Abstract: This medical container includes a tubular barrel defining a reservoir for a medical product and a longitudinal distal tip defining a fluid path in communication with the reservoir in order to allow the medical product to be expelled from the medical container. The distal tip and the barrel are made of glass and the distal tip is provided with a thread, the thread being configured to connect the distal tip to a connecting element having a complementarily shaped internal thread.

Abstract: A photodetector especially useful for infrared detection. The photodetector includes a two-dimensional arrangement of resonator-photodiode units disposed along a detector surface for detecting radiation incident from above the detector surface and having a target frequency (vt) that corresponds to a target wavelength (?t) in vacuum, wherein each resonator-photodiode unit has a photodiode semiconductor structure, which is sensitive to the target frequency (vt), and a subwavelength dielectric resonator.
