System and methods for a membership-based service or network to enable access to membership-related services are provided. A portal application for members, which is accessible via a mobile device of a member, transforms the mobile device of the member into a membership card, an instrument to provide information employable to access membership services, and an apparatus to access the membership-related services. A membership management server supports the portal application and facilitates provision of services to members by a membership provider.

System and method for accessing a membership-based service

A nut and ferrule assembly including a nut having an internal-threaded bore along a nut axis and a nut sealing surface, the threads of the internal-threaded bore having a nut thread pitch and a nut thread minor diameter, a ferrule having an annular body forming an axial bore and a ferrule sealing surface, the ferrule sealing surface corresponding to the nut sealing surface, the ferrule further having a protrusion extending outwardly from the body around at least a portion of the body, the outside diameter of the protrusion being greater than the nut thread minor diameter, and the ferrule positioned within the internal-threaded bore.

Tube connection nut and ferrule assembly

A method for reshaping a tube end using a reshaping tool incorporating a tool head and clamp for reshaping the cross section of a tube constructed from one or more polymer materials. The clamp holds the tube in place while the head portion of the tool, which is moveable with respect to the clamp, engages the tube for reshaping its profile cross section. The tube may be crosslinked polyethylene tube.

Reshaping tool for polymeric tubing

A process for making a crosslinked assembly includes steps of: selecting a desired performance parameter for a molded assembly of a first polymeric component and a second polymeric component bonded to the first polymeric component, controlling a first crosslinking percentage for the first polymeric component and a second crosslinking percentage for the second polymeric component independently to provide the desired performance parameter for the assembly, orienting the assembly at an angle between an orientation axis of the assembly and a electron beam direction, exposing the oriented assembly a predetermined number of times (N) to the electron beam operable to deliver a predetermined amount of radiation (R) in the electron beam direction providing a total radiation exposure proportional to (N&#xd7;R) providing the first component crosslinking percentage and the second component crosslinking percentage, the resulting assembly having the desired performance parameter.

Method of making a crosslinked overmolded assembly

A process for making a reservoir including steps of positioning a hollow extrudate at an elevated temperature in a mold cavity, inserting a fitting into an end of the extrudate, sealing an outer surface of the fitting with an interior surface of the extrudate using latent heat within the extrudate, and forming at least a portion of the extrudate against the mold cavity forming a reservoir with the fitting sealed into the reservoir.

Method for making a reservoir

The invention described herein relates to method by which a leak-proof connection may be made to a refrigeration device using shape memory characteristics of crosslinking and overmolding to affect the leak-proof connection.

Barbed metal insert overmolding using crosslinked polymers

The invention described herein relates to a method by which a reservoir having desired end connection profiles may be made using shape memory characteristics of crosslinking to compressively seal the connection profiles into the reservoir.

A process is described for injection overmolding a second polymer onto a crosslinked profile of a first polymer comprising the steps of: heating at least a portion of the crosslinked profile (previously crosslinked to at least approximately 65%) to a temperature which raises the temperature of a skin of said portion of the crosslinked profile from a first temperature to a second higher temperature (e.g., 112-269&#xb0; F.) for a duration sufficient to heat the crosslinked portion to the second temperature, the crosslinked profile having been crosslinked from a method selected from the group consisting of radiation and silane; inserting at least a portion of the heated portion at least partially into a mold which defines an overmolding profile; injection molding the second polymer over at least a portion of the heated portion of the crosslinked profile into the void of the mold; and crosslinking the second polymer. The affixation between the heated portion of the crosslinked profile and the second crosslinked polymer passing a hot burst pressure test applicable to an intended end use for said combination at 180&#xb0; F. without any visible separation between the first and second profiles after the test.

Process for over-molding onto crosslinked polymers

A method for providing personalized medical care is described herein. The membership provider provides access to qualified members to highly qualified healthcare facilities. A dedicated staff person is available for the members, along with a selection of preferred services to make the health care facility visit more pleasant. The membership provider will then facilitate a meeting between the healthcare facility and the member to encourage and solicit a donation by the member to the healthcare facility.

A connecting fastener is provided. The fastener includes a cylindrical base that includes a first end and a second end and a wall. A central bore is defined in the base and an aperture is defined in the wall. At least one projection extends from an inner surface of the wall into the central bore proximate the first end of the base. A cylindrical collar has a first end disposed proximate the second end of the base, defines a central bore and includes a wall that defines a gap in the wall and a central bore. A shoulder is connected to and extends between the second end of the base and the first end of the collar along at least a portion of the respective circumferences of the base and the collar. A method of connecting tubing is also provided.
