Abstract: The present invention relates to a drum stencil printing system for reliably and automatically printing materials on the inside of a concave surface. The drum stencil printing system includes a pliable drum stencil secured in place by a stencil spring. As the printhead applies radial pressure to the drum stencil, the portion of the stencil in contact with the printhead is deflected to make contact with the container sidewall. When the printhead rotates, the portion of the stencil contacting the container sidewall also rotates to match the nozzle of the printhead. After printing is complete, the printhead retracts, and the pliable stencil is returned to its undeflected position, breaking contact between the stencil and the container, and protecting the printed material from being rubbed or worn off of the container.

Abstract: An instrument is described for minimizing pain during administration by injection of a liquid, such as, an anesthetic. The instrument includes a main body having a rod mounted freely for vibration and a single use tip removably mounted on the forward end of the main body by a first type of motion and removable by a second and different type of motion. The tip is held on the instrument by an elastic overmold. A vibration unit imparts vibrations to the tip. Demounting of the single use tip will rupture the overmold and render the single use unfit for further use. A method of operating the instrument is described and a single use tip is described.

Abstract: What is described herein is a mixing device having a plurality of chambers and at least one transferor for mixing components of a tissue sealant.

Abstract: Disclosed is a substrate holder and method of holding a substrate for a spinner apparatus wherein the holder has a first pair of diagonally positioned locking members under which the substrate is locked during acceleration of the rotating holder and a second pair of diagonally positioned locking members under which the substrate is locked during deceleration of the holder.
