Abstract: Automatic injection devices (i.e., auto-injectors) and methods are disclosed that use gas-generating chemical reactions for parenteral delivery of therapeutic fluids. The generated gas may place the auto-injector in a punctured configuration to puncture a patient's skin with a needle, an injected configuration to deliver the therapeutic fluid through the needle and into the puncture site, and/or a retracted configuration to withdraw the needle from the puncture site.

Abstract: A cannabis-based therapeutic product for treatment of sleep disorders produced (a) harvesting flowers and leaves from a plurality of cannabis plants from a plurality of cannabis strains each expressing a different active cannabis compound profile; (b) individually extracting cannabis oil from the harvested flowers and leaves of each of the cannabis strains; (c) concentrating the extracted cannabis oils by at least evaporating extraneous material; and (d) combining specific amounts of the concentrated oils from one or more cannabis strains to produce a mixture possessing a specific active cannabis compound profile.

Abstract: A multi-component inverter rack formed from sheet metal is disclosed. Some of the sheet metal derived parts used to form the multi-component inverter rack can be interchangeable. The multi-component inverter rack can include attachment points for an inverter, a load center and other supporting electrical components.

Abstract: The invention proposes a dispenser of paper, or other equivalent product, including a housing storing the product in the form of folded sheets to be dispensed through a dispensing opening. The paper is contained in a detachable cartridge compatible with the paper dimensions and assembled to the dispenser inside the housing. The cartridge includes an end wall situated opposite an opening of the housing wherein is located a dispensing slot of which the shape matches the paper sheets to be dispensed. The cartridge includes walls which guide the stack of folded sheets.

Abstract: The invention proposes a dispenser for a web wound into a coreless roll, the roll (11) being mounted on an irrotational, substantially cylindrical support spindle (14), the web in this dispenser being dispensed by rotationally unwinding the roll (11) around the axis (A1) of the support spindle (14), characterized in that the support spindle (14) includes means (46, 48, 50, 52) axially locking the roll (11) and in that the spindle (14) bears means (36, 50, 52) for decelerating the roll (11) being unwound.

Abstract: A food processor has a handle (4) connected to a gear assembly (G1, G2, G3, G4) by which different rotary tools (B) connected to the end (10) of a central shaft (8) in the processor may be rotated (FIG. 3). Different sets of the gears are engaged according to the speed with which the selected tool is to be rotated.

Abstract: A dispenser of a web wound into a roll includes a support rod and at least one substantially vertical wall, the support rod being inclined relative to a horizontal direction. The roll includes a central borehole which allows mounting of the roll on the support rod of the dispenser. The roll rests by one transverse end surface of the roll against the at least one substantially vertical wall of the dispenser.

Abstract: Continuous vapor deposition apparatus for coating objects with a coating material, e.g., parylene, are disclosed. The apparatus comprise an entrance chamber for loading the objects, a process chamber for coating the objects, and an exit chamber for removing the objects. Coating material is introduced into the process chamber under vacuum conditions in a vaporized state. The pressure in the process chamber can be controlled by modulating the rate of introduction of the coating material with a modulating valve in response to the pressure in the process chamber. A process for continuously coating objects by vapor deposition under vacuum conditions, suitable for use in the apparatus, is also disclosed.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for selectively coating the surfaces of objects are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a plurality of megasonic transducers which generate acoustical pressure waves in the megasonic frequency range in an upward direction and cause droplets of coating material to be expelled from a supply of the liquid coating material which is disposed above the transducers. The droplets travel in a generally upward direction toward the surface of the object to be coated which is held in an inverted, i.e., downward position.
