A method including providing a mold cavity to produce an outer contour of an acoustic resonator and providing a mold core to produce an inner contour of the resonator. The inner contour corresponds to a plenum, and a connecting channel in fluid communication with the plenum. An insert fitting adjacent to the mold core defines a length of the connecting channel during injection molding of the resonator.

An injection-molding tool comprising at least two separate mold plates each having a mold insert socket with a mold insert attached in the mold insert socket. Each mold plate have mutually opposite and parallel abutting side faces defining the thickness of the mold plate and a number of mutually aligned guide bushings forming through holes adapted for axially sliding one of the mold plates with respect to the other on a common guide pin in a direction perpendicular to the abutting side faces of the mold plates. The guide bushings and the mold insert socket of at least one mold plate am interconnected via one or more connection plates each extending parallel to the abutting side faces and having a thickness of less than half the thickness of the mold plate.

Uniformed improvement to the flex stop system with an effective fit and attachment thereof by improving overall fit to many different types of universal joints, and with the flex and movement for clearance needed with a greater angle of rotation.

Provided herein is a cell macroencapsulation device composed of hydrogel in a 3D conformation that optimizes encapsulated cell viability and function when transplanted into a vascularized tissue space. The hydrogel macroencapsulation device is intended to reduce or eliminate immune response to the cell graft, while allowing exchange of encapsulated cell-secreted products, such as insulin. Also described herein is an injection-mold and fabrication process to generate the hydrogel macroencapsulation devices for use in the clinic.

An example medical agent filling system may comprise a container having an exterior housing formed by a rigid wall and a removable lid. The system may further comprise a fluid introduction port. The system may further comprise a fluid bus extending from the fluid introduction port to a plurality of dispensing sharps. The system may further comprise a plurality of reservoir assemblies each having a main interior volume sealed by a septum. Each of the septa may be in a punctured state with a respective dispensing sharp of the plurality of dispensing sharps extending therethrough. The fluid bus and main interior volumes of the reservoir assemblies may form an isolated fill environment.

A gate insert for an injection mold and method of use. The gate insert includes a gate insert body with a fastener seat extending from a side of the gate insert body. A clamp block sets on the fastener seat, and a tapered fastener extends through the clamp body and fastener seat to secure the gate insert to a mold. Spacers are used to provide for machining of the insert cavity face to adjust a gate opening.

An injection molding tool includes a \ primary mold cavity forming a handle sleeve having an inner circumference with an integral transition section attached thereto, and transitioning into a shaft protruding from the handle sleeve. The handle sleeve in an area between the attachment of the transition section and a free end facing the free end of the shaft has a skirt with an internally formed fastener for securing the handle sleeve to a container. The injection molding tool has an ejector-side insert and a nozzle-side insert removable for demolding purposes. The nozzle-side insert provides the part of the main mold cavity that molds the outer circumference of the handle sleeve, and the ejector-side insert.

A pressurisation and heating device for restoring an insulation system of a power cable, the pressurisation and heating device including: a first part including a first channel configured to receive a portion of the power cable, a second part including a second channel configured to receive a portion of the power cable, wherein the pressurisation and heating device is configured to be set in a closed state in which the first channel faces the second channel thereby forming a heating chamber extending from a first end to a second end, opposite the first end, of the pressurisation and heating device, wherein the pressurisation and heating device is configured to be pressurised to obtain a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure inside the heating chamber when the power cable is arranged sealed in the heating chamber, wherein the pressurisation and heating device has an at least 20 cm long axially extending section which is primarily made of material at most having a conductivity of the order of 1000 S/m at 20 C.

An apparatus for forming a plastic shopping basket body is provided, the basket body comprising at least three side walls. The apparatus comprises a plurality of mould sides, one per side wall of the basket body, each mould side including a form insert panel to mould the relevant side wall with customer-specific formations and/or apertures, the form insert panels being (readily) interchangeable to enable a plurality of basket bodies to be moulded with different customer-specific formations and/or apertures, for a plurality of different customers. In an embodiment, the customer-specific formations include branding and/or logos, and the customer-specific apertures include the shape, configuration and pattern of apertures defined in the walls of the basket body that is specific or specifically assigned to a particular customer. The basket bodies may be moulded in different colours, so as to further distinguish the basket bodies of and between different customers.
