Publication number: 20230301874Abstract: A device and method for fluidly connecting a drug container with a solution container in a closed state, and for combining contents of the drug container and the solution container in an activated state. The device has a connector body with a first coupling and first fluid passage that connect with the drug container. The connector body also has a second coupling and second fluid passage that connect with the solution container. A control valve has a movable valve body that defines a third fluid passage. The valve body is positionable relative to the connector body in a first position that blocks fluid communication between the first fluid passage and second fluid passage. The valve body is also positionable in a second position that permits fluid communication between the first fluid passage and second fluid passage.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Nick Panick, Bruce Brunetti, Michael Janders, Alan Wentzell

Patent number: 11660252Abstract: A connector is configured to connect a drug container with a solution container and permit contents of the drug container to be combined with the solution container. The connector has a connector body with a first coupling for fluid connection with the drug container. The first coupling defines a first fluid passage. The connector body also has a second coupling for fluid connection with the solution container. The second coupling defines a second fluid passage. A control valve has a movable valve body that defines a third fluid passage. The valve body is positionable relative to the connector body in a first position, in which the first fluid passage is sealed from the second fluid passage. The valve body is also positionable in a second position, in which the first fluid passage is connected in fluid communication with the second fluid passage by the third fluid passage.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2022Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: B. Braun Medical Inc.Inventors: Nick Panick, Bruce Brunetti, Michael Janders, Alan Wentzell

Publication number: 20080075942Abstract: A composite part made from a sheet molding compound is disclosed as having improved characteristics over traditional sheet molding compound composite parts. The fibrous material is introduced as a veil layer adjacent a paste layer, the veil flows well during the molding process. The improved flow and surface characteristics of a composite part are attributed to the elongation of the veil during molding and to the improved filling capabilities.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2007Publication date: March 27, 2008Inventors: Jacques Gerard, David Adam, Frank Cichocki, Michael Jander, Paul Krumlauf, Giovanni Montagna, Donald Sage

Publication number: 20070260195Abstract: Needleless access port valves are generally discussed herein with particular discussions extended to needleless access port valves having a stretchable or flexible band. In accordance with aspects of the present invention, the band is held in between a flange section of an inlet connector assembly and a shoulder section of the valve body. A plunger integrally formed with the band is movable inside a nozzle to control fluid flow through the inlet of the valve. When the plunger is urged by a medical implement to open the valve inlet, the band flexes to accommodate the moving plunger.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2006Publication date: November 8, 2007Inventors: Joel Bartholomew, Peter Peppel, Michael Janders

Publication number: 20070191786Abstract: Needleless access port valves are generally discussed herein with particular discussions extended to needleless access port valves incorporating a piston comprising slit along an upper piston section for accommodating fluid flow. The slit is closed by the relative geometry of the piston and the valve housing, which acts to terminate fluid flow from between the inlet and outlet of the valve assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2006Publication date: August 16, 2007Inventors: Kenneth Raines, Michael Janders, Peter Peppel, Benjamin Pascal

Patent number: 7138023Abstract: A process for forming thermoplastic composites that uses wet use chopped strand glass is provided. Wet reinforcement fibers such as wet chopped strand glass fibers are opened by passing the fibers consecutively through a first opener, a condenser, and, optionally, a second opener. The opened reinforcement fibers are mixed with a resin and transferred to a first sheet former. The resin is preferably polypropylene fibers. An optional second sheet former may be used to form a final composite having high structural integrity. The resulting sheet may be optionally passed through a needle felting machine for mechanical strengthening. The sheet is then passed through a thermal bonder to thermally bond the reinforcement glass fibers and resin. The composite product that exits the thermal bonder can be subsequently used as a reinforcement in a molding process to produce composite articles.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2003Date of Patent: November 21, 2006Assignees: Owens-Corning Fiberglas Technology, Inc., Owens Corning Composites S.P.R.L.Inventors: Enamul Haque, Michael Jander

Publication number: 20060219346Abstract: A composite part made from a sheet molding compound is disclosed as having improved characteristics over traditional sheet molding compound composite parts. The composite part may be made from a unique sheet molding compound material having a resin impregnated filamentized fiber layer and a resin impregnated fiber layer prior to compaction. The resin impregnated filamentized fiber layer side prevents the movement of partially filamentized or unfilamentized fibers to the visible surface of the composite part when the part is molded. The resin impregnated filamentized fiber layer may be contain a conductive filamentized fiber such that the surface of a sheet molding compound may be conductive and be capable of being electrostatically sprayed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2006Publication date: October 5, 2006Inventor: Michael Jander

Publication number: 20050067044Abstract: A method for filling a muffler shell with a fibrous material includes providing an outer muffler shell, applying a temporary form to the outer shell to define a muffler chamber within the outer muffler shell, and wetting the fibrous material by forcing moisturized compressed air into contact with the fibrous material. The wetted fibrous material is inserted into the muffler chamber, and the temporary form is removed from the outer muffler shell.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2003Publication date: March 31, 2005Inventor: Michael Jander
