Abstract: Methods of reforming rib geometry of a stopper having a seal surface configured for engagement with an interior bore of a barrel of an injector device after formation of the rib include reforming a first edge of the rib.

Abstract: Methods for manufacturing an injector device including a barrel having a wall defining an inner surface and a stopper that is slidably received in the barrel, the stopper having an outer side engaged with the inner surface of the wall of the barrel. The methods may include modifying a stopper by directing energy through the wall of the barrel to the stopper.

Abstract: Methods for manufacturing injector devices, including positioning a stopper of the injector device in a tubular member such that an outer side of the stopper is engaged with an inner surface of the tubular member and modifying the outer side of a stopper by causing relative motion between the stopper and the tubular member, the relative motion including one or both of rotational motion and vibrational motion.

Abstract: A stopper for use in injector devices, where the stopper having an outer side configured for engagement with an interior bore of a barrel of the injector device. The stoppers may include an elastomer body, a multi-layer barrier coupled to the elastomer body, the multi-layer barrier having an inner surface oriented toward the elastomer body and an outer surface oriented away from the elastomer body, the multi-layer barrier including a first layer and a second layer, the first layer defining the inner surface and the second layer defining the outer surface, and the multi-layer barrier having at least one micro feature formed by the first layer, the at least one micro feature including one or both of a micro groove and/or a micro rib.

Abstract: A stopper for use in an injector device, the stopper having an outer side configured for engagement with an interior bore of an injector device barrel, includes an elastomer body and a barrier coupled to the elastomer body, the barrier having an inner surface oriented toward the elastomer body and an outer surface oriented away from the elastomer body, the barrier including a first layer of a first material and a second layer of a second material, the first layer being configured to be activatable by an energy source and the second layer configured to be less activatable by the energy source than the first layer.

Abstract: A catheter package and method of use which serve to straighten a curved catheter shaft. The straightening of the catheter shaft may be accomplished by passing the shaft through a pathway that bends the catheter in the opposite direction of the curvature imparted to the catheter shaft. The catheter shaft pathway may incorporate various shaped bumps, ridges, pins or rollers or other features which assist in straightening the shaft.

Abstract: Liquidproof seams are formed between laminates, most preferably those having a complex textile structure on the sealing side of the laminate, where at least a portion of the complex textile in the sealing region is removed, such as by skiving, to reduce the thickness in the seam, or sealing region, prior to the creation of a durably sealed liquidproof seam.

Abstract: A cleaning system for an air conditioner injects a biocide followed at regular intervals, which may be followed by a rinsing flush.

Abstract: A quad or dual differential pair cable for bi-directional high speed differential signal transmission has a first differential pair of conductors and a second differential pair of conductors. The conductors extend in substantially parallel relation to one another and are electrically insulated from each other by an insulating dielectric. The dielectric and the conductors are surrounded by a conductive metal shield. The dielectric insulates the conductors both from each other and from the shield and is sufficiently crush resistant to maintain the conductors in substantially parallel relation to one another over the length of the cable, The shield may be covered with an optional jacket. Each wire of a differential pair of wires are oriented 180 degrees apart from one another. The distance between any one of the conductors and the shield is equal to or greater than the distance between that conductor and a center axis of the cable.
