  • Patent number: 7303073
    Abstract: A package for transporting objects which are sterile or which are to be sterilized. The package has a box for accommodating objects, and a covering sheet made of a leak tight material which is fastened to the box so as to seal the box in a leak tight manner. The package has a layer of a material forming a screen which is at least partial with respect to a decontamination gas and/or able to absorb a decontamination gas. The layer is sized to be placed in the box along the covering sheet such that the layer lies above the objects. A plate or grill is provided with projections and is shaped, depending on the position of the package, to allow unrestricted diffusion of the sterilization gas over the objects, and to restrict or prevent diffusion of the decontamination gas over these same objects.

  • Patent number: 7115209
    Abstract: A method for surface marking a solid substrate (1), according to which, during an exposure sequence, said substrate is exposed to coherent monochromatic light (2) in order to strip said substrate over an indented surface (3), wherein the exposure conditions, including duration, are set in order to restrict said indented surface to simple abrasion designed for the bonding of a printing medium, and the exposure sequence is followed by a sequence of projecting in discrete form, during which particles (6) of said printing medium, the deposition of which subsequently defines a printed element (4), are projected in targeted fashion into the indented surface (3, 31).

  • Patent number: 7044125
    Abstract: A drug delivery system for administering preset doses of a substance such as a drug, vaccine or the like. The drug delivery system includes a holder and a pre-filled drug container such as a syringe which is retained in the holder. The drug container includes a barrel for containing the substance, a movable stopper situated within the barrel, and a blunt end having an opening through which the substance within the barrel can be expelled. The holder includes a distal portion and a proximal portion, each configured to accommodate the drug container, with the distal portion being able to be assembled to the proximal portion, which acts as a plunger rod during activation of the delivery system. A plurality of slots are provided on the holder that permit multiple equal doses of the substance to be administered to each nostril of the patient.
