Abstract: An injection syringe for injecting a first injectable product into a body injection site of an individual, includes a first barrel containing a first product, a first syringe barrel containing the first injectable product, a first plunger displaceably mounted in the first syringe barrel; a hollow needle to be inserted into the body injection site; an adapter connected to the first syringe barrel and the needle, and a verification device to ensure that, when the first injectable product is injected, the hollow needle is not introduced into a blood vessel. The verification device includes a second syringe barrel containing a second product and connected to the adapter and a second plunger displaceably mounted in the second syringe barrel to cause a depression at the distal end of the hollow needle.

Abstract: A modular pallet for a textile printing machine, to hold textile products of different shapes and sizes to allow for effective printing on the products, the modular pallet having two parts, a first part which is fixed to the printing machine and is designed for removably fitting a second, modular part. The second part is made up of a range of exchangeable parts which are shaped and configured for different textile products. Each exchangeable part is able to fit into the first part, so that the pallet can be modified for printing different textile products.

Abstract: A printing plate loading apparatus (10) configured to load plates into a printing plate imaging device (120) includes a plate pallet loading system (100) for loading plates from originally packed plate pallet into the printing plate imaging device. Additionally a plate cassette unit (110, 310) connected to the plate pallet loading system, which is configured to receive a single cassette (112) from the plate cassette unit and to load plates from the single cassette directly into the printing plate imaging device.

Abstract: An apparatus for aligning and inserting a plate stack (112) into an automatic plate loader (100) in a predefined position. A plate pallet (116) carries the plate stack. A plate pallet adapter (128) adapted to carry the plate pallet, a centering element (236, 264) attached to the plate pallet adapter aligns the plate stack in a center position relative to the plate pallet adapter. A guiding unit (216, 220, 224, 228, 232, 504, 712) is attached to the plate pallet adapter, configured to align to the plate pallet and guide the plate pallet adapter into the automatic plate loader. In one embodiment, a plate adapter positioning sensor (268) is configured to sense and notify (124) an operator when the pallet adapter reaches the predefined position (248).

Abstract: An apparatus for limiting the movement of plates within a plate stack (11) where the plate stack (11) is positioned on a plate pallet (13) during plate handling in a computer-to-plate (CTP) imaging device. The apparatus includes a plate pallet adapter (17) configured to carry the plate stack (11) which is positioned on the plate pallet (13), and the plate pallet (13) is positioned on the plate pallet adapter (17). At least one limiter (19, 51) is attached to at least one facet of the plate stack wherein the limiters are configured to limit movement of the plate stack (11).

Abstract: A plate stock detection apparatus for detecting plates remaining on a plate pallet (13) on an automatic plate pallet loading system (18) configured to load plates into an imaging device, which includes a plate pallet adaptor (11).
