Abstract: The present disclosure provides a dual layer heat shrink tube having: an inner polymeric layer and an outer polymeric layer. The disclosure further provides associated methods for preparing and using such tubes, as well as to products comprising such tubes.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a dual layer heat shrink tube having: an inner polymeric layer with a thickness t1 and an outer diameter D1; and an outer, expanded polymeric layer with a thickness t2? and an outer diameter D2? obtained by expanding a polymer tube from D2 to D2? and t2 to t2? at a selected temperature so that D2?-2 (t2?)>D1, wherein a ring cut from a cross-section of the dual layer heat shrink tube, slit into a rectangle and gripped at cut ends by tension grips within a DMA, and subjected to a temperature sweep of 3° C./min at a frequency of 1 Hz from the onset of a melting endotherm of the inner polymeric layer to that of the outer, expanded polymeric layer is greater than 1° C. and less than 12° C. The disclosure further provides associated methods for preparing and using such tubes, as well as to products comprising such tubes.

The non-crosslinked PEBA heat shrink tubing disclosed herein finds application, e.g., as a processing aid and final component in the manufacture of catheters and other medical devices. When utilized as an outer jacket of a laser-cut hypotube, the non-crosslinked PEBA heat shrink tubing can advantageously not considerably infiltrate the kerfs of the underlying laser-cut hypotube.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for maintaining the anonymity of survey respondents while providing useful data to an analyst. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems utilize various anonymity protections based on various anonymity thresholds. For example, the presently disclosed systems and methods may disallow or modify potentially identifying data filters, including generating alternate data groupings. Further, the systems and methods may modify text responses to reduce identification risk.
