An aerosol valve actuator with a valve stem engaging portion, product dispensing opening, and flexible and expandable product conduit between the engaging portion and dispensing opening. The product conduit is molded at least in part of a first expandable flexible plastic material softer than a second plastic material of the remainder of the actuator. The remainder of the actuator is first molded, followed by molding the first plastic material to form at least a part of the product conduit. After the actuator has been actuated to dispense a foaming product and actuation ceases, the post-foaming product expands within the product conduit since the conduit expands to absorb the product expansion. Actuator cap and base product dispensing side openings align only during valve actuation. Base inwardly flexible members and cap internal ramps bias the cap upwardly when actuation ceases.

Methods and constructs including a fixation device and a suture for fixation of soft tissue to bone, or of soft tissue to soft tissue, which amplifies the body's healing response created by the introduction of the suture material and the material properties of the fixation device. Fixation of soft tissue to bone (or of soft tissue to soft tissue) is conducted using a suture (for example, a suture strand, braid, a suture tape, or a combination thereof) and a fixation device (for example, a bone anchor, implant or screw). The suture and fixation device are manufactured from materials that have properties to amplify the body's healing response. Materials such as synthetic bioresorbable polymers (for example, poly-lactic acid) are utilized in the fabrication of orthopedic fixation devices. Once these materials are introduced into the body and are exposed to in vivo conditions, the devices manufactured with these materials undergo hydrolysis and degrade while maintaining specific mechanical properties over time.

Methods using vane electrostatic precipitators collect charged and uncharged particles with vane assemblies that are physically arranged to reduce the air flow rate to at or below 1.0 ft / sec (0.305 m / sec). In preferred embodiments, the main entrained air is divided into smaller proportions by using a plurality of vane assemblies in a vane electrostatic precipitator operating at a specific angle that have discharge electrodes in front of the vanes. This results in both the particles being charged and the flow rate of the air and articles being reduced as they traverse between vanes and over the vane surface. The vane width, operating angle, vane length and vane offset are designed to reduce the air flow rate. As a result, at the ends of the vanes, a high percentage of the air flow is less than 1 ft / s. This allows the particles that are discharged from the vanes during operation to fall by gravity and in the direction of lower air flow, resulting in extremely low re-entrainment and efficient particle collection.
