DISPOSITIVO DE TRANSFERENCIA DE FLUIDOS QUE INCLUYE UNA PARED FUNDIBLE, ABSORBENTE DE ENERGIA RADIANTE

摘要

A fluid transfer member (10) has a radiant energy absorbing wall (14) which melts in response to the application of radiant energy. In accordance with the invention, the melt characteristics of the wall (14) are optimized to the greatest possible extend by providing the wall (14) with a density, or opacity, to the applied radiant energy which lies in a range of between about 3 and about 12. The density is determined by multiplying the wall's radiant energy absorbance by the thickness of the wall (14).
