Tissue-processing containers are disclosed for facilitating multistep processing of tissue. Also disclosed are systems incorporating the tissue-processing containers that include shakers, incubators, controllers, and pumps. Multistep methods are disclosed for processing tissues using the tissue-processing containers. The tissue-processing containers are specially designed to achieve efficiencies in automated tissue processing, exposure of tissues to processing media, and multistep tissue processing protocols. The described tissue-processing containers comprise a cup-like cavity comprising a middle hole covered by a mesh screen, troughs for separate processing steps, and are stackable in a substantially airtight and substantially watertight manner. Tissues for processing using the described tissue-processing containers include nerve tissue. Also described herein is a transport housing for the transport of stacks of tissue-processing containers, and which may directly incubate those containers, or which may be placed inside a separate incubator for incubating the containers.

Tissue-processing container for automated processing of tissue, methods of use thereof, and systems comprising the same

A packaged feminine care absorbent article has an absorbent article with an absorbent structure and a shell. The absorbent structure is configured for disposition adjacent a female wearer's vaginal region. The shell is configured for supporting the absorbent structure at the vaginal region. The shell has a body-facing surface and a garment-facing surface. The body-facing surface has an adhesive thereon for adhering the shell directly to the wearer. The absorbent structure is attached directly to the garment-facing surface. The absorbent article is configurable between a packaged configuration and a use configuration. The absorbent structure is folded longitudinally about at least one transverse fold line and transversely about at least one longitudinal fold line in the packaged configuration. A portion of the shell overlies a portion of the absorbent structure in the packaged configuration.

Packaged body adhering absorbent article

Automated injection system disclosed in this application advantageously provides physicians with a simplified interface for selecting fluid sources, such as saline, contrast, or a mixture of both, to inject at high pressures. The injector system may comprise a multi-use subassembly, a single-use subassembly, a fitting to fluidly connect the multi-use and single-use subassemblies, a hand held controller, a user interface, and an injector housing.

Power injector device and method of use

A disinfection device includes a radiation lamp () having an aperture for delivering radiation. A flexible shroud () surrounds a perimeter of the aperture. The shroud includes a surface configured to deform and create a seal around the aperture when in contact with a target surface. A sensing circuit () is configured to sense a state of the seal and enable the radiation lamp when the seal is complete.

Flash safe seal feature

A disposable personal care article includes a shell having a unitary structure for disposition adjacent a wearer's vulva region; wherein the shell has a first side and a second side, the first side having a first area and a second area, the first area including body adhesive properties; wherein at least a portion of the first area comprises a body attachment means for adhering the shell directly to the skin and/or hair of the wearer; and wherein the shell has an anterior portion and a posterior portion where the posterior portion exhibits a higher % Extension relative to the anterior portion when a stretching force of 454 grams is applied, as measured by the % Strain Differential Test; and an absorbent structure present in the second area of the shell, wherein the first area is longitudinally separated from the second area.

Dynamic fitting body adhering absorbent article

A packaged feminine care absorbent article has an absorbent article with an absorbent structure and a shell. The absorbent structure is configured for disposition adjacent a female wearer's vaginal region. The shell is configured for supporting the absorbent structure at the vaginal region. The shell has a body-facing surface and a garment-facing surface. The body-facing surface has an adhesive thereon for adhering the shell directly to the wearer. At least a portion of the shell extends outward beyond the periphery of the absorbent structure. The absorbent article is configurable between a packaged configuration and a use configuration. At least part of the outward extending portion of the shell is arranged in direct overlapping relationship with a portion of the absorbent structure in the packaged configuration. The outward extending portion of the shell is free from overlapping relationship with the absorbent structure in the use configuration.

The present invention provides apparatus for dispensing ophthalmic lens packages. A plurality of ophthalmic lens packages are loaded into the apparatus and the apparatus determines an identity of each ophthalmic lens package. A housing stores the ophthalmic lens packages and records a location and identity of each of the lens packages and dispenses a particular ophthalmic lens package.

A disposable personal care article comprises a shell having a unitary structure for disposition adjacent a wearer's vulva region, where the shell has a first side and a second side, the first side having a first area and a second area. The first area of the shell contacts to the wearer's skin and/or hair surrounding the vulva region. At least a portion of the first area comprises a body attachment means for adhering the shell directly to the skin and/or hair of the wearer. In addition, the shell has an anterior half and a posterior half where the posterior half exhibits a higher extension relative to the anterior half when a stretching force of 454 grams is applied. In some aspects, the article further includes an absorbent structure.

A closure construction of the present invention includes a container with male threading on the neck thereof with a pair of locking notches. The cap includes a pair of split arcuate walls with partial threading thereon, which provides, in cooperation with each other, a threaded connection between the cap and the male threading disposed thereby releasably securing the cap to the container. A pair of protrusions are connected to and emanate inwardly from the inner surface of the outer wall. The pair of protrusions are releasably respectively seated in the pair of locking notches when the cap is threaded past a predetermined point onto the neck of the container. When the cap is squeezed in a direction generally perpendicular to a line running through the protrusions, the protrusions lift out of their respective locking notches to permit the cap to be unthreaded from the container.

Threadable closure with split securing walls and locking notches

A differential pulse transformer having a drive coil ( ) and differential sense coils ( ) are disposed on a planar surface with a target ( ) movable over the sense coils to cause an imbalance in magnetic field when a large di/dt pulse is generated in the drive coil. A detection circuit senses the imbalance and provides a digital output accurately identifying the position of the target. Coil and target embodiments include relatively small secondary coils and relatively long targets ( and ) and relatively large secondary coils and short targets ( and ).
