Abstract: A device for delivering a sealant material includes a first nozzle having a first nozzle head and a second nozzle having a second nozzle head. The first and second nozzle heads each independently have an outlet, an inlet opposite the outlet, and an open channel that extends through a body of the nozzle heads from the inlet to the outlet. The first nozzle is spaced apart from the second nozzle to form a space between the nozzle heads to allow a component to enter a first side of the device and exit a second side of the device while passing by the first and second nozzle heads. A notch is formed through the body of each of the first and second nozzle heads at a side where the component exits the device to distribute a sealant material onto each side of the component.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and processes are disclosed herein relating to the collection, transmission, and/or use of physiological condition information (e.g., blood glucose information) for a remote healthcare determination. One embodiment includes a physiological condition information system. This system embodiment includes a physiological condition management device and a remote server. The physiological condition management device can be at a first location (e.g., accompanying a patient at the first location) and the remote server can be at a second location that is different from the first location. The physiological condition management device and remote server can be in data communication over a transmission link. The physiological condition management device is configured to collect physiological condition information associated with the patient and send this information over the transmission link to the remote server.

Abstract: A glass-based assembly includes a glass or glass-ceramic substrate comprising a surface. The surface has flaws, such as a population of small cracks extending into the surface, whereby the substrate is weakened relative to ideal strength thereof. The assembly further includes a coating coupled to the substrate and overlaying at least some of the flaws. Ultimate strength of the substrate with the coating coupled thereto is greater than that of the substrate alone, without the coating.

Abstract: A door lock assembly includes a door lock that is installed in a door of a building. The door lock includes a pair of door knobs and a latch bolt. The latch bolt engages a recess in a doorjamb when the door is closed for retaining the door in a closed position. Conversely, the latch bolt disengages the recess in the doorjamb when either of the door knobs is rotated thereby facilitating the door to be opened. A pin is extendable though the latch bolt of the door lock when the door is closed such that the pin abuts the door. In this way the latch bolt is inhibited from being urged into an unlocking position thereby inhibiting an intruder from defeating the door lock and opening the door.
