Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a coating module including: a coating stage and a plurality of vertical guides configured to perpendicularly extend from the coating stage; a vertical movement mechanism configured to lower a framed panel along the plurality of vertical guides onto the coating stage; an optical alignment tool configured to provide feedback on a lateral alignment between an edge of the coating stage and the framed panel; and a dispensing unit configured to coat a surface of the panel.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for in-situ three-dimensional (3D) thin-film capacitor (TFC) are provided. A 3D TFC can include a glass core, a through glass via (TGV) in the glass core including first conductive material, the first conductive material forming a first electrode of the 3D MIM capacitor, a second conductive material acting as a second electrode of the 3D MIM capacitor, and a dielectric material in contact with the first and second conductive materials, the dielectric material extending vertically and horizontally and physically separating the first and second conductive materials.

Abstract: A method of packaging a surgical implant is provided. The method includes receiving a portion of the surgical implant or a component coupled to the surgical implant at least partially within a recess of an implant holder. The recess includes a plurality of lobe shapes adapted to engage the implant or component. The recess only receives a top portion of the surgical implant or component couple to the surgical implant. The holder is inserted into a container. The holder has a first configuration in which the mouth of the recess is arranged to partially surround a portion of an implant or a component coupled to an implant. When the holder is at least partially received in the container, the recess grips the implant in a position spaced apart from the container. The holder also has a second configuration in which the mouth of the recess opens to release the implant.

Abstract: A package and method of packaging a surgical implant or surgical instrument are described. The package comprises a container and a holder having a recess arranged to receive a portion of a surgical implant or instrument, or a component coupled to the surgical implant or instrument. The holder is arranged to be at least partially received within the container. The holder has a first configuration in which the mouth of the recess is arranged to partially surround a portion of an implant or instrument, or a component coupled to the surgical implant or instrument, such that the recess grips the implant or instrument in position spaced apart from the container when the holder is at least partially received in the container. The holder also has a second configuration in which the mouth of the recess opens to release the implant or instrument.

Abstract: An instrument (2) for use in manipulating an implant component, which has a face with two spaced apart edges, comprises a housing (4) and first and second arms (72,74) each having a finger (76,78) which can engage the implant component at respective edges of the face, the arms being mounted for sliding movement relative to the housing in which the fingers on the arms move along a common axis. A gear mechanism (70,124), by which the first and second arms are linked to one another, ensures that sliding movement of the first arm in a first direction relative to the housing is accompanied by equal sliding movement of the second arm in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction. A shaft (122) is mounted in the housing so that it can slide along a shaft axis which is perpendicular to the axis along which the fingers slide, the shaft has a bed (46) at its end for engaging the face of the implant component.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing a convenient and unobtrusive means for carrying necessary emergency medication. The apparatus comprises a substantially hollow container member having an opening on at least one end thereof, such container member for holding such emergency medication. There is at least one closure member for closing the opening on at least one end of the substantially hollow container member so that such emergency medication disposed within such container member will not fall out. A clip member is disposed on one of an outer surface of the container member and the closure member for securing such apparatus to a shirt pocket.
