摘要： A replicate can be secured to a blister package intended to contain articles, such as pills, and is used to record the removal of individual articles from the blisters. To remove an article from a blister one will usually press against the blister to push the article through a frangible closure seal, breaking the seal in the process. The replicate includes a backing sheet which carries a plurality of traces alignable with corresponding blisters so that when the article is removed from the blister it will not only break the seal but it will also break the corresponding trace. All of the traces are connected to an integrated circuit which may also be formed or provided on the backing sheet, as is a power source for the integrated circuit. The breaking of the trace is an event that is recorded in the integrated circuit for later accessability. The replicate may be secured to the blister package after the package has been produced by conventional form-fill-seal equipment. The individual traces can be formed into a grid of closely spaced traces so that alignment of the traces with the individual blisters is less critical. The replicates may be formed by printing or other conventional methods on a roll of lidstock. After forming the individual replicates are severed from the roll of lidstock for securement to a blister package.

摘要： There is provided a content use monitoring package and method of making the same. The package includes a cover layer followed by a blister card layer. The third layer comprises an electronic sensor monitoring tag connected to a rupturable layer imprinted with a conductive grid. The grid is printed on a non-conductive, non paperboard rupturable substrate and is aligned with associated blisters in the blister card. To ensure precise and reliable electrical continuity between the tag and grid they are connected by a low or zero insertion force flat flex connector which connection is also reversible. The tag includes re-usable electronic circuitry and power source. The fourth and bottom layer is a backing which contains a mechanism to tear open the package and remove the tag by unplugging the flex circuit connector. The tag can then be reused and the battery replaced as required.

摘要： A tag for sensing environment conditions in a package may be located within the package or external thereto, and is encased within a food or pharmaceutical grade material such that the tag is hermetically sealed within the material and will not be affected by the environmental conditions to which it will be subjected. The sensor affiliated with the tag can also be located at an end of a conductor or probe that also is hermetically sealed to the material encasing the tag itself. The sensor, remotely located with respect to the tag, may be located within the package being monitored, while the tag itself is located external to the package. The probe may be formed of stainless steel with the sensor being mounted within the tip of the probe to facilitate penetration of the probe into the package.

摘要： A content use monitoring system is provided for monitoring use of blister packaged contents. The monitoring device comprises an integrated circuit (14), battery (16) and piezo-electric foil (18) or other transducer that can be attached to a existing blister package, in physical contact with their backing, via adhesive. When a content is expelled from a blister through the backing, the piezo-electric foil (18) or other transducer is deformed, generating an electrical signal. The integrated circuit (14) monitors the piezo-electric foil circuit for such signals, analyses them, and if they meet the programmed specifications, the time and other characteristics of the event are recorded in the integrated circuit's memory. The content use data can later be downloaded for analysis, education or clinical purposes via either a remote or contact reader.

摘要： The Med-ic™ Electronic Compliance Monitor (ECM) addresses the problem of patient non-compliance with prescribed medication. The Med-ic™ ECM provides precise information about the patient's use of blister-packaged medication in clinical research and general pharmacy settings. Using an on-board central processing unit (CPU), the Med-ic™ ECM records the time each tablet or capsule is expelled from the blister package, keeping a record for later analysis. At the time of refilling or follow-up visit, the information is downloaded to the research assistant's, physician's or pharmacist's computer where it can be displayed graphically. The data can be stored for later analysis. Production of a Med-ic™ ECM Tag involves numerous steps. These steps incorporate certain methods and technologies to accomplish their objective, the steps being detailed in the specification.

摘要： An electronic tampering detection system is applied to a blank which can be formed into a package through the use of closure tabs which are coated with an electrically conductive adhesive. An electronic chip or CPU is applied to the blank and electrically conductive traces are printed or otherwise formed on the blank to connect the CPU to a first pair of the closure tabs to form an electric circuit. Other traces on the blank connect the first pair of closure tabs to the other closure tabs to form an enlarged circuit. The CPU has procedure memory, data memory, a power source, a clock and communication means associated therewith. If a package is opened accidentally or intentionally before it should be opened by way of the closure tabs the electric circuit is broken and a time stamp from the CPU clock is stored in the data memory for later retrieval. The circuit can be formed as resistances in parallel and an analog to digital converter can be used to provide an appropriate signal to the CPU. The electric circuit can cover a large portion of the blank's surface to provide a signal in the event of unauthorized penetration of the formed package.
