A tethered closure device for a beverage container, a cap element and a beverage container. It is provided that a tethered closure device for a beverage container comprises the following components: A frame device and a cap element with an at least partially connected recloseable lid element, wherein the cap element is rotatable disposed to the frame device. The tethered closure device further comprises at least two temper evident elements, wherein the first temper evident element is disposed between the cap element and the frame device and the second temper evident element is disposed between the cap element and the lid element. Furthermore, a cap element and a beverage container is provided.

Single use hydraulic drive devices and single use large volume injectors are described. A method for single use hydraulic drive including releasing a holding device to move a catalyst coated portion of a rod into a reagent filled chamber, generating pressure in the chamber due to at least one of gas creation and thermal expansion from a chemical reaction between the catalyst coated portion and the reagent, hydraulically displacing a moveable object in hydraulic communication with the chamber, and stopping further chemical reaction when the pressure exceeds a holding device force threshold to enable the holding device to re-hold a retracted catalyst coated portion of the rod outside of the chamber. The self-regulating pressure in the chamber enables a controlled rate of hydraulic displacement of the moveable object.

Apparatuses, systems and methods of providing a smart container. The smart container contains a consumable, and includes: a container body; a label affixed to the container body; and a passive sensing tag (PST) embedded in the label. The PST includes: a backscatter antenna; a radio-frequency identification (RFID) communicative with the backscatter antenna; and at least one sensor communicative with the backscatter antenna. Responsive to a ringing from a radio frequency transceiver, the backscatter antenna provides the RFID and data from the at least one sensor. The RFID and the data are then processed to provide usage information of the consumable to a user via a dashboard available at least on a smartphone and on a desktop.

The embodiments are and include an apparatus, system and method for a liquid level monitoring dispenser for association with a liquid filled consumable. The apparatus, system and method may include: a receiver for receiving the consumable upon inversion thereof; at least one electrical contact within the receiver for communicative association with conductive strips on the consumable; a sensing module communicative with the at least one electrical contact and having associated therewith firmware for converting signals associated with the conductive strips and received at the electrical contact to an indication of the liquid level; a communications module for communicating the liquid level to at least a user display and over at least one network; a power module for powering at least the sensing module and the communications module; and at least one dispensing output in fluid communication with the consumable and capable of dispensing the liquid from the consumable to modify the liquid level.

A composition for a food product storage container includes a polypropylene co-polymer, a tie additive, a color concentrate, and Ethylene vinyl alcohol. The ethylene vinyl alcohol may be between 3 and 10% by weight of the food product storage container. The composition further comprises small particle talc. The composition may be configured to be co-injection molded to form the food product storage container which may reduce an ingress of moisture and/or oxygen.

Disclosed herein are fusion packaging and fusion packages. One package includes a frame configured to provide structure for the package, a sidewall fused to the frame, and a tethered cap connected to one end of the frame. Another package includes a sleeve configured to provide structure for the package, a tethered cap fused to one end of the sleeve, and a seal configured to be fused to a remaining end of the sleeve after the package is filled with content. Another package includes a frame configured to provide structure for the package, a film fused to the frame, a cap connected to one end of the frame, the cap including a structure to retain the cap after removal from the frame, and a seal connected to another end of the frame, where one of the cap and seal are connected to the frame after material placement.

Disclosed herein are peelable packaging and packages. A package includes a body including a plurality of peelable strips defined by perforation lines and a replaceable cap configured to fit one or more of the plurality of peelable strips. Each peelable strip is peelable from the body to access a material contained within the package.
