TL;DR: A multi-component blister pack in which the blister sections are formed from a composite material with at least two layers, at least one of which is essentially impermeable to gas (especially oxygen) and shows a lower tensile elongation at break than the other layer(s).
Abstract: A multi-component blister pack in which the blister sections are formed from a composite material with at least two layers, at least one of which is essentially impermeable to gas (especially oxygen) and shows a lower tensile elongation at break than the other layer(s). Packaging (1) with at least two storage compartments (2, 4) for the packaged substance, each being formed by a blister section (2', 4') and a cover section (2, 4) and capable of being brought at least partly in contact with one another, and in which at least one of the blister sections (4') is more permeable to gas, especially to oxygen, than the other (2'). The blister sections (2', 4') consist of a composite material (10) with at least two layers (12, 14, 16), at least one of which (14) is essentially impermeable to gas (especially oxygen) and shows a lower tensile elongation at break than the other layers (12, 16). An independent claim is also included for a method for the production of (1) by making a composite material (10) as above, forming blister sections (2', 4') as above and sealing the blisters with a cover (2, 4) to as to form adjacent compartments (2, 4) which can be connected together.

TL;DR: In this article, a method of controlling a strip of blisters within an inhalation device is also disclosed, as well as a method for forming a strip for insertion into an inhaled device.
Abstract: An inhaler includes a housing to receive a strip of blisters each containing a dose of medicament and being sequentially movable into alignment with means for breaching a blister to enable a user to inhale said dose contained therein. The device comprises a segmented spiral element within the housing that receives and coils a strip of blisters, such as the used portion of the blister strip. A method of controlling a strip of blisters within an inhalation device is also disclosed, as well as a method of forming a strip of blisters for insertion into an inhalation device.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of implantation order and postannealing temperature on surface blistering of H and He co-implanted germanium was investigated in the samples implanted with He and H in different orders (H first then He or He first then H).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the interrelationship between moisture content of the foam concrete, the temperature of the bituminous membrane, and the adhesion strength to the substrate as they relate to blister formation.
Abstract: Blistering is one of the most common failures occurring in roof waterproofing systems composed of bituminous layers or membranes, particularly when applied over a foam‐concrete substrate. This work examines the interrelationship between moisture content of the foam concrete, the temperature of the bituminous membrane, and Us adhesion strength to the substrate as they relate to blister formation. Systems at various water contents were exposed to different climatic conditions, and blister formation followed. It was shown that, even after long drying periods, a significant content of water remains trapped in the substrate. With an increase in temperature, the water‐vapor pressure increases and, at the same time, the strength of adhesion of the membrane to the substrate decreases. The blisters form when the peel stress exceeds the peel strength. Under test conditions this happened at temperatures above 60 °C. It was concluded that, since it is impossible under site conditions to ensure the required dryness, t...

TL;DR: Suction blister epidermal grafting is a simple procedure with good cosmetic results in both stable and segmental vitiligo because there is no scarring over the donor or recipient site.
Abstract: SURGICAL CHALLENGE Suction blister epidermal grafting is a simple procedure with good cosmetic results in both stable and segmental vitiligo because there is no scarring over the donor or recipient site. Color and texture match with the surrounding skin is generally good. The procedure involves induction of blister on the donor area (usually the outer thigh or the inner arms) using a 10-cc syringe connectedwith 3-way stop cannula at the nozzle end and the application of negative pressure using a 50-cc syringe or a foot-operated suction machine. The recipient area can be abraded manually, with a motorized dermabrader or by inducing a phototoxic blister. Blister formation at the donor site is unpredictable, and in such cases clinicians have to manage the available (partially formed blisters) to cover the recipient area. In addition, placing the grafts is difficult in some areas, like the angle of the mouth.
