Gasket (13) has a circumferential surface portion (17) for contact with an inner peripheral surface of a syringe barrel (11) and an annular groove (22) formed circumferentially in a surface portion of the film in the circumferential surface portion thereof. Annular groove (22) has outer edge portions (24) provided along opposite edges (23) thereof as projecting from an unprocessed surface portion of the film. Annular groove (22) has a groove formation start point and a groove formation end point connected to each other in a groove connection region. Outer edge portions (24) provided along the opposite edges of the annular groove have a maximum-to-minimum height difference of μm in the groove connection region.

A sheet manufacturing apparatus includes a defibrating unit configured to defibrate in an atmosphere a raw material that contains a fiber, a mixing unit configured to mix in the atmosphere a defibrated material that the defibrating unit has defibrated and a resin, an accumulating unit configured to accumulate a mixture of the defibrated material and the resin that the mixing unit has mixed, a liquid application unit configured to apply a liquid to a portion of an accumulation of the mixture that the accumulating unit has accumulated, and a heating unit configured to form a sheet by heating the accumulation to which the liquid application unit has applied the liquid.

A lamination molding apparatus, including a chamber covering a molding region; a powder layer forming apparatus to form a material powder layer by discharging the material powder onto the molding region and planarizing the material powder on the molding region; a laser beam emitter to emit a laser beam for sintering the material powder to form a sintered body; a cutting machine to cut the sintered body; a horizontal drive device to move both the cutting machine and the powder layer forming apparatus in a horizontal direction parallel to the molding region; a first vertical drive device to reciprocate the cutting machine in a vertical direction orthogonal to the horizontal direction; and a second vertical drive device to reciprocate the powder layer forming apparatus in the vertical direction, is provided.

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a tissue integration device. The tissue integration device can be produced by forming a polymer mixture into a shape. The polymer mixture can include a polymer resin and a growth-promoting medium. Next, at least one polymer forming the polymer resin can be oriented in at least one direction. The shaped polymeric material can then be formed into the tissue integration device.

A hybrid dental tool is disclosed herein. The hybrid dental tool includes a flosser having a flossing head. The flossing head can include a filament stretching between the first arm and a second arm. The flossing head can include a pick receptacle. The hybrid dental tool can further include a pick that has a first end and a second end. The pick can be sized and shaped to fit within the pick receptacle such that the first and second ends are protected. The pick can releasably connect with the flossing head to allow the separation of the pick from the flossing head.

A transverse cutting system for a machine for the production of plastic film includes a supporting structure carrying a cutting unit, which are moved between a rest position away from a path of a plastic film being wound and an operating position along the path of the plastic film; a rotating support carrying a hot wire; a rotating cap, associated to an idle roller and arranged transversally to the path of the plastic film that is moving forwards, and an actuator, which controls the rotation of the rotating support carrying the rotating cap and causes the rotating cap to interfere with the plastic film before the hot wire also interferes with said plastic film. The same plastic film, owing to the friction force generated by the rotating cap, entrains it with it, causing the rotating cap to equalize the linear velocity of the plastic film.

Provided is a laminate film that exhibits an excellent appearance, chemical resistance, and weather resistance, and suppresses yellowing even after long-term heating. The laminate film is formed from a surface layer including a vinylidene fluoride resin (F) and an acrylic resin composition (Y) layer, the acrylic resin composition (Y) containing a hindered amine light stabilizer having a molecular weight of 1400 or more. Further provided is a molded laminate including a base material and the laminate film laminated to the base material. Further provided is a method for producing a molded laminate including a step for producing a preform body by vacuum forming or pressure forming the laminate film in a first die, and a step for integrating the preform body and the base material by injection molding the resin that is to be the base material in a second die.

A bioresorbable, implantable device having controlled drug delivery is disclosed herein. The bioresorbable, implantable device is configured as a film, a roll, a tube, and a stent. The bioresorbable, implantable device is configured to release an active ingredient (the “drug”) from the bioresorbable, implantable device when the bioresorbable, implantable device is implanted within a body. The bioresorbable, implantable device is configured to control the onset of the release of the drug, the sequence of drug delivery, and the duration of drug delivery by embedding the drug within at least one therapeutic layer positioned within bioresorbable, implantable device.

An irrigation implement may include a member having a first end a second end. The first end may be open and the second end may include a pinched seal. The member may further define an opening disposed toward the second end, and be configured to enable an irrigation tube to be attached to the opening such that the opening is sealed by the irrigation tube. A process may use a pinching and heating process to self-seal the irrigation implement on one end in producing the irrigation implement.

A radome for housing a radar system comprises a plurality of interconnected curved radome thermoplastic composite material panels, each curved radome thermoplastic composite material panel having a plurality of interconnecting edges, a foam core, an inner skin, an outer skin, and a plurality of three-dimensional fiber bundles tying the inner skin and the outer skin to each other through the foam core, inhibiting delamination. The radome includes a hydrophobic exterior surface that is self-cleaning and requires zero maintenance for 25 years.
