up to … More »
Sauce Production
If we look at a pizza crust as a canvas on which the pizzaiola can create his art, then it follows that the sauce becomes the foundation for the work. Pizza sauce has come a long way. Not too many years ago (less than 40, in fact) it was tomato, and nothing but the tomato, that … More »
Dough Doctor: National Pizza Month
Here we are, October and National Pizza Month. It's time to celebrate! For some operators the summer has been slow, but now that kids are back in school, pizza is back on the menu again for social and school functions, and home meals for families on the go.

Consistent Pizza
We all strive for consistency. In sports, you'll hear players and coaches say all they ask from officials is that they be consistent. The word choice is interesting. They don't demand accuracy, they demand consistency. In baseball, for example, managers often don't care if a pitch on the outside corner is called a ball instead … More »
Meal Portion Sizes
How do you determine portion sizes? How much difference should there bebetween lunch and dinner portions? Well, first you need to determine what food cost percentage you want to run. Then you've got to cost out your raw product by the ounce. Make sure you include the cost of everything that comes with it such as complimentary … More »
Portion Control vs Freehand
What are the advantages of portion control, or is it best to freehand? The biggest advantage of portion control is definitely food cost control. This is an area that many foodservice workers miss out on. Over-portioning can account for a large part of high food costs second to food waste. You obviously want to start with portion … More »
Soggy Pizza from Veggies
I prefer using fresh vegetables on my pizza, but they have more water content and create a soggy pizza. Is there a solution to this problem? A: Yes, there is. I like fresh veggies too, and I solved that problem by using a Japanese breadcrumb. I find it best to sauce the dough first, then … More »
Pizza Sticks to Screen
I bought some new pizza screens for use in my conveyor oven, but pizza keeps sticking to them. What is the problem? Before using new pizza screens, you need to spray them (make sure it's an oil-based spray) and run them through the conveyor about 8 to 10 times, until they get dark in color. This … More »
Hand Toss for Convection Oven
My son just over a small bar/restaurant and really wants to offer hand-tossed pizzas. Can they be cooked in the convection oven? A: You can bake a decent pizza in a convection oven, but you can't bake it in a pizza pan. See, in a traditional pizza oven, you have about 85 to 90 percent … More »

If you like vampire movies and are looking for one that is not cheesy, this is one you'll want to see. There is quite a bit of action and even a little humor thrown in. There have been better movies, but this one is pretty good. The title could be renamed, as there are a couple of other movies with the same name. And therefore, confusing. But the movie is good.

For all of those who remember Jessica Canary tearing up the hardwood at South Putnam, she's doing much of the same at the college level.
In her third year at the University of Indianapolis, Canary led her team to the Division II Sweet 16, the furthest the team has ever made it in the tournament.
In game one against Hillside, Canary drained a three-pointer with just 3.7 left on the clock for the win. In game two against Quincy, who was ranked ninth in the country, she put up a career high of 33 points.
The Greyhounds lost their third game of the tournament to Michigan Tech Tuesday night. Canary scored 11 points against the Huskies.
The Big Dance wasn't the only place Canary was making some noise. Throughout the season, she has been named to the DII All-Conference for the Great Lakes Valley Conference Team, the DII ESPN Academic All-Region (Midwest) Team, named the Disney Tip-Off Classic Most Valuable Player and named to the NCAA All-Tournament Team.
Canary finished the 2008-09 season second on the team in scoring with a 14.5 per game average. She also ranked first in rebounds per game with 5.5 and her 43 steals were second best on the team. In addition, she led the Greyhounds in blocks with 18 and in three-point percentage, connecting on 41 percent from behind the arc.
The Greyhounds ended the season with a record of 24-9.

Even if there was a big bang with no corresponding big crunch, that's not a proof for God. It has been established that certain particles can "pop" into existence out of "nothing". Mind you they don't last very long, but it proves the principle that nature abhors a vaccuum.
Also there's the circular reasoning argument, which begs the question who or what created God?
Then there's the cultural bias. How do you know it's the Abrahamic god that created the cosmos and not a different deity?
Hmm interesting so certain particles can "pop" into existence out of nothing?
Please give reference here, purely for the sake of completeness.
Now, regarding that statement, what makes people think that they "popped" out of nothing? One of the interesting things about certain particles is that "tachyons" for example or "neutrinos" also seem to be able to "pop" into existence without evidence of causality, but then again such "hypothetical particles" if they did in fact break or bend around the light speed barrier, could theoretically travel into the past and thus seem to "pop" into existence....
just saying.

|Remarks from JAA President Susan J. Onuma
Warmest wishes for a wonderful new year!
After twenty years at our old location, we just completed our first year at our new home. I hope you have all had a chance to visit our new office space and community center, which has been bustling with activity since our move.
Our Community Center is the home of more than 50 different groups and holds hundreds of events in the course of each year. It reflects all of us – our common goals, our interests and our culture. Many people think that because of our name in Japanese - "Nikkeijinkai" - that we are an organization only for Japanese Americans but in reality, for more than 100 years, we have provided services to Japanese and their descendants who first came to the United States for study, marriage or business opportunities. After World War II, JAA supported Japanese living in Japan through LARA Bushi and Japanese Americans who were released from US internment camps and decided to resettle in the NY area rather than return to the West Coast. Currently, there is a great musical on Broadway called "Allegiance" (playing until February 14, 2016) which describes the conflict, challenges and injustices faced by many Japanese living in the US when the US and Japan went to war.
Wherever possible, we try to collaborate and coordinate with other organizations. In addition to our annual Sakura Health Week in the spring and Senior Week in the fall (both of which run for almost 4 weeks and have over 1,500 participants), we have held a joint panel discussion with Nippon Club and the Japanese Medical Society of America and a joint JAA-Hoshuko Alumni Networking event among others. As we approach the 5th Anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, we are proud to be one of the few organizations still continuing to support NPOs in Tohoku.
As we all go through life-changing challenges or events, the importance of a place like JAA-NY becomes even more important as we reflect on what is important in life – our health, friends and family. I hope that each of you will participate and contribute towards the future of our Community Center. We will have our "shinnenkai" at our Community Center on January 27, 2016. We are very excited to host a new year of activities, programs and events for our community – not just for seniors but for our next generation! Please join us!
A huge thanks goes to our staff and our volunteers who help keep our activities running so smoothly and to all our members, donors and sponsors who help support our activities and mission. We are so grateful to all of you!
Thank you and warmest wishes for a healthy and happy 2016!
Susan J. Onuma, President

