Abstract: An apparatus for aligning an outlet of an injection unit with an inlet of a mold mounted between platens of a molding machine includes a positioning assembly interconnecting the injection unit to the molding machine. The positioning assembly includes a first translation assembly configured to engender a first movement of the injection unit outlet along a translation plane, and a second translation assembly configured to engender a second movement of the injection unit outlet along the translation plane. The positioning assembly further includes a brake assembly extending between the first translation assembly and the second translation assembly. The brake assembly is configured to selectively create a compressive force between the first and second translation assemblies to maintain the position of the injection unit outlet.

Abstract: A liquid injection molding apparatus is provided. The liquid injection molding apparatus comprises a mold assembly; a clamping unit; an injector including a barrel; a feed screw concentrically located in the barrel; and a motor having a drive shaft removably coupled to the feed screw via a bayonet connector.

Abstract: A nozzle for use in a liquid injection molding apparatus is provided. The nozzle comprising: a body defining a first channel and a second channel substantially transverse to and crosses the first channel. The first channel is for conveying a moldable liquid through the nozzle. The nozzle further comprising a rod including a groove around a circumference of the rod. The rod is reciprocable within the second channel between a first position with the groove positioned outside of the first channel preventing the moldable liquid from flowing through the nozzle and a second position with the groove in the first channel permitting the moldable liquid to flow through the nozzle via the groove.

Abstract: A medical condition management system includes at least one server including at least one database including a patient record, and at least one processor coupled to the at least one database, a patient device in operable communication with the at least one server, the patient device including a patient application, the patient device operable by a patient user, and a medical professional device in operable communication with the at least one server, the medical professional device including a medical professional application, the medical professional device operable by a medical professional user. The processor is configured to perform a comparison of provided biometric information with provided recommendation information and to determine whether a notification is necessary based on the comparison and the server is configured to send the notification to at least one of the patient device and the medical professional device if the processor determines that the notification is necessary.

Abstract: A method and a device for imitating an artificial geyser that are simple and inexpensive in realization. The artificial geyser device comprises a sealed container located preferably underground in a shallow recess and filled with water. The container is provided with a heater for heating water to the level of boiling and with a common discharge pipe, one end of which is located in the container and can be adjusted with regard to the level of water while the opposite end extends to the atmosphere in the form of an eruption pipe with a supersonic nozzle on the output end. The common discharge pipe passes over the open ends of the U-shaped pipe arrangement. The device has a group of valves that selectively may change the direction of the eruption flow for passing to the atmosphere only through the common discharge pipe, only through the U-shaped arrangement, or through both simultaneously.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods of sealing of pipeline joints operating with cryogenic liquids. The method is realized with the use of a tape of a porous structuring material that may be dry or impregnated with a liquid having a freezing point above the temperature of a cryogenic fluid in the pipeline. The material of the tape and the impregnating liquid are inert to the cryogenic fluid and to the environment. The method consists in that prior to filling the pipeline with the cryogenic fluid, the tape is tightly wrapped around the joint or an area that is at risk of a damage or puncture, the wrapping is then wetted by pouring on it the same liquid that was used for impregnation, and then the cryogenic fluid is fed to the pipeline for freezing the liquid that is contained in the tape for forming a tight frozen seal around the joint.

Abstract: A device and method for inducing turbulence in the flow of a fluid in the course of a continuous flow process are disclosed. The device comprising a series of chambers extending along an axis. Each chamber is defined by (1) a cylindrical conduit that extends along the axis and between opposite ends and has a constant internal diameter along the axis; (2) a frusto-conical diffuser that has an internal diameter increasing along the axis from a reduced internal diameter at an inlet of the diffuser to an internal diameter substantially equal to that conduit at an outlet of the diffuser; and (3) a frusto-conical confuser that has an internal diameter decreasing along the axis from an internal diameter substantially equal to that of the conduit at an inlet of the confuser to a reduced diameter at an outlet of the confuser. The conduit, diffuser and confuser of each chamber are arranged coaxially and the cylindrical conduit extends from the outlet of the diffuser to the inlet of the confuser.
