  • Patent number: 9908271
    Abstract: In order to produce a plastic container (1,2) having a planar electronic element (15), a planar electronic element (15) is introduced into a recess (29) of an inner face of a mold. The mold comprises an outer mold part (10) and a mold core (11), which form a mold cavity (12). Molten plastic material is injected into the mold cavity (12). After the subsequent cooling of the plastic material, mold removal is carried out. The recess (29) is arranged on an inner face (26) of the outer mold part (10). The molten plastic material is injected into the mold cavity in such a way that the molten plastic material flows substantially parallel along a surface (25) of the planar electronic element (15) facing the mold cavity (12). The planar electronic element (15) is an RFID inlay, for example. The planar electronic element does not require a protective casing and can be sprayed directly.

  • Publication number: 20140328735
    Abstract: Container (10, 10?) for the laboratory area, having: a body (1) with a layer (2) that is opaque to an optical reader, is applied to the body and has clearances (21) in the form of machine-readable data, the body (1) having at least one local material modification (3), and the material modification (3) together with the opaque layer (2) forming a reading area (6), in which the machine-readable data can be read from the outside by an optical reader on the basis of the optical contrast between the material modification (3) and the opaque layer (2).

  • Publication number: 20050249640
    Abstract: An integrally built, linear array of cuvettes is made of a plastic material. This array comprises a plurality of cuvettes arranged along a straight line in an array, each cuvette in the array having the same shape and dimensions, and neighboring cuvettes being connected to each other by a single web. Each of the single webs has a curved shape. The symmetry axis (Y-Y) of every cuvette forming part of said array of cuvettes lies substantially in one and the same plane (A-A) which is a symmetry plane of said cuvette array. The upper part of at least one intermediate cuvette which is located between a first cuvette located at one end of the cuvette array and a second cuvette located at the opposite end of the cuvette array is connected by a first single web to the upper part of a neighboring cuvette lying on one side of said intermediate cuvette and is connected by a second single web to the upper part of a neighboring cuvette lying on the opposite side of said intermediate cuvette.

  • Patent number: 6887432
    Abstract: An integrally built, linear array of cuvettes is made of a plastic material. Every cuvette of the array has the same shape and dimensions. Neighboring cuvettes are connected to each other by a single web. Each of the single webs has a curved shape and each cuvette has means forming integral part thereof and serving for accurately positioning the cuvette into an opening of a cuvette holder and means for removably connecting the cuvette to the cuvette holder. Each cuvette has an upper chamber and a lower chamber having a common symmetry axis passing through the centers of both chambers. Each of the upper and lower chambers has a substantially cylindrical shape. The cross-section of the upper chamber at the central part thereof is larger than the cross-section of the lower chamber. The lower chamber has an open lower end. The upper chamber has an open top end and an annular bottom wall having a central circular opening which connects the upper chamber with the lower chamber.

  • Patent number: 6015396
    Abstract: An automatic needle retraction device includes a housing and retraction device for completely retracting a needle back into the housing after use. A selector switch device includes an equalization part, which produces a negative pressure to accept the fluid compressed during the retraction of the hollow needle. Thus, during retraction of the needle, compressed injection solution is not sprayed outward from the needle.
