The method for setting an operating point of a film stretching system comprises the method steps: acquiring an input, wherein the input contains: a) a target value for the first production variable; or b) a target value for the second production variable; or c) a target value for the third production variable; specifying: a) a setting value for the second production variable and the third production variable in order to achieve the target value for the first production variable; or b) a setting value for the first production variable and the third production variable in order to achieve the target value for the second production variable); or c) a setting value for the first production variable and the second production variable in order to achieve the target value for the third production variable; controlling the motor arrangement and the extruder arrangement by the control device in such a way that the operating point consisting of the target value and two setting values is reached.

Disclosed are cable types, including a type THHN cable, the cable types having a reduced surface coefficient of friction, and the method of manufacture thereof, in which the central conductor core and insulating layer are surrounded by a material containing nylon or thermosetting resin. A silicone based pulling lubricant for said cable, or alternatively, erucamide or stearyl erucamide for small cable gauge wire, is incorporated, by alternate methods, with the resin material from which the outer sheath is extruded, and is effective to reduce the required pulling force between the formed cable and a conduit during installation.

An implantable medical device is provided. The core includes a core polymer matrix within which is dispersed a therapeutic agent comprising one or more antipsychotics. The core polymer matrix contains an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer. The ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer has a melt flow index of about 1 to about 400 grams per 10 minutes as determined in accordance with ASTM D1238-20 at a temperature of 190° C. and a load of 2.16 kilograms.

A sizer for cooling an extrudate, which includes a clad core and a housing. The clad core includes an extrusion channel which accommodates the extrudate, and a core vacuum port in fluid communication with the extrusion channel. The housing includes a cooling channel and a housing vacuum channel. The cooling channel does not exist in the clad core and is adapted to circulate a coolant through the housing.
