Abstract: A child-resistant compact or tablet case (10) of one-piece
molded plastic construction made up of a generally flat rectangular base
(12) and a cover top (14) interconnected by an integral "living" hinge
(16). Each front edge flange (24,26) has an arcuate recess (28,30), and
these recesses are mutually offset from each other laterally of the case
(10) when it is closed with the flanges (24,26) lying against one
another. The base (12) has a pair of latch spring fingers (36,38)
disposed one on each of the laterally opposed sides near the front edge
of the base (12) and that protrude upwardly from the base bottom wall
(18) in cantilever fashion. The top (56) has a cooperating pair of
pockets (40,42) that receive the free latch-tang ends (44) of the spring
fingers (36,38) to render them exterior-accessible in the closed
condition of the case (10). The outer edges of these pockets (40,42)
form the strike portion of the latch system. To open the case (10),
squeeze pressure must be applied with one hand simultaneously to both of
the spring finger tang ends (44) to move them to unlatched condition,
and then to hold them in this condition while, also simultaneously, with
the other hand pry-open pressure is applied to the two front lip flanges
(24,26) at the aforementioned offset recesses (28,30). This two-handed
operation further resists opening by a child because of its complex
dual-hand-manipulative coordination requirement.

Abstract: An analytical method of qualitative and optionally quantitative determination of the occurrence of polymerization/coagulation in a fluid containing polymerizable/coagulable components is described. The method comprises the steps of directing incident beams of electromagnetic radiation through a transparent support on which a film of electrically conducting material is placed, to the back of the film, at angles equal to or greater than the critical angle for total reflection, and measuring changes in the reflected beams due to changes in the surface plasmon resonance angle. Repeated measurements are correlated to the occurrence and magnitude of changes with qualitative and optionally quantitative occurrence of polymerization/coagulation in the fluid. The analytical method is not volume dependent since only one (small) surface of the measuring instrument needs to be in contact with the fluid. Further, the method can also be applied to poorly transparent fluids such as blood.
