Automation may be controlled through a hierarchical system, allowing easy and efficient playlist editing and media control. In another aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a playout server for retrieving or receiving content from a network or cloud based storage, and playing content according to an automated playlist received from a media distribution and management system.
Abstract:
Rotary metering valve (200) with a valve inlet (260), a valve outlet (270) and a rotary valve member (280) for transferring a metered dose of aerosol formulation from the inlet to the outlet, wherein the rotary valve member is provided with an inlet port (290) and an outlet port (300), both in communication with a metering conduit (310) in the rotary valve member, the rotary valve member in sequence being rotatable between at least three positions: -inlet position where the inlet port is in communication with the valve inlet and aerosol formulation enters the metering conduit, -metering position where both ports are closed preserving a metered volume of aerosol formulation in the metering conduit, -outlet position where the outlet port is in communication with the valve outlet and the metered dose of aerosol formulation is dispensed from the valve.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a wheel cover (10). More specifically, the invention relates to an advertising wheel cover (10) having a wheel mount (12) for push fitting into a vehicle wheel rim (102) and a display disc (60) rotatably mounted to the wheel mount (12) by bayonet-type connectors (32, 66). The display disc (60) is off-centre weighted so as to remain in a substantially upright and static orientation relative to the wheel mount (12), which is rotatable with the wheel (104).
Abstract:
Method of detecting a potentially void inhaler can valve (30), which valve (30) is attached to a can (10) by a ferrule crimp (80), comprising the steps: placing the can (10) in a can jig (220) that is arranged to retain the can (10) at a predetermined measurement height with respect to a diameter measuring means (230),measuring the diameter of the ferrule crimp (80) at the predetermined height, and comparing the measured crimp diameter with a predefined interval of acceptance, and if the measured diameter is outside a predefined interval classifying the inhaler can valve (30) as potentially void. There is also provided a crimp diameter measuring device (200) comprising: a base (210), a diameter measuring means (230) supported by the base (210), and a can jig (220) supported by the base (210), the can jig (220) being arranged to retain a can (10) placed therein at a predetermined measurement height with respect to a diameter measuring means (230).
Abstract:
Device for measuring valve alignment of a pressurized metered dose inhaler canister, comprising an extended pointer arranged in alignment with a first canister member, and an extended reference member arranged in alignment with a second canister member, wherein the reference member is provided with visual alignment indicator means indicative of the relative alignment of the extended pointer and the reference member at a distance from the canister members.
Abstract:
Bague (10) destinée à être disposée autour d'un corps de valve (21 ) d'une valve de distribution d'aérosol (20) montée, au moyen d'un élément de fixation (50), tel qu'une capsule sertissable, sur un réservoir (1) contenant du produit à distribuer, ladite bague (10) comportant au moins une partie interne (11, 11') coopérant avec ledit corps de valve (21), et une partie externe (15), ladite bague (10) étant réalisée en une pièce monobloc sensiblement rigide, ladite partie externe (15) étant adaptée à coopérer de manière étanche par déformation de matière avec une partie du réservoir (1) lors de l'assemblage de l'élément de fixation (50) sur le réservoir (1).
Abstract:
Inhaler valve (30) comprising a gathering ring (70) comprised of a non-elastomeric polymer -material, wherein at least one annular section (110, 140, 160, 180) of the gathering ring (70) is formed to be deformable in the radial direction in order to absorb over compression of the ring outer periphery when crimping the valve (30) onto a container (20). There is also provided an inhaler container (10) with such an inhaler valve.
Abstract:
The invention relates to testing apparatus (1) for testing a container (2) of a suspension of a substance (3). The substance may in particular, but not solely, comprise a pharmaceutical substance. The substance (3) is suspended in a propellant (4), which is under pressure. The container (2) itself comprises a body (5), which defines a chamber and has a valve stem (6), which extends from a head of the body. A metering chamber is selectively communicable, by means of the valve stem, with the atmosphere and the chamber (7). The valve stem providing via a L-shaped conduit, which extends between the free end and the side wall thereof the outlet of the container (2) through which metered doses of the substance are released from the container (2). The testing apparatus (1) includes a gallery (8) for communicating, in use, in a fluid-tight manner with the said valve stem and actuating means, in use, actuating the valve stem so as to discharge a metered dose of substance and/or propellant into the gallery, repeatedly if necessary, until the pressure within the gallery is substantially equalised with the pressure within the container (2). The testing apparatus further includes pressure-measuring means (9) in communication with said gallery to provide a measurement of the pressure therein and hence the pressure within the container (2).
