Patent GB-0117695-D0 (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to storage
IPC: B65D51/24
Filed: 2001-07-20
Abstract: A storage device (1) comprises a container holder shaped as a base plate having therein on one side at least one recess (2) shaped to receive the mouth (14) of a corresponding generally cylindrical container (11). A set of lugs (4) project inwardly from the inside wall (5) of the recess in the holder. The lugs arc spaced from the base of the recess and from each other in such manner as to allow a corresponding set of container lugs (12) externally provided on the rim (13) surrounding the mouth of the container to pass through the spaces (6) between the holder lugs when the mouth of the container is entered into the recess. The container lugs are capable of passing above the holder lugs when the container is entered in an upright position into the recess in the holder, and the container is rotated in one direction to bring the corresponding sets of lugs into register with one another, with the container lugs above the holder lugs. The container is then supported in position within the device which is, for example, itself secured to the underside of a horizontal shelf. The container is removable from the holder by manual rotation of the container in the opposite direction, the rotation being sufficient to bring the container lugs into register with the spaces between the holder lugs, thus enabling the container to be removed from the holder. <IMAGE>

Title: Capsules
IPC: B29C65/04
Filed: 2002-04-13
Abstract: Capsules, for example for the delivery of pharmaceuticals, are produced from two films (18) of a water-soluble polymeric material, by deforming the films to form a multiplicity of recesses, and filling the recesses, using two adjacent rotary dies (14, 15; 42) with recesses (16) into which the films (18) are deformed. The dies (14, 15; 42) act as electrodes for welding the films together by dielectric welding to form filled capsules (30). The capsules (30) can be separated from the resulting web either by coating at least one of the dies (14) with an electrical insulator (21), or by transferring the web from the dies (14, 15; 42) to a second pair of dies which cut the capsules (30) free. The polymeric material may be gelatin, or a water-soluble cellulose derivative such as hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, and may also contain a plasticiser.

Title: Method of and apparatus for determining a property of a sample
IPC: G01N15/12
Filed: 1992-07-24
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB93/01544 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 7, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 7, 1995 PCT Filed Jul. 22, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/02846 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 3, 1994An apparatus and method for determining a property of a sample, derived from a response obtained from the sample after an electrical pulse has been applied to it. Blood cells are subjected to an electrical pulse, a response is obtained using data retrieval means and a Fourier Transform is applied to the response. As the pulse applied is of very short duration (ideally a Dirac pulse) the Fourier transform yields information across a very broad bandwidth, typically several MHz, and accordingly a wide range of frequency response data is obtained. Certain cellular defects can be deduced from the transformed data. A detector is provided to detect precisely the presence of a cell as it passes through a particular region of an oriface. This is then used to trigger the pulse at a precisely controlled instant. This reduces the effect of random dispersion and can be adapted to ignore noise peaks which inevitably occur. The invention may be operated continuously and provides information across a bandwidth which is wider than was previously possible.
