  • Publication number: 20220305210
    Abstract: A cap device for a liquid delivery device operates to detect a position of the liquid delivery device relative to the cap device as the liquid delivery device is inserted to the cap device and rotated relative to the cap device. The cap device includes one or more sensors configured to detect a position of the liquid delivery device relative to the cap device. The position of the liquid delivery device can be used to determine whether the liquid delivery device is inserted and arranged in an appropriate axial and/or radial position relative to the cap device so that the cap device can accurately detect a condition of the liquid delivery device.

  • Patent number: 11335551
    Abstract: The present method comprises providing a flexible web substrate (e.g., polymeric flexible web substrates) that forms at least part of a component of a device, coating so as to wet-out on and cover all or a substantial portion of a major surface on one side or both sides of the flexible web substrate with flowable polymeric material, while the flexible web substrate is moving in a down-web direction, and solidifying the polymeric material so as to form one cleaning layer on the major surface of one side or both sides of the flexible web substrate. The present invention can be utilized in a continuous in-line manufacturing process. In applications of the present invention where the flexible web substrate will not form a component of a device, the present invention broadly provides a method for cleaning particles from a flexible web of indefinite length.
