  • Over-molded fluid interconnect
    Patent number: 8066358
    Abstract: A fluid interconnect for a fluid enclosure includes an overmolded sealing surface of a thermoplastic elastomeric material, the sealing surface having an opening, the sealing surface overmolded upon a thermoplastic surface of a fluid enclosure; and a wall of the thermoplastic elastomeric material connected to the sealing surface, the wall enclosing a pathway, the pathway communicating with the opening at a first end; and a layer connected to the wall, the layer closing the pathway at a second end.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 30, 2007
    Date of Patent: November 29, 2011
    Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.

  • Low tack elastomer composition, part and methods
    Publication number: 20070225425
    Abstract: An elastomer composition that includes a mixture of at least 50 parts per hundred rubber (phr) of a saturated elastomer and less than 50 parts per hundred rubber of an unsaturated elastomer. The mixture is halogenated after vulcanization producing an elastomer material having a tack at least 60 percent lower than a saturated tack of a composition having the saturated elastomer mixed with between about 40 phr and about 50 phr of the unsaturated elastomer, wherein the composition is vulcanized but not post vulcanization halogenated.
