A liner-based pressure dispensing container includes a connector-mounted probe arranged to seat a dip tube against an inner surface of a liner fitment for sealing utility. A dip tube and probe may include increased and/or matched flow area. A reverse flow prevention element can be arranged proximate to a liquid extraction opening to inhibit reverse flow of liquid from a dip tube into a container. A liner-less container may include a reduce diameter lower portion arranged to receive a dip tube, with at least one associated sensor to sense a condition indicative of depletion of liquid from the lower portion. A shipping cap can be included for removing headspace gas from the liner. In one embodiment, the shipping cap is suitable for direct connection to a dispensing process.

Apparatus and method for pressure dispensing of high viscosity liquid-containing materials

A packaging pouch for storing and/or transporting one or more dip tube assemblies is provided. The pouch includes a front side sealably and fixedly attached to a back side along a first sealed edge, a second sealed edge, and a sealed end. The front side and back side define an opening at an end opposite the sealed end. A plurality of welds extend over at least a portion of the length of the pouch from the sealed end towards the opening, wherein generally adjacent welds define cavities for dip tube storage. Individual dip tubes are held separated and out of contact with each other within individual cavities, reducing or preventing generation of particulates or other contaminants. The packaging pouch is sealed to provide additional protection. Related packaging systems and methods are also disclosed.

Packaging for dip tubes

Improved fitment assemblies for headspace gas removal. In one configuration, a fitment assembly includes a fitment defining a fluid pathway between an interior and an exterior of a container, the fitment including a tubular body having an upper neck portion and a lower neck portion, the lower neck portion depending from the upper neck, the upper neck portion including a proximal end defining a proximal opening. The lower neck portion including a distal end defining a distal opening, the tubular body defining a central bore that passes therethrough, the central bore being concentric about a central axis and passing through the proximal opening and the distal opening a flange for coupling with a container, the flange extending radially outward at a junction with the upper neck portion and the lower neck portion, wherein the lower neck portion is configured to extend into the interior of the container.

Fitment and fitment adapter for dispensing systems and methods for manufacturing same

A breakseal providing desired compliance characteristics for a reliable seal between the fitment of a liquid dispenser and the breakseal. A compliant material is provided on the non-wetted face of the breakseal, enabling compliance of the breakseal on a wetted face for sealing between the breakseal and the mating component. The breakseal may also include raised features on segments that are separated after rupturing that prevent or mitigate scoring of O-ring seals upon probe insertion. A wiping feature that provides redundant sealing between the breakseal and a mating cap or other mating connection may also be incorporated into the breakseal. The breakseal can also include a flat on an outer perimeter that may serve as a gate for injection molding, so that any gate vestige from the molding process will not protrude beyond the outer diameter of the breakseal to cause unwanted interference between the breakseal and the mating connection.

Breakseal for a liquid dispensing system

A prosthetic anatomical device, such as, for example an annuloplasty prosthesis, is disclosed in which the prosthesis comprises a generally annular core and a cover surrounding the core, with at least a portion of the cover forming a cuff. In some embodiments, the cover may be particularly configured about the core to form the cuff. Various methods and structures for mitigating or retarding movement between the annular core and the fabric cover are also disclosed.

Prosthetic anatomical device with sewing cuff flange and anti-rotation feature

A DSX jack module having removable jacks is disclosed. The jack module includes a jack mount for holding the jacks. The jack module also includes a front facing cross-connect array and a front facing IN/OUT array. A circuit board is electrically connected to the arrays. The circuit board includes portions positioned directly behind the cross-connect array and the IN/OUT array. A chassis for holding jack modules is also disclosed. The chassis includes a front door having a double hinge configuration.

Front access DSX assembly

A patching system is disclosed herein. The patching system includes a plurality of front-loaded patching modules positionable within a chassis. Each of the patching modules includes first and second longframe jack assemblies and a switch for changing the circuit configurations of the patching module. The patching modules and the chassis provide increased patching density.

A jumper assembly for a DSX system is disclosed herein. The jumper assembly includes a messenger wire for electrically connecting tracer lamp circuits corresponding to two cross-connected DSX modules. The jumper assembly also includes tracer lamp devices carried with the messenger wire.

Cross-connect jumper assembly having tracer lamp

A patching system is disclosed herein. The patching system includes a plurality of patching jacks. The jacks include switches for changing the circuit configurations of the patching circuitry of the jacks. The switches are positioned to enhance the circuit density of the patching system.

High density patching system

A jack includes a body having a plurality of electrically conductive spring contacts and a first and second plurality of connection locations, and a plurality of conductive pins secured to the body and projecting from walls of the body. A circuit board is secured to the body and provides circuit paths to make electrical contact between the spring contacts and the connection locations. The jack is usable in a chassis to form a jack and chassis assembly, wherein the chassis has an open front face and an open back face. The open back face permits accessibility to the projecting pins of the jack, such that it may be wire connected. Secured to the chassis is a circuit board having a plurality of sockets. The sockets provide power and ground connections to each jack. Methods of assembling and providing DSX connections include structures as described herein.

Jack; jack assembly; and methods

A jack and chassis assembly includes a baluns interface connected directly to the in/out wire wrap pins on the jacks. This helps to convert 75 ohm coaxial signals to 120 ohm twisted pair interface signals for equipment connections. The jack and chassis assembly includes at least one jack, a chassis defining a first frame holding the jack, a circuit board mounted to the first frame and in electrical contact with the jack, and a balun in electrical contact with the jack. Methods for assembling a jack and chassis assembly include mounting a jack onto a frame, providing a second frame holding a balun, and connecting the jack to the balun. A chassis assembly includes a first frame, and a second frame, with the first frame being mounted within the second frame. A method for servicing a jack assembly includes providing jacks mounted in a first frame in a chassis, providing a circuit board secured to the first frame and in electrical connection with each of the jacks, removing the first frame holding the jacks from a second frame supporting a panel of baluns electrically connected to the jacks, and providing a space between the plurality of jacks and the panel of baluns sufficient to permit service access to the jacks.
