20140240094 | Systems and Methods for Determining Container Contents, Locations, and Surroundings - Systems and methods are provided for determining whether and/or when a patient is taking his or her medication and, when appropriate, providing reminders and/or alerts to the patient to improve adherence to a medication regimen. In some embodiments, a medication container is provided that includes a capacitance sensor for sensing the contents of the medication container (e.g., pill count or quantity of liquid medication). The capacitance sensor may include interleaved or interdigitated electrodes oriented vertically, horizontally, or angularly (e.g., diagonally) relative to an axis of the medication container. Reminders and/or alerts to the patient may be triggered based at least in part on the contents of the medication container, when a cap of the container was last opened and/or closed, the location of the medication container, and/or the container's surroundings. | 08-28-2014 |

20100095705 | METHOD FOR FORMING A DRY GLASS-BASED FRIT - A dry glass-based fit, and methods of making a dry glass fit are disclosed. In one embodiment a dry glass frit comprises vanadium, phosphorous and a metal halide. The halide may be, for example, fluorine or chlorine. In another embodiment, a method of producing a dry glass frit comprises calcining a batch material for the frit, then melting the batch material in an inert atmosphere, such as a nitrogen atmosphere. In still another embodiment, a method of producing a dry glass frit comprises calcining a batch material for the frit, then melting the batch material in an air atmosphere, such as a nitrogen atmosphere | 04-22-2010 |
20110091668 | ANTIMONY-FREE GLASS, ANTIMONY-FREE FRIT AND A GLASS PACKAGE THAT IS HERMETICALLY SEALED WITH THE FRIT - An antimony-free glass suitable for use in a frit for producing a hermetically sealed glass package is described. The hermetically sealed glass package, such as an OLED display device, is manufactured by providing a first glass substrate plate and a second glass substrate plate and depositing the antimony-free frit onto the first substrate plate. OLEDs may be deposited on the second glass substrate plate. An irradiation source (e.g., laser, infrared light) is then used to heat the frit which melts and forms a hermetic seal that connects the first glass substrate plate to the second glass substrate plate and also protects the OLEDs. The antimony-free glass has excellent aqueous durability, good flow, low glass transition temperature and low coefficient of thermal expansion. | 04-21-2011 |

20130295353 | STRENGTHENED GLASS SUBSTRATES WITH GLASS FRITS AND METHODS FOR MAKING THE SAME - Strengthened glass substrates with glass fits and methods for forming the same are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a method for forming a glass frit on a glass substrate may include providing a glass substrate comprising a compressive stress layer extending from a surface of the glass substrate into a thickness of the glass substrate, the compressive stress having a depth of layer DOL and an initial compressive stress CS | 11-07-2013 |
20130327740 | DELAMINATION RESISTANT GLASS CONTAINERS - Embodiments of glass containers resistant to delamination and methods for forming the same are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a delamination resistant glass container may include a glass article having a body extending between an interior surface and an exterior surface. The body defines an interior volume. The body may include an interior region extending from 10 nm below the interior surface of the body into a thickness of the body. The interior region has a persistent layer homogeneity such that the body is resistant to delamination. | 12-12-2013 |
