A method for manufacturing a microfluidic device can include providing a base component to define a first portion of the microfluidic device. A cap component of the microfluidic device can be fabricated with a sealing lip extending a first distance from a first side of the cap component and a support portion extending a second distance, less than the first distance, from the first side of the cap component. The method can include positioning the cap component and the base component within a mold to bring the sealing lip of the cap component in contact with the base component. The base component, the support portion of the cap component, and the sealing lip of the cap component together can define a cavity. The method can include injecting a polymer material into the mold to cause the polymer material to fill the cavity.

The invention relates to a method for operating a facility for producing containers from blanks made of a plastic material, the facility having one or more units for thermally conditioning blanks; one or more units for forming containers from the thermally conditioned blanks; one or more units for transferring containers to a labelling or filling unit; and a control unit that controls at least the thermal conditioning unit(s), the forming unit(s), and the transfer unit(s) by imposing a set speed on each unit, proportionate to a production rate for the containers. The method includes detecting an incident, determining a reduction of the production rate generated by the incident, and applying the reduction to the set speed.

The present invention discloses a method of filling simulated muscles for a limb of an automobile crash test dummy, the simulated muscles are molded with foaming in the inner cavity of the mold; the method comprises: obtaining a filling volume of the inner cavity of the mold by using a liquid casting method, preparing an adhesive liquid film layer, preparing a filler and conducting demolding detection on the limb. Wherein step 3 is to inject the mixed filler into the inner cavity of the mold so as to be foamed in the mold to form foamed sponge, and stand until the foamed sponge is foamed to the exhaust port and does not overflow any more.

Methods of forming an article from a molten plastic composition comprising a polymer and a blowing agent. The methods include injecting the molten plastic composition into a mould, allowing the plastic composition to form a first solid skin adjacent to an in contact with a first cavity-forming surface of the mould and a second solid skin adjacent to and in contact with a second cavity-forming surface of the mould, and then opening the mould before the molten plastic composition between the first and second solid skins in at least one portion of the circumference of a region of the mould cavity defining an annular cross-section of the cavity has solidified.

The invention relates to a biopharmaceutical container comprising: a connector to be secured to a chamber connector; a bag serving as a receptacle, one part of which is secured to the connector; and a flexible tube tucked inside the bag, which tube can extend out from the bag through the connector. The biopharmaceutical container, wherein: the tube forms part of the bag, the tube is a neck of reduced size extending from the body of the bag, and the aforementioned part of the bag that is secured to the connector is a fold in the wall of the bag, said wall of the bag forming the body of the bag on one side of the fold and the tube on the other side of the fold.

A method for forming a vacuum insulated structure using a prepared core material includes preparing a powder insulation material defining a bulk density, pre-densifying the powder insulation material to form a pre-densified insulation base, crushing the pre-densified insulation base into granular core insulation to define a core density of the granular core insulation, disposing the granular core insulation having the core density into an insulating cavity defined within an insulating structure and expressing gas from the interior cavity of the insulating structure to further densify the granular core insulation to define a target density. The granular core insulation defines the target density disposed within the insulating structure defines the vacuum insulation structure, wherein the target density defines a density in the range of from approximately 80 grams per liter to approximately 350 grams per liter.
