Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

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.

Appl. No.:

8/755676

Inventors:

Michael A. Lang - Castaic CA

International Classification:

B65D 5122

US Classification:

220258

Abstract:

An improved device for identifying an individual pop-top can having a pull tab for levering open the can is provided. The device includes a flexible resilient sleeve of elastomeric plastic or rubber or the like which slides over and seats on the free end of the pop-top can tab. The sleeve has a distinctive color, design, texture, written indicia or any combination thereof, in order to identify the individual can. A kit is also provided which includes a number of the sleeves, all of which differ from each other in color, texture, written indicia and/or design. One embodiment of the sleeve includes an integral plug which extends upwardly from the top of the sleeve and is shaped and dimensioned to plug the can opening to preserve the contents thereof after opening. The sleeve is simple, inexpensive and attractive and enables users of similar cans to identify their own cans and thus not drink from another user's can.

International Classification:

G02B 27/00
G21K 1/06

Abstract:

Systems and methods for mitigating and reducing contamination of one or more components of overlay inspection systems are disclosed. Specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure may utilize a counterflow of purge gas through a counterflow nozzle to reduce the presence of contaminants within one or more portions of an inspection system. The system may include a source chamber, one or more vacuum chambers, an intermediate focus housing having an aperture, an illumination source configured to generate and direct illumination through the aperture in an illumination direction, and a counterflow nozzle configured to direct a counterflow of purge gas into the source chamber in a direction opposite the illumination direction.
