Abstract: The invention relates to an adapter which comprises a base having a container attachment portion on a first side and a needle hub attachment portion on a second side opposite the first side. The adapter includes a puncturing member extending along a first axis for entering a container inserted into the container attachment portion. The adapter includes a channel extending substantially along the first axis from the needle hub attachment portion, through the base and along the puncturing member to an axial outlet at, or adjacent, a tip of the puncturing member. The adapter is configured so that a needle comprising a shaft extending from a hub can be inserted into the adapter such that the hub engages the hub attachment portion and the shaft extends through the base and within the puncturing member.

Abstract: A mechanical arrangement comprises a housing (10) arranged to receive an elongate member (11) which is mounted within the housing for reciprocation, the elongate member having an extension (11a) projecting outside the housing to form an output member, wherein the elongate member is formed with a shaped aperture (18) which receives an electrically actuated blocking member (19) which controls the stroke of the elongate member as it is moved towards and away from the elongate member in a direction transverse to the direction of reciprocation.

Abstract: A polyester resin is disclosed containing graphite in sufficient quantities to reduce its infrared heat up time in the reheat-blow process. The amount of graphite added is from 0.1 to 15 ppm and the average particle size is from 0.1 to 20 microns. The polyester is useful to make bottle preforms for beverage containers. Methods of making the polyester resin are also disclosed using a masterbatch or liquid slurry addition technique.

Abstract: This invention is a composition, a kit to prepare the composition, cellular sheet made from the composition and thermoformed articles made from the sheet, in which the composition comprises polyethylene terephthalate, sufficient inert gas to give a sheet density of 0.4 to 1.25 gm/cc, a polytetrafluoroethylene nucleating agent and optionally a polyolefin additive and a heat stabilizer.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire and an innerliner for use in a pneumatic tire are provided by the invention. The innerliner comprises a multilayer structure including a barrier layer and an adhesive layer. The barrier is a blend of high chlorine content chlorinated polyethylene elastomer and low chlorine-content chlorinated polyethylene elastomer. The adhesive can include a nitrile rubber composition or an ultra high molecular weight elastomer.
