20110223227 | Method for preventing direct touch contact with a germ-laden contact surface - A method for using a commercially-available silver-coated anti-microbial wound dressing (sold under the trademark Silverlon) as a protective guard to prevent direct touch-contact between the hand of an individual and a contact surface. The protective guard establishes a barrier to prevent the spread of germs and potentially disease-causing bacteria from the contact surface to the individual's hand. The protective guard can be carried in the individual's hand and simply moved against the contact surface. Alternatively, the protective guard an be attached to, bent around or folded over the contact surface to prevent direct touch-contact therewith. | 09-15-2011 |

20110284576 | FLUID STORAGE AND DISPENSING VESSELS HAVING COLORIMETRICALLY VERIFIABLE LEAK-TIGHTNESS AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A fluid storage and dispensing vessel having associated therewith a colorimetric member that is effective to change color in exposure to leakage of a gas contained in the vessel. The colorimetric member may be constituted by a film, e.g., of a shrink-wrap character, that contains or is otherwise associated with a colorimetric agent undergoing color change in exposure to fluid leaking from the vessel. Such shrink-wrap film may be applied to a portion of the vessel susceptible to leakage, or alternatively to the entire vessel, so that the film is colorimetrically effective to indicate the occurrence of a leakage event by visually perceptible change of color. | 11-24-2011 |
