Described here are embodiments of processes and systems for the continuous manufacturing of implantable continuous analyte sensors. In some embodiments, a method is provided for sequentially advancing an elongated conductive body through a plurality of stations, each configured to treat the elongated conductive body. In some of these embodiments, one or more of the stations is configured to coat the elongated conductive body using a meniscus coating process, whereby a solution formed of a polymer and a solvent is prepared, the solution is continuously circulated to provide a meniscus on a top portion of a vessel holding the solution, and the elongated conductive body is advanced through the meniscus. The method may also comprise the step of removing excess coating material from the elongated conductive body by advancing the elongated conductive body through a die orifice. For example, a provided elongated conductive body 510 is advanced through a pre-coating treatment station 520, through a coating station 530, through a thickness control station 540, through a drying or curing station 550, through a thickness measurement station 560, and through a post-coating treatment station 570.

The present invention relates to an applicator device for applying cleaning, sanitizing and/or disinfecting liquid or gel across an external surface of an elongate, three-dimensional object or cover therefor.

Provided is a manufacturing method for an optical fiber tape core wire (10) including: coating a plurality of optical fibers (20) with a resin in an uncured state; removing, by a removal part (120), the resin in the uncured state partially; and curing the remaining resin in the uncured state. The removal part (120) includes a rotary blade (121), a slit (126), positioning part (122), and a suction part (123). In the removing of the resin, the resin in the uncured state between the optical fibers (20) is extruded to the outlet opening (126a) while moving the optical fibers (20) from upstream to downstream, and the resin in the uncured state extruded through the outlet opening (126a) is suctioned by the suction part (123).

To improve distribution of adhesive and gas. A nozzle (1) includes a pattern shim (13) having a plurality of first slits (23) and a plurality of second slits (24), an adhesive shim (12) having a plurality of first holes (33), a gas shim (14), a head body (11) having an adhesive outlet (52) and an adhesive distribution groove (51) communicating with the adhesive outlet, and a face plate (15). Adhesive ejection ports are formed at openings of the plurality of first slits, and gas discharge ports are formed at openings of a plurality of second slits in such a manner that the gas discharge ports are located on both sides of each of the adhesive ejection ports. The plurality of first holes (33) communicate with the adhesive distribution groove (51). The plurality of first holes (33) are formed in such a manner that distances of the first holes (33) from the corresponding discharge ejection ports (6) become shorter as distances of the corresponding first holes from the adhesive outlet (52) become longer.
