An inner membrane removing device includes a heating membrane removing mechanism and a membrane suction mechanism located at a downstream of the heating membrane removing mechanism. The heating membrane removing mechanism includes a heating frame, a membrane pressing component, a membrane welding component configured to fusion weld a nest box inner membrane to a nest box inner lining paper, a first lifting component configured to enable the heating frame and the membrane welding component to be in contact with the nest box inner membrane and a second lifting component configured to enable the membrane pressing component to press against the nest box inner membrane. The membrane pressing component and the membrane welding component are located on an inside of the heating frame. An inner membrane removing method is also provided.

A container assembly includes a container defining a sealed chamber, a solid state electrolyte disposed in the chamber, and a hydrophobic substance protecting the solid state electrolyte. A method for preparing a solid state electrolyte includes positioning a solid state electrolyte in a chamber of a container, protecting the solid state electrolyte using a hydrophobic substance, and sealing the chamber. A method for extracting a solid state electrolyte includes positioning the container assembly of in a dry atmosphere, unsealing the chamber, and removing the solid state electrolyte from the chamber to the dry atmosphere.

A process for unloading a container containing an oxidizable compound having a melting point T.sub.m greater than 15° C. is described. This process comprises the steps consisting in heating the container using a heating means until the oxidizable compound is liquid, the temperature of the heating means remaining less than or equal to T.sub.m+105° C., and then unloading the oxidizable compound in the liquid state. A process for handling such an oxidizable compound, comprising this unloading step, and also a device enabling this process to be carried out, are also proposed.

A method and an apparatus are provided for opening value document packages in which value documents are packaged by a packaging material. A region of the packaging material is heated by hot air such that the packaging material opens along a cutting pattern. A system is also provided that includes such an apparatus and a value document package.

A wrap removal device includes (a) an engagement surface configured to receive a container having an outer wrapping and (b) one or more delivery elements disposed on or in the engagement surface. The one or more delivery elements are configured to generate energy that one or more of melts, cuts, or weakens the outer wrapping along a path without melting, cutting, or modifying the container. The wrap removal device can quickly remove the outer wrapping without damage to the container.

Methods and tools for opening polyfilm-wrapped packages. A tool includes a rubbing surface and a motor configured to move the rubbing surface. The tool includes a power source connected to supply power to the rubbing surface. The rubbing surface is applied to the polyfilm wrapping while being moved to create an opening in the polyfilm wrapping caused at least in part by friction heat. The opening is created without damaging contents of the package.

Methods and apparatus for reclaiming oil from vaporizer cartridges and filling vaporizer cartridges are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes a plate having a top side, a bottom side opposite the top side, and a threaded opening extending into the top side of the plate. The threaded opening is sized to receive a threaded extension on a vaporizer cartridge such that the vaporizer cartridge can be screwed into the threaded opening and held on the plate while a mouthpiece of the vaporizer cartridge is removed. The plate also has a drain opening extending through the plate between the top side and the bottom side. At least a portion of the drain opening is sized to receive a reservoir casing of the vaporizer cartridge such that the reservoir casing can be inserted into the drain opening in an upside-down orientation.
