A pouch cleaning assembly that includes a treatment chamber and a guide assembly. The treatment chamber includes an elongated central channel extending therethrough. The guide assembly having a first side guide bar and a second side guide bar. The guide bars defining a channel therebetween that is structurally configured to facilitate the retention of spouts of a plurality of pouches in slidable engagement along the first and second guide bar. Any abutment of adjacent portions of the plurality of pouches within the treatment chamber define relative points of contact. The channel is positioned within the elongated central channel, wherein the channel is undulating in at least one of a vertical and a horizontal direction along the length thereof sufficient so as to substantially expose the relative points of contact between adjacent ones of the plurality of spouts so as to expose the same to the cleaning preparation.

Fibrous materials, compositions that include fibrous materials, and uses of the fibrous materials and compositions are disclosed. For example, the fibrous materials can be operated on by a microorganism to produce ethanol or a by-product, such as a protein or lignin. In particular, a method of densifying a fibrous composition is disclosed, the method comprising: shearing a fiber source to provide a fibrous material; combining the fibrous material with a microorganism and/or enzyme to provide a fibrous material composition; encapsulating the composition in a substantially gas impermeable material; and removing entrapped gas from the encapsulated composition to densify the composition.

[Problem] A method for manufacturing a packaged medical device, which is capable of hermetically packaging a medical device in a low-oxygen atmosphere and also temporarily raising the oxygen concentration without requiring time management, is provided. [Means for Resolution] This method for manufacturing a packaged medical device includes a sealing step of preparing a packaging bag 20 having a first sub-chamber 21 and a second sub-chamber 22 that are separated from each other, the first sub-chamber 21 being caused to contain a medical device 10 and a deoxygenating agent 25 and then being sealed, and the second sub-chamber 22 being sealed in a higher oxygen concentration than that in the first sub-chamber 21, a communication step of causing the first sub-chamber 21 and the second sub-chamber 22 to communicate with each other, and an irradiation step of irradiating the packaging bag 20 with radiation after the communication step.

An X-ray source for producing soft X-rays, the X-ray source comprising: a cathode having an electron-emitting structure supported by a support structure, the electron-emitting structure being at least partially transparent to X-rays within a region bounded by the support structure;an anode having an X-ray emitting surface parallel to the electron-emitting structure of the cathode; and an electrically insulating spacer arranged between the anode and the cathode;wherein the electron-emitting structure of the cathode and the X-ray emitting surface of the anode are arranged such that, in use, the electron-emitting structure is operable to bombard the anode with electrons, causing X-rays to be emitted from the X-ray emitting surface and to pass through the cathode; and wherein the insulating spacer is arranged between the anode and the support structure of the cathode and projects beyond the support structure, across part of the anode,into the said region.

The present disclosure provides a surgical instrument including an end effector, a drive member movable to effectuate a motion in said end effector, a motor operable to move the drive member to effectuate the motion in the end effector and a bailout assembly operable to perform a mechanical bailout of the surgical instrument in response to a bailout error. The bailout assembly includes a bailout door, a bailout handle accessible through the bailout door. The bailout handle is operable to move the drive member to effectuate a bailout motion in the end effector. A controller includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to detect the bailout error. The processor is programed to stop the motor in response to the detection of the bailout error.
