An apparatus comprising a heater configured to heat smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material, wherein the heater comprises a plurality of heating projections arranged sequentially along a longitudinal axis of the heater; and the projections are configured to heat smokable material located between the projections. An elongate smokable material cartridge comprising a plurality of smokable material sections is also described.

Heating smokeable material

A system, method, and device for preserving blood and its components is described. The system and method generally include a device having a body defining a chamber, the chamber being configured to receive at least one bag containing blood or its components, the at least one bag being permeable to gas, for example, xenon. A cover is hermetically sealable to the body. An inlet is in fluid communication with the chamber. A pressure indicator is configured to indicate pressure in the chamber, the pressure indicator including a conduit containing a liquid. A portion of the conduit is transparent such that the liquid is visible. A source of pressurized gas, such as xenon, is provided to provide the pressurized gas to the chamber.

System, method, and device for preserving blood or its components in gas medium under pressure

A method and a platelet concentrate preservation device for platelet concentrate storage. A method includes at least partially saturating platelet concentrate xenon, and storing the platelet concentrate at less than 15 C in a generally horizontal position. A device can be used to store blood, blood products, or combinations thereof that may or may not be under pressure. The device includes a chamber having a cavity. The chamber includes first and second chamber parts that form the cavity when releasably connected together. The cavity is designed to receive at least one bag that contains the blood, blood products, or combinations thereof. The device also includes a high-strength casing and includes a chamber cavity. The high-strength casing includes first and second casing parts that form the chamber cavity when releasably connected together. The chamber cavity is designed to receive the chamber.

A product includes a container including a neck, and a ring non-removably secured to the neck of the container. The ring may be used to non-removably couple a fitment to the container and/or may be adapted irreversibly to change a characteristic of the ring that is visible from outside of the container to advise a user that the package has been opened.

Non-removable container neck ring

A reusable aseptic connector is provided. The connector may be used to provide fluid communication between a bag-in-box (BIB) container and a beverage dispenser. The connector may provide aseptic properties of the connection by insulation of an inner volume of a first part and an inner volume of a second part, with the beverage component kept from contacting any of the part of the connector structure that are exposed to the environment and have a risk of induced contamination. The connector may comprise a resilient membrane and a sliding tube wherein the sliding tube is configured to have a portion move toward and through the resilient membrane to establish fluid communication between the first part and the second part, and for the portion to move away from the resilient membrane to destablish fluid communication between the first part and the second part when desired.

Aseptic connector for a free-flowing food

A product includes a closure having a radially inner portion, and being removably securable to a container, and a pendant releasably coupled to the radially inner portion of the closure, and being releasable from the closure into the container upon removal of the closure from the container. A package may include the product and a container, wherein the closure is removably secured to a neck of the container to removably close the container, and the pendant is suspended from the closure in an interior of the container neck, such that when the closure is removed from the container, the pendant releases from the closure and drops into the container and is non-removably carried therein to provide an indication that the package has been opened from its original factory sealed condition.
