A valve () is provided for sealing an evacuation port () in a port area () of a wall structure () of a container. The valve () comprises a casing () having a shell portion () which is deformable from an open condition, whereat the shell portion () forms a chamber () over the port area (), and a closed condition, whereat the shell portion () contacts the port area (). When the shell portion () is in its open condition, gas exits from the chamber () through gas-releasing holes () in the casing (). When the shell portion () is deformed to its closed condition, a port-sealing adhesive () adheres to the port area () to thereby seal the evacuation port ().

Evacuatable container

A method of making a microneedle array structure () comprising a plurality of simultaneously formed microneedles (), each microneedle () having a protrusion () and a passageway () extending therethrough. The method comprises the steps of pressing an embossable sheet material between a complimentary tools and radiantly heating the sheet material using radiant energy from a radiant energy source. One tool is relatively-radiantly-transparent, and another tool and/or the sheet material is relatively-radiantly-absorptive.

Method of making microneedles

A material and related methods that include a first layer and a second layer that is coupled to the first layer with the first layer disposed on the second layer, and an interface between the first layer and the second layer. The interface is configured to allow the first layer to be separated from the second layer. The first layer, after separation from the second layer, is configured to be repositioned and re-coupled to the second layer.

A method of making RFID tags includes printing individualized information to a printable facestock on which an RFID device is attached. Generic information may be preprinted on the facestock before the RFID device is attached. The facestock may be folded over, putting the generic information and individualized information on different sides of the tag. The individualized information may be a function of information obtained by reading or interrogating the RFID device.

Method of making RFID devices

A microchamber structure () comprising a base layer (), a lid layer (), and at least one microchamber () having a cross-sectional shape with a depth (d) of less than 1000 microns and a width (w) of less than 1000 microns. The base layer () includes a depression () and the lid layer () includes a projection () positioned within the depression () to together define the cross-sectional shape of the microchamber ().

Covered microchamber structures

A method of embossing a sheet material includes: heating at least a portion of the sheet directly or indirectly with radiant energy from a radiant energy source; pressing a tool against the heated portion of the sheet, thereby patterning a surface of the sheet; and separating the sheet and the tool. The radiant energy may travel through a solid material that is relatively transparent to radiation, on its way to being absorbed by a relatively-absorptive material. The relatively-transparent material may be an unheated portion of the sheet, and the relatively-absorptive material may be either the tool or the heated portion of the sheet. Alternatively, the relatively-transparent material may be the tool, and the relatively-absorptive material may be all or part of the sheet. The method may be performed as one or more roll-to-roll operations.
