Abstract: The invention relates to a device for dispensing a fixed dose of fluid, the device comprising at least one barrel; at least one plunger at least partially enclosed within the barrel; a motion conversion mechanism for transferring actuated pressure force applied outside the barrel into movement of the at least one plunger in a dispensing direction, wherein the motion conversion mechanism comprises at least one rotating gear; and a releasing mechanism for disconnecting the plunger from the motion conversion mechanism, wherein at a released position the at least one plunger can move in a direction opposite to the dispensing direction, independent of a rotational movement of the at least one gear, and wherein the movement of the plunger in the opposite direction to the dispensing enables loading the fluid into the barrel.

Abstract: A process for making a framed electrode by injection molding. The process comprises placing a flat piece of electrode material on a shrinkage-free under mold frame and attaching it thereto in a manner which substantially prevents the piece and the frame from moving relative to each other, over molding the resultant assembly by injecting a molten resin into an over molding cavity which contains the assembly, and allowing the resin to solidify. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
