Abstract:
The present invention relates to a packaging for a medical device comprising a casing adapted to at least partially receive and/or to accommodate the medical device featuring at least one user-driven function, wherein the casing comprises at least one functional element adapted to imitate the at least one function of the medical device.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a vending apparatus for at least one medicinal product, comprising of a housing, storage means adapted to store the at least one medicinal product, an input means adapted to process a costumer request for a medicinal product, processing means adapted to process the costumer request and being adapted to execute an interactive product-related training procedure to the customer, and delivery means for handing out the medicinal product to the costumer after passing the training procedure, wherein access to the medicinal product is only approved by the processing means if the customer successfully passes the training procedure.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an ergonomic drive mechanism for a drug delivery device comprising: a housing (36), an axially displaceable piston rod (12) to act on a piston (18) of a cartridge (16) containing a medicinal product to be dispensed, an actuating member (26) operably engageable with the piston rod (12) and being slidably disposed relative to the housing (36) between a distal and a proximal stop position along a displacement path, wherein the actuating member's displacement path is inclined with respect to the longitudinal extension of the piston rod (12).
Abstract:
Query-correction pairs can be extracted from search log data. Each query-correction pair can include an original query and a follow-up query, where the follow-up query meets one or more criteria for being identified as a correction of the original query, such as an indication of user input indicating the follow-up query is a correction for the original query. The query-correction pairs can be segmented to identify bi-phrases in the query-correction pairs. Probabilities of corrections between the bi-phrases can be estimated based on frequencies of matches in the query-correction pairs. Identifications of the bi-phrases and representations of the probabilities of those bi-phrases can be stored in a probabilistic model data structure.
Abstract:
A multi-lingual search and display system and/or methodology. The system providing a single point of access to information in multiple languages by executing a query against a set of targets, where the set of targets can include continents, countries, regions, geographic areas, languages, cultures, economies, markets, and so forth. Additionally, the subject invention translates the resulting documents and renders the translated results in a single view.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for storing process signals of a plant or technical installation. A compression method is adapted for a current operating state of the plant is applied to the set of process signals in accordance with the current operating state of the plant and a compressed process signal set which is determined during the application of the compression method is stored.
Abstract:
A liquid-impregnated shaped foam article consisting ofa) from 1 to 10% by volume of an open-cell foam based on an aminoplast andb) from 90 to 99% by volume of a component which is liquid at 25° C., such as aromatic or aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, ketones, water or aqueous dispersions, and the uses thereof for transporting or metering liquids, for cleavage through freezing, for energy absorption of projectiles or as latent heat stores.
Abstract:
An apparatus (1) for erasing a storage phosphor layer (2) includes a radiation source (8) for producing and emitting erasing radiation, a drive (5) for producing a relative movement between the storage phosphor layer (2) and the radiation source (8), the storage phosphor layer (2) lying or being moved in a holding plane (7), and a reflector (11) for reflecting radiation. The reflector (11) is arranged and designed to reflect erasing radiation reflected by the storage phosphor layer (2) in the direction of the storage phosphor layer (2). A further reflecting surface (31) is provided for reflecting erasing radiation which is positioned opposite the reflector (11), as considered in a direction at right angles to the direction (6) of the relative movement.
