Abstract: A hypodermic interface assembly is disclosed. The hypodermic interface assembly includes a hub, a cannula, and a cannula carrier. The cannula carrier is non-removably-connected to the cannula. The cannula carrier is controllably separable from the hub.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a powered utility rail, and, in particular, a powered utility rail for installation on furniture to provide electrical connectivity for portable electronic devices.

Abstract: Internet, web-based platform that offers low cost advertising venue for companies and a convenient shopping venue for customers. The system includes storage capacity to store information on purchased and redeemed coupons, and includes logic to analyze the effectiveness of a marketing campaign based on statistical analysis of redeemed coupons relative to purchased coupons. One embodiment includes a system capable of automatically comparing and analyzing the customers' stored preferences with posted coupons, and automatically sending a listing of coupons that match the customer's preference by email, text message, or by any commercially available communication mode. Another embodiment includes a coupon sales revenue sharing function between the web site and the matched coupon company that credits both the web site's account and the company's account for each coupon sold, where the company's shared revenue portion can be limited.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an injection molding process that improves recovery limited productivity. The present invention advantageously applies pressurized fluid within the nozzle of an injection molding machine to improve the machine's productivity. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, an existing or new injection molding machine is outfitted with a pressurized fluid system at the nozzle between the plasticizer barrel and the melt manifold. The use of a specialized nozzle and isolation valve allows the pressurized fluid to displace material within the nozzle and runner, ensuring the proper pressure is applied to the plastic resin within the mold during pack and hold while the plasticizing screw can begin its recovery cycle. Finally, the pressurized fluid can be evacuated from the nozzle melt stream area either via the fluid entrance or a fluid pin.

Abstract: A method and system for transmitting tape cartridge information using a bi-axial tape cartridge antenna design. A contactless tape cartridge memory device is provided in which the memory device is accessible from multiple surfaces of the cartridge. A single flexible antenna surrounds the tape cartridge memory device. The antenna may be bent to fit within the corner of the tape cartridge, thus providing a parallel antenna surface to two locations on the cartridge, such as the front of the cartridge and the side or bottom of the cartridge. As a result, the memory device in the tape cartridge may be read when the cartridge is being inserted into the tape drive as well as while the cartridge is stored within the tape drive.

Abstract: An integrated decoupler for returning common mode current to a source located in a card cage, which in turn is located in a data processing equipment cabinet. The integrated decoupler comprises an electrically conductive cladding layer formed on a backplane of the card cage and electrically connected to the card cage and a decoupling connector mounted directly on the cladding layer. The decoupling connector has decoupling capacitors for shunting common mode current to the cladding layer.
