Treatment of aneurysms can be improved by use of a treatment system including a conduit have a distal portion, a coupler slidably coupled to the distal portion, an occlusive member coupled to the coupler, and a securing member coupled to the conduit proximal to the coupler. The securing member can include a distal end portion that is removably coupled to the coupler. In some embodiments, the securing member can have a shape and/or be treated such that the securing member self-expands to decouple itself from the coupler during deployment of the occlusive member. In some embodiments, movement of the conduit relative to the coupler causes the securing member to decouple from the coupler.

Treatment of aneurysms can be improved by delivering an occlusive member (e.g., an expandable braid) to an aneurysm sac in conjunction with an embolic element (e.g., coils, embolic material). A treatment system for such treatment can include an electrolytically corrodible conduit having a proximal portion, a distal portion, and a detachment zone between the proximal portion and the distal portion. An occlusive member having a proximal hub is coupled to the conduit distal portion. The conduit has a lumen configured to pass an embolic element therethrough.

A gas flow can be provided together with a liquid jet guided laser beam to remove accumulated liquid on the processing surface. The gas flow can be configured to have minimum interference with the liquid jet guided laser beam, while functions to blow away liquid generated by the liquid jet. Keeping the surface free from accumulated liquid can improve the efficiency of the liquid jet guided laser processing.

The invention relates to a multi-pack container which defines a series of containers (11) formed in a plastic sheet (L) that comprises at least a layer of PET (polyethylene terephthalate), and in which said containers (11) are joined by bridges (12), provided with a pre-cut upper line (13) and a pre-cut lower line (14) for breaking the bridge (12). The pre-cut upper line (13) and a pre-cut lower line (14) are arranged parallel to one another, laterally separated in a horizontal direction and vertically separated to prevent heating by compression and a variation of the properties of the PET layer, allowing for clean breakage of the bridge by rotating the containers with respect to said pre-cut upper and lower lines. The invention also comprises a machine for manufacturing the multi-pack container.

An aneurysm treatment system can include an occlusive member configured to be positioned within an aneurysm sac, and a distal conduit coupled to the occlusive member and having a first lumen extending therethrough. A proximal conduit has a second lumen extending therethrough and is positioned adjacent the distal conduit so that the first lumen is in fluid communication with the second lumen. A coupler extends between the distal conduit and the proximal conduit. The coupler may be ruptured to permit the proximal conduit and the distal conduit to be separated from one another.

A machine for coupling a plunger rod to a syringe assembly may include a carriage including a cradle having a seat portion sized to receive a syringe assembly and an aperture portion disposed above the seat portion and sized to receive a plunger rod. An actuating device may be operatively coupled to the carriage and adapted to move the cradle from a first position to a second position to couple the plunger rod to the syringe assembly. The carriage may be selected from separate and interchangeable first and second carriages, wherein the first carriage includes a cradle adapted to receive a syringe assembly of a first size and the second carriage including a cradle sized to receive a syringe assembly of a second size that is different from the first size.

A method of manufacturing produces an assembled product where a ring-shaped seal is attached to a channel in an inner circumferential surface of a ring-shaped component. The method includes: a holding step that moves an engaged portion of the seal inwardly in a radial direction using a deformation member, while restricting movement of the seal in a direction parallel to an inner circumferential wall of the channel, to cause deformation so that the outer diameter of part of the seal aside from the engaged portion becomes smaller than the channel inner circumferential diameter; and an attachment step that attaches the seal to the channel by releasing the seal to restore the seal from the deformation. The attachment step includes releasing the seal by releasing engagement by the deformation member and moving the seal body inside the channel while pressing out the seal body from inside.

A device for aligning a door seal when the door seal is applied to a door of a motor vehicle includes a receiving device for receiving the door in a defined manner, a holding device arranged on the receiving device for holding the door, a guiding device arranged on the receiving device and having a guiding strip for aligning the door seal in relation to the door when the door seal is applied to the door, and a rotation device for turning the receiving device about at least one axis of rotation.

A tool head assembly for crimping, the assembly including an internal cam that spins freely on a stationary shaft in one direction and locks onto the shaft in the other direction. That cam rotates against the moving slide forcing to move away from the stationary shaft opening a gap between rollers. A controller is programmed to have the drive rotate in one direction for a set time period, then reverse the rotation to begin the crimp process. The start rotation of the drive rotates the cam and opens the roller gap. The forward rotation allows the cam to swing, closing the gap and rotating the rollers around a seal. The tool eliminates the air cylinder and related pneumatic hoses and valve making the head smaller and allows a controller to communicate with any OEM production system to verify the tool has been used and was used correctly.

A garnish installing apparatus can include a housing, a static guide roller, and adjustable guide roller and a pressure assembly. The housing can include a housing body and an extension mechanism that is movable relative to the housing body. The extension mechanism can include a pneumatic cylinder. The static guide roller can be attached to the housing. The adjustable guide roller can be attached to the extension mechanism. The adjustable guide roller can be configured to provide a clamping force, with the static guide roller, on a door of a vehicle. The pressure assembly can be configured to apply pressure and detect application of pressure to a garnish of the door. The pressure assembly can include a pneumatic sensor.
