A surgical device configured to surround an implantable medical device that includes a collagen membrane and a coating embedded in the membrane, the coating including at least one active pharmaceutical ingredient.

Surgical system and methods of use

A system for continuously monitoring a laser beam includes a photodiode sensor mounted adjacent to a laser beam optical path. A laser beam optical path analysis module connected to the photodiode sensor and adapted to receive, analyze and report the sensor output from the photodiode sensor.

System for continuous laser beam monitoring and analysis

A printer includes an array of rollers, an array of printing elements, and a positioning structure. The array of rollers is arranged in a first arc configuration to rollingly support a media web in a first orientation. The array of printing elements is arranged in a second arc configuration along the first orientation and movable relative to the array of rollers to selectively modify a space there between. Each respective printing element is aligned directly above one of the respective rollers to define a printing unit. A positioning structure is configured to releasably secure each printing unit at one position of a plurality of positions along the respective first and second arc configurations.

Printer including positionable printing units

In one embodiment, an inkjet printer includes: a first series of print bars arranged along an arc on a first side of an arched printing unit and a second series of print bars arranged along an arc on a second side of the arched printing unit and a dryer positioned within a footprint of the arched printing unit. A plurality of web guides are arranged to guide the web along a duplex printing path past the first print bars for printing on a first side of the web, then through the dryer for drying the first side of the web, then past the second print bars for printing on a second side of the web, and then through the dryer for drying the second side of the web.

Inkjet web printer and duplex web printing path

Web supports () form a first web path () in which a web is presented opposite to a camera () and an alternative second web path () in which the web () is overturned prior to being presented opposite to the camera ().

Camera web support

Various embodiments and methods relating to moving a printed upon web along bowed segments of a web path through at least three consecutive turns in a same direction are disclosed.

Media treatment web flow path

A dual web winder device for a web press includes a pair of drive motors and a pair of shafts. Each shaft is coupled to one of the drive motors and configured to carry a roll of web media. The shafts and drive motors are synchronized to simultaneously unwind a first roll of web media from one shaft and rewind a second roll of web media on the other shaft.

Media roll winder for digital web press

A web press printer includes a printbar supporting an array of printheads extending across a media web. The printbar includes a support member coupled to the printbar via one or more biasing mechanisms to locally counteract a deflection of the printbar at a location of one or more of the respective printheads along the printbar.

Printbar support mechanism

Inkjet web printer

A web flow path extends in a first direction opposite a print head and in a second opposite direction from the print head to a dryer.

Web flow path

In one embodiment, a web printer includes a base, an arched member detachably supported on the base for supporting a web, and multiple print bars each detachably supported on the arched member. A positioning system is operatively connected between the arched member and the base when the arched member is supported on the base for aligning the arched member to the base. In one embodiment, the web printer also includes a second positioning system operatively connected between each print bar and the arched member when the print bar is supported on the arched member for aligning the print bars to the arched member.

Web printer and support structure

A page wide array printer comprises a print head bar which carries an array of print nozzles, and which is static during a printing operation. A carriage has print head service elements. The print head bar is movable perpendicularly to the plane of the print medium beneath the print head, between a lowered print position and a raised service position. The carriage is moveable along the print head to perform a service operation when the print head is in the raised position.

Print head servicing for a page wide array printer

A printer and method include a first receiver configured to receive fluid ejected by one or more print heads on a first side of a media and a second receiver configured to receive fluid ejected by the one or more print heads on a second side of the media, wherein the second receiver is movable relative to the first receiver.

Movable fluid receiver

A web press printer includes a frame spaced above a media support and at least one printbar removably secured to the frame. The at least one printbar supports an array of printheads extending generally transverse to the media support. The at least one printbar also includes a connector and a routing mechanism. The connector is configured to releasably connect to an element supply that is external to the at least one printbar. The routing mechanism is in communication with the element supply via the connector and configured to separately route the supplied element to each respective printhead.

Replaceable printbar assembly

A printer includes a first print head support carrying a plurality of print heads. The first print head support is movable towards and away from the media support and includes one or more guides movably supporting a first print head service shuttle along the media support.