|Four Students from Tohoku
The Northeast Association of Secondary Teachers of Japanese (NECTJ), led by Kazuo Tsuda as President, invited four high school students from Japan who had been visiting New York to meet students of the same age group and to discuss their experiences of the disaster in 2011. One student talked about his experience as a volunteer in Onogawa, Miyagi, and his future vision to establish an NPO in underdeveloped countries. Another student was 12 years old when the tsunami struck her hometown of Namie-cho, Fukushima. She described that cold, frightening day and what it was like after the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear power plant disaster. She and her family still live in Miyagi prefecture, and they don't know when they can return. She and her classmates made an illustrated book to describe their experiences of March 11, 2011, stating that there aren't as many documentary films about Fukushima. Witnessing the tragedy and receiving help from volunteers inspired these students to work for their communities. We were very impressed by the sincerity and strong will of these students. This event was made possible by the "Kizuna Project" of NECTJ, which JAA has supported the last four years.
Through generous funding from the Honjo Foundation, JAA is looking for qualified candidates for its 2016 JAA - HONJO Scholarships. This is open to students who will be enrolled in a full time course of graduate study (except music, arts and medicine) at an accredited U.S. university in the Greater New York area in the academic year 2016-2017. The student should be able to demonstrate an interest in and ideally is already involved in furthering U.S. - Japan relations. Candidates don't have to be JAA members or Japanese descendants. Due to Presidents' Day Holiday, deadline for JAA- Honjo Scholarship has been extended to February 16, 2016 noon.
|Farewell Party for Consul Aoyagi
JAA held a farewell party for Consul Yoshikatsu Aoyagi, who supported the relationship between JAA and the Consulate General of Japan in New York. He held many lectures on Japanese citizenship and offered advice about safety in New York at Sakura Health Fair, Senior Week and other events. JAA President Susan Onuma presented a "Certificate of Appreciation," a Tiffany's Crystal Apple and a cookbook for his dedicated service to the community during his tenure of three years and seven months in New York.
We will introduce his successor, Consul Hayato Ishizuka, to our members at our New Year Reception on January 27.
|Japanese Language Fall Workshop
26 people attended our language workshop on October 24th. The theme was "Teaching of Japanese Language with Japanese Traditional Arts." Guest speakers gave informative speeches regarding their teaching methods using Rakugo, Noh and Haiku.
JAA Grand Bazaar!
|JAA-HAA Networking Party
JAA and HAA ( the Hoshuko Alumni Association ) hosted a special networking event for bilingual young professionals in New York on December 16, 2015 at JAA Hall. HAA is a non-profit alumni organization incorporated in 2004, consisting of students who have attended any "Hoshuko" (Japanese schools typically offered to K-12 students on weekends in addition to their American School English curriculum) within the U.S. The event was conceived as an opportunity for young professionals to meet and make connections with business professionals. Over 50 people enjoyed making new connections over delicious food and drinks.

Is there any Win32 API for waking up a system that has been shut down, at a specific time? I have seen a program named Autopower On which is able to power the system on at a specified time.
Got the below post from a site. Any body tried this?
Nothing in the framework, so you'll have to "PInvoke" a bit. The API's you need to call are CreateWaitableTimer and SetWaitableTimer. Following is a complete (Q&D) sample that illustrates how you can set a system to be awoken from sleep/hibernate using above Win32 API's. Note that here I'm setting a relative wakeup time of 300000000 nSecs. That means that the computer will wake-up (supposing he's asleep or hibernating) within 30 seconds after setting the timer. Consult the MSDN docs for details on SetWaitableTimer and it's arguments.
Once you actually shut down your computer(not sleeping or hibernating) you can't wake it up from C#, C++ code directly. After all the OS itself is closed.
The only chance would be for your motherboard to support some kind of timer mechanism. And with some C++ function to be able to write some flags into the BIOS and set that timer.
This Wake on LAN (WOL) code project post might be of use (Both motherboard and NIC must support WOL)
Use the windows "Scheduled Task" menu. See:
You create a program that you want to run upon wake up and then manually enter it into the windows scheduled task list for the first time to wake after a specific time.
When you program awakens, I am not sure if you need your program to call a Windows API to stop it being awoken again, ditto if you want your program to power off the PC after starting another sceduled task to awaken it again. Need to reserach what windows APIs there are for this.

Libya struggles to create army out of militias• Washington Post
Libyan leaders began to establish a new interim government with the authority to create the armed forces, choosing the technocratic Abdurrahim el-Keib as prime minister. But the militiamen who won the eight-month war have made it clear that they will not submit meekly to the new civilian authorities.
