A production line for PFCs with FMDs includes a conveyor system, a supply system, and an installation system. The conveyor system is operable to convey PFCs. The supply system includes a roller stage. The roller stage operable to feed FMDs. The installation system includes an installation tool. The installation tool includes a mandrel, a platen, a platen heater, and a platen actuator. The installation tool is configured to receive FMDs from the roller stage in part around the mandrel and in part around the platen, configured to insert into PFCs on the conveyor system, and operable to install FMDs thereto by the operation of the platen heater to heat the platen and the platen actuator to radially expand the platen.

A method and apparatus are presented. The apparatus comprises a first unitary structure, a second unitary structure, and a number of joints between the first unitary structure and the second unitary structure. The first unitary structure has a plurality of T-shaped cross-sections. The second unitary structure has a plurality of T-shaped cross-sections.

A microfluidic device includes a first substrate made of a first polymer material and a second substrate made of a second polymer material, the first and second substrates having respective bonding surfaces, at least one of the bonding surfaces having channel formations so that, when the bonding surfaces are bonded by surface deformation to one another, the bonded first and second substrates and the channel formations form at least part of a microfluidic channel network comprising a plurality of microfluidic channels, wherein one or more indicator pits, separate to the channel formations defining the microfluidic channel network, are formed in at least one of the bonding surfaces, so that surface deformation caused by the bonding process causes a change of configuration of the one or more indicator pits.

A visual inspection method includes the following steps: (a) placing a material between a pair of parts, wherein at least one of the pair of parts defines at least one thru-hole sized to partly receive the material; (b) pressing the pair of parts together until the material is partly displaced into the thru-hole (or merely moving the pair of parts toward each other until the material is partly displaced into the thru-hole); and (c) visually inspecting the one thru-hole to verify that the material is partly disposed in the thru-hole after pressing the pair of parts together (or moving the pair of parts toward each other).

A microfluidic device comprises a first substrate (102) made of a first polymer material and a second substrate (104) made of a second polymer material, the first (102) and second (104) substrates having respective bonding surfaces (23, 41), at least one of the bonding surfaces (41) having channel formations (14) so that, when the bonding surfaces (23, 41) are bonded by surface deformation to one another, the bonded first and second substrates (102, 104) and the channel formations (14) form at least part of a microfluidic channel network comprising a plurality of microfluidic channels, wherein one or more indicator pits (11), separate to the channel formations (14) defining the microfluidic channel network, are formed in at least one of the bonding surfaces (23, 41), so that surface deformation caused by the bonding process causes a change of configuration of the one or more indicator pits (11).

A kit for fusing piping includes a plurality of couplings, each coupling having a susceptor layer concentric with a weld zone. A control unit provides a current to a wand with a handle for gripping by a user. The handle has opposing jaws mounted on the distal end, each jaw including an arcuate conductor such that the arcuate conductors form a circular inner diameter when the jaws make contact. A lever system couples to the distal end for opening and closing the jaws. The lever system includes a spring for selectively biasing the lever system in a latched position with jaws closed and an open position with the jaws open. Each coupling is sized such that the jaws will only close about the weld zone. The arcuate conductors create a fuse zone about the susceptor layer and the spring is outside the fuse zone.

A method for creating a termination by attaching some kind of fitting to the end of a tensile member such as a cable. The end fitting is provided with an internal cavity. The cavity has a proximal portion that is adjacent the area where the tensile member exits the fitting and a distal portion on its opposite end. A length of the tensile member's filaments is placed within this expanding cavity and infused with liquid potting compound. The method exploits the characteristic of a liquid potting compound as it transitions to a solid. The potting compound in one portion of the cavity is typically transitioned to a solid at a more rapid rate than other portions. Once the potting compound in one portion of the cavity has transitioned sufficiently to hold the filaments at the desired level, tension is placed on the tensile member and a small linear displacement may be imposed on the tensile member. This linear displacement tends to pull the filaments residing in the potting compound into better alignment and improve load sharing.

An assembly includes a medical package defining a housing configured to receive a medical supply. The medical package comprises a first sealable region and a second sealable region. The first and second sealable regions are configured to be sealed together to secure the medical supply within the housing. The medical package includes a thermal pattern configured to exhibit a first visible indicium indicative of an unsealed region between the first and second sealable regions. The thermal pattern is configured to irreversibly transform to a second visible indicium indicative of a sealed region between the first and second sealable regions in response to exposure to a temperature greater than or equal to a first temperature threshold, and to a third visible indicium indicative of a sterilized stage of the medical package in response to exposure to a temperature greater than or equal to a second temperature threshold.
