A liquid ejection apparatus includes a liquid ejection head including a nozzle forming face in which a plurality of nozzles through which liquid is ejected toward a droplet landing object are formed, and a protruding face protruding toward the droplet landing objet and disposed so as to surround the nozzle forming face, and a cap body including a bottom plate and a wall extending upwardly from the bottom plate and configured to seal the nozzle forming face within a sealing space formed by bringing a top portion of the wall into contact with the protruding face. Further, at minimum, a portion included in the wall and being brought into contact with the protruding portion is an elastic member including liquid repellency.

A method for introducing an active compound into a soft hydrated contact lens comprising the steps of: providing a hypotonic aqueous solution having an osmolarity value less than 150 mOsm and an effective quantity of that active compound, immersing the soft contact lens in the aqueous hypotonic solution, subjecting the contact lens immersed in the aqueous hypotonic solution to mechanical vibrations having a power greater than 100 mW for a predetermined time.

An irrigation drip emitter, and methods relating to same, are provided for delivering irrigation water from a supply tube to an emitter outlet at a reduced and relatively constant flow rate. The emitter having at least one movable member for compensating for fluctuations in supply line fluid pressure. In one form the movable member includes a tapered baffle section movable between a first position wherein fluid is allowed to flow over the tapered baffle section and a second position wherein fluid is prevented from flowing over at least a portion of the tapered baffle section and the tapered baffle section effectively lengthening the extent of a pressure reduction passage. In another form, first and second movable members are provided for compensating for such pressure fluctuations. In another form, a plurality of inputs are provided which are movable between first and second positions to compensate for such pressure fluctuations.

A gear case seal is provided for use with a traction motor. The seal may have an arcuate body with an outer annular layer forming a centrally located channel extending along its length, and an inner annular layer bonded to the outer annular layer along opposing axial edges so as to close off the centrally located channel. The body may also have a middle layer disposed within the centrally located channel and made from a material different than a material of the inner and outer layers.

A window for a display device, the window including a polymeric substrate, a polymeric layer disposed on a side of the polymeric substrate, and a binder layer interposed between the polymeric substrate and the polymer layer, wherein the binder layer includes a binder and a blue colorant.

A stimulation or recording electrode with varying impedances includes a plurality of layers that are compressed together with varying compressions forces, with at least a first compression force used at the perimeter of the electrode and a second compression force used towards the center of the electrode, with the first force being lesser than the second force, thereby creating a greater measured impedance at the perimeter of the electrode than at the center of the electrode.

A catheter including a tubular catheter body defining a distal portion, a distal end and a lumen that extends to the distal end, a radiopaque marker carried within the lumen, and a non-metal tip that is bonded to distal end of the catheter body.

The present disclosure is directed to a method for potting an electrical module. In one embodiment, the method includes placing the electrical component in a potting mold, wherein the potting mold comprises an interior topology that matches a topology of one or more components of the electrical module, filling the potting mold with a potting compound and curing the potting compound over the electrical module.

Provided is a method of manufacturing a heat conductive sheet with improved adhesion and heat conductivity. The method includes the steps of molding a heat conductive resin composition, which includes heat conductive fillers and a binder resin, into a predetermined shape and curing the heat conductive resin composition to obtain a molded product of the heat conductive resin composition, cutting the molded product into sheets to obtain a molded product sheet, and pressing the molded product sheet.

In a method for connecting two silicone tube sections (1, 2), end face portions (1a, 2a) of the silicone tube sections (1, 2) to be connected that face each other are positioned in an overmolding mold (13) in such a way that the end face portions (1a, 2a) facing each other abut each other. The end face regions (1a, 2a) abutting each other are overmolded in the overmolding mold (13) by filling an overmolding cavity (14) of the overmolding mold (13) with flowable silicone (15). The flowable silicone (15) is cured. This connection method can be used in a pharmaceutical media transfer method for supplying a pharmaceutical medium (5) from a source reservoir (3) to a target reservoir (4). This media transfer method involves displacing (9) the pharmaceutical medium (5) in a silicone supply tube section of a silicone supply tube (6) as well as cutting (10) the silicone supply tube section for creating a sterile end face portion (1a) as well as cutting a silicone discharge tube section for creating a sterile end face portion (2a). After performing the connection method, the pharmaceutical medium (5) is transferred from the source reservoir (3) to the target reservoir (4) via the connected tube sections (1, 2). For carrying out the method, a device (22) with an exchangeable blade (11), an overmolding mold (13) and a positioning device (11a) are used. The connection method can be carried out in a reliable, reproducible and automated manner with reasonable effort.
