Title: Packaging process - using two plastic foils welded together around portions of goods
Inventor: AUGUST MATZINGER
IPC: B65B51/30
Filed: 1970-11-06
Abstract: The materials to be packaged are placed between two sheets of foil in discrete portions and carried along on a conveyor belt of relatively heat resistant materials to the welding station at which a permanently heated stamp is lowered onto the foils and pressed down onto the belt supported by a table below it and in line with the stamp. Relative motion between the belt and the head table is suspended during welding either by traversing the heat table at the same speed as the belt or esp. by stopping the belt. The underside of the belt or the top of the support table is covered with e.g. Teflon (RTM) and is shaped so that it forms an enclosed seam around each portion of goods, this seam acting as a tear off line for detaching the portions in their packages. Esp. the tool is shaped so that it produces a contoured seam. Relatively simple and cheap method of reducing packaging costs.

Title: Medical Agent Delivery
Inventor: ALLMAN KEITH
IPC: A61M5/28
Filed: 2002-05-01
Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of drug delivery, and in particular relates to the delivery of an agent through the skin of a patient by means of a needle. A problem for hospitals is the administrative and cost burden of providing this application of local anaesthetic. A nurse will have to obtain a fine needle, the syringe body and a vial of anaesthetic. The anaesthetic must be kept in a separate location as it is a drug. Hence providing a dose of local anaesthetic for a cannula insertion requires access to components in at least two distinct locations, as well as the assembly of three components to arrive at an anaesthetic-loaded syringe. It is an object of the present invention to provide a simplified agent delivery system which overcomes the problems outlined above, as well as providing a new agent delivery system which has wide application for the delivery of single doses of agent. According to the present invention there is provided a device for delivering liquid agent through a body surface, comprising a manually squeezable reservoir 11 for the liquid agent, and a hollow needle 12 in fluid communication with the reservoir, whereby on squeezing of the reservoir, agent may be ejected from the reservoir through the needle.

Abstract: The method comprises the steps of providing a sample of ferroelectric material having opposing end faces 23, opposing side faces 21, and a stack of ferroelectric layer 16, wherein adjacent layers are separated from one another by internal electrodes (18a, 18b) and applying a primary external electrode arrangement 24a, 24b to the end faces 23 of the sample 14. A primary poling voltage is applied to the primary electrode arrangement 24a, 24b to polarise substantially the entire ferroelectric sample along a single, first polarisation axis in a first polarisation direction. A secondary external electrode arrangement 30a, 30b is applied to the side faces 21 of the sample 14, and a secondary poling voltage is applied to the secondary external electrode arrangement 30a, 30b so as to polarise alternate ones of the ferroelectric layers 16 within those regions of the sample located between internal electrodes of opposite polarity. Alternate ones of the ferroelectric layers are polarised along substantially the first polarisation axis in the first polarisation direction and the others of the ferroelectric layers are polarised along a second, oppositely directed polarisation axis. The method provides a way of polarising substantially the entire sample whilst substantially avoiding discontinuities in ferroelectric strain throughout the sample 14 and particularly those regions adjacent to the side faces 21. The polarised device may be used in a fuel injection system.
