  • Patent number: 12496757
    Abstract: An injection mold comprising a first mold half and a second mold half which during operation are displaceable with respect to each other in a first direction between an open position and a closed position in which the first mold half and the second mold half interact with each other. The first mold half comprises a cavity plate with a front face with a recess in which at least one cavity block comprising at least one first cavity half is arranged forming in a closed position of the injection mold with a corresponding second cavity half arranged at the second mold half a cavity suitable to receive plasticized plastic material to form a part therefrom. At least one cable interconnects the at least one cavity block in a mounted position with a connection box.

  • Patent number: 12409591
    Abstract: An injection mold for the manufacturing of at least one tubular plastic part, including a first mold half including a first mold plate and a second mold half including a second mold plate arranged displaceable with respect to each other in an axial direction (Z) between an open and a closed position. The injection mold includes at least one core protruding from the first mold plate and the second mold plate including at least one cavity suitable to receive the core to form a molding cavity in the closed position of the injection mold for receiving molten plastic material therein to form the tubular plastic part. A bushing is arranged in the second mold half adjacent to a dorsal end of the cavity at least partially displaceable with respect to the second mold plate, the bushing including a bore in the closed position suitable to receive a tip of the core.

  • Publication number: 20250030733
    Abstract: Tightly coupling cyber deception with software applications is promising in the lab but poses significant technical challenges in production systems. Because security measures are usually the responsibility of a system operator, access is typically limited to built software artifacts rather than their source code. This limitation makes it particularly challenging to deploy cyber deception techniques at application runtime and without full control over the software development lifecycle.

  • Publication number: 20240017021
    Abstract: An adapter for connecting a needle to a syringe barrel including a Luer Lock connector having a thread and a cone. The adapter includes: a first part configured to support the needle; a second part including a counter thread configured to form a screwing connection with the thread of the Luer Lock connector; and at least one deformable locking element arranged within a region of the counter thread and protruding radially beyond a minor outer diameter of the counter thread, such that the at least one deformable locking element is configured to be deformed by the thread of the Luer Lock connector when the adapter is screwed to the syringe barrel.

  • Patent number: 8733229
    Abstract: A device for producing a beverage from a capsule, comprising a motor-driven extraction module which comprises a first jaw member and a cooperating second jaw member, wherein in an opened state of the extraction module the jaw members are distanced from each other while in the closed state the jaw members tightly enclose a capsule space, a motor for controlling the transfer of the extraction module between the closed and opened state, and a knee lever arrangement, being functionally connected to the motor and to at least one of the jaw members and being designed to convert the motor drive action into a closure force, i.e. a force with which the first and second jaw member are approaching each other, which is increasing during the course of the closure movement.
