Some embodiments are directed to a bodily fluid sample collection device for the collection of naturally expressed bodily fluids and include a cap engageable with a tube to close a mouth of the tube. The cap includes a chamber for containing a reagent. The tube defines at least partly a sample collection space for receiving the naturally expressed bodily fluid. The cap comprises first and second cap portions relatively movable with respect to each other. The first and second cap portions are configured such that, responsive to engagement of the cap on the tube, one of the cap portions is caused to move integrally relative to the other cap portion to open the chamber and permit fluid communication between the chamber and the sample collection space. The reagent in the chamber is thereby permitted to mix with the bodily fluid in the sample collection space. A method of organizing and processing samples is also described.

Devices, solutions and methods for sample collection

A charcoal grill includes a vessel configured to hold and burn charcoal for cooking food. The charcoal grill may include a receptacle moveable between a first position in which the receptacle is positioned for collecting ashes from charcoal burned in the vessel and a second position in which the receptacle is separated from the vessel for disposal of the collected ashes. Additionally, or alternatively, the vessel may define a passage extending from an exterior side of the vessel to an interior side of the vessel for permitting a starter device to be inserted into the passage for igniting charcoal within the vessel. Additionally, or alternatively, the charcoal grill may include a vent system including at least one vent opening extending through a portion of the vessel, a vent cover movable with respect to the vent opening between a closed position and an open position, and at least one calibration associated with the vent cover between the closed position and the open position.

An earbud adapter or in-ear monitor includes an Ear Interface that fits the human ear and further permits the wearer of these devices to adjust parameters of the fit. In additional aspects, the Ear Interface portion of these devices permits the user to adjust the transmission of ambient sound. The Ear Interface portion also allows the user to change ornamentation.

Dual-mode container assemblies () are provided which include an open-top container () with a closure assembly () having a skirt () and a reversible lid () presenting first and second opposed faces () hingedly coupled to the skirt (). In the child-resistant configuration of the assemblies (), the lid () is latched to the skirt () by a latching arrangement (). In order to convert the container assemblies () to an adult configuration, the lid () is opened and rotated 180&#xb0; while the lid () remains connected to the skirt (). This reverses the lid face adjacent the open top of the container (). Closure of the reversed lid () occurs without any latching function between the skirt () and the lid (), so that the lid () can be readily opened. The connection between the lid () and skirt () can be effected by hinged connection of rear segment () and rotational coupling of a forward reversible body (), or by a ball joint connection between a ball () and ball mount (). In either case, the lid () is moveable about respective transverse axes to permit changeover between the child-resistant and adult configurations of the container assemblies ().
