20080251119 | LAYERS THAT IMPEDE DIFFUSION OF METALS IN GROUP VI ELEMENT-CONTAINING MATERIALS - A method of making thermodynamically stable, diffusion-impeded barrier layers within, for example, a photovoltaic cell with a metal-containing electrical contact using exposure to fluorine. Exposing the cadmium telluride surface to fluorine creates a Te-poor barrier layer of cadmium fluoride. Once that barrier layer is formed, the metal-containing electrical contact may be applied or formed. The barrier layer allows tunneling current to occur between the p-type layer and the metal-containing electrical contact establishing a low-resistance, highly uniform, and thermally stable electrical contact. | 10-16-2008 |

20130340344 | Caution and Warning Barrier System for Danger of Electrical Arcing - A caution and barrier system for danger of electrical arcing is disclosed. The caution and barrier system includes at least two elongate arms that attach to respective sides of a piece of equipment. The arms carry warning indicia. Some embodiments attach via traditional mounting hardware, while others mount magnetically to the equipment. The arms may also pivot and may comprise separate sections attached together by hinges. Yet other versions of the arms may be mounted on equipment using a multi-position magnetic mount. The caution and barrier system is particularly suitable for use with high voltage apparatus where electrical arcing is likely. | 12-26-2013 |

20090032546 | PILL BOTTLE INCLUDING AN INTERNAL SLEEVE AND AN EXTERNAL SLEEVE - Systems and methods for providing a pill bottle including an internal and external sleeve are provided. A pill bottle according to the invention may include an external sleeve and an internal sleeve. The internal sleeve preferably includes a cavity for holding pills. The external sleeve is slidably coupled to the internal sleeve. The external sleeve may include a groove and the internal sleeve may include a projection that may slide within the groove. The groove may prevent substantial rotation of the external sleeve with respect to the internal sleeve by preventing a substantial rotational of the projection with respect to the groove. | 02-05-2009 |
20090032547 | THREE BUTTON ACTUATED PILL HOLDER/DISPENSER - Systems and methods for providing a three button actuated pill holder/dispenser are provided. Such a pill holder/dispenser may include a housing comprising a plurality of apertures, a top button and two side buttons. In response to actuation of the top button, a pill may be dispensed from the pill holder/dispenser. Preferably, the two side buttons, which may project through the apertures, lock the top button, such that the top button may only be actuated when the two side buttons are depressed. Alternatively, some other sequence of the buttons may be implemented to cause a pill to be actuated. Additionally, the pill holder/dispenser may be packaged in a sealable package. | 02-05-2009 |
20090037221 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING CUSTOMIZABLE PILL BOTTLE SLEEVES - Systems and methods for providing customizable sleeves for pill bottles, customizable adhesive attachments, customizable Post-it notes and methods for the manufacture thereof are provided. Also provided are methods of surveying pharmacists regarding the effect of customizable adhesive attachments to a pill bottle. The method may include using a digital computer to receive information relating to issues in implementation of a system for providing customizable adhesive attachments. The customizable adhesive attachments may be attached to the bottle. The adhesive attachments may be customizable with respect to at least two of 1) color; 2) content; and 3) texture. The method may further include using a digital computer to receive information relating to benefits obtained from the adhesive attachment. | 02-05-2009 |

20090107873 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CHILD-RESISTANT AND SENIOR FRIENDLY PACKAGING - Systems and methods related to a packaging system having a blister pack sandwiched between a plurality of protective layers. One or more protective layers disposed above the blister pack may include perforations running along the perimeter region. A child attempting to separate the protective layers from the blister pack may only be able to strip away the perimeter region thereby securing the blister pack. | 04-30-2009 |
20090277921 | Apparatus and Methods for Dispensing Items - An item dispenser and methods for dispensing the item. In some embodiments of the invention, the item dispenser may include a housing, an item carriage, and a movable support. The movable support may be indexed to position the item carriage at (1) a first position in which the item carriage is positioned to release only a first item; and (2) a second position in which the item carriage is positioned to release a second item. In some embodiments of the invention, the dispenser may include a housing, a pivotable cap and a snap fastener. The snap fastener may extend from the cap to the housing and engage the housing to lock the cap in the closed position. The cap may be opened by moving an interference block away from a snap fastener lever. | 11-12-2009 |
20090283437 | ITEM DISPENSER WITH MULTI-SECTION WELLS - A solid dosage form dispenser, and methods for its manufacture. The dispenser may include at least one well having a first section and a second section; at least one well support configured to support the well; and an enclosure element for enclosing the well and the support. The first section may be deeper than the second section; and the well may be configured to dispense one solid dosage form. | 11-19-2009 |

20080235809 | Restricted erase and unlock of data storage devices - A data storage device in which access to user data is restricted. The data storage device includes a data memory having memory locations that store user data. The device also has a program memory. The program memory includes first program code that enables a user to create a first device security ID and thereby restrict access to the stored data. Second program code, also included in the program memory, is capable of receiving a security command and comparing a second device security ID associated with the received security command to a stored security key. If the second device security ID and the stored security key correspond, then authentication with the first device security ID is bypassed and access is provided to the stored data. | 09-25-2008 |
20110307709 | MANAGING SECURITY OPERATING MODES - A storage device that supports Trusted Computer Group (TCG) security allows management of TCG security features by a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) using non-TCG security commands supported by the BIOS. In one implementation, a BIOS that does not support TCG security but does support ATA security can use ATA drive unlock to invoke TCG drive unlock on the storage device. Further, the storage device can be transitioned among multiple security operating modes (e.g., Undeclared, ATA security or TCG security). | 12-15-2011 |
