Abstract:
The present invention relates to drug delivery device for dispensing of a predefined amount of a medicinal product, comprising: at least one housing component (2), a cartridge holder component (4) to receive a product-containing cartridge (3), the cartridge having a piston slidably arranged therein, a drive mechanism component operably engageable with the piston of the cartridge (3) for dispensing of a dose of the medicinal product, wherein at least one of said components (2, 4, 6) at least partially comprises a biodegradable plastic material comprising at least one additive adapted to modify a degradation process of the plastic material.
Abstract:
A needle remover (2) for removing a needle (3) from a holder (4) comprises a guiding member (8) which is suitable for receiving the needle (3), and a gripping means (31) which is suitable for gripping the needle (3) when the needle (3) is at least partly inserted in the guiding member (8) in an inserting direction (22), wherein the gripping means (31) is configured to rotate when the gripping means (31) is moved in the inserting direction (22) with respect to the guiding member (8) so that the gripped needle (3) is unscrewed from the holder (4) when the holder (4) is moved in the inserting direction (22) with respect to the guiding member (8).
Abstract:
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Verringerung der Menge der abzuspeichernden Werte (19-22) eines abgetasteten Signals (18). Ein Wert des Signals (18) wird gespeichert, wenn der Wert (19-22) außerhalb oder an der Grenze eines vorgegebenen Wertebereichs (23-25) liegt, dessen Größe durch einen oberen Grenzwert (27, 30, 34) und einen unteren Grenzwert (28, 31, 33) bestimmt ist. Erfindungsgemäß wird die Größe des Wertebereichs (23-25) ausgehend von einer vorgegebenen Anfangsgröße (26, 29, 32) des Wertebereichs während des Erfassens der Werte verändert, insbesondere stetig bis auf Null verkleinert.
Abstract:
An integrated sample testing meter, for instance for measuring blood, comprising a lancing device, an electrochemical sensor and a test strip cartridge disposed in a single modular housing. The test strip cartridge includes a stack of test strips suitable for performing an electrochemical or photometric analysis of a blood sample. The integrated test system automatically dispenses and positions a test strip in proximity to a lancet puncture site, automatically transfers a blood sample to the test strip from the lancet puncture site and automatically analyzes the blood sample after the test strip collects the sample from the puncture site.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the parallel production of hydrogen and of one or more carbon-containing products. In the method, hydrocarbons are introduced into a reaction chamber (R) and are thermally decomposed into carbon and hydrogen in the presence of a carbon-rich granulated material (W). The invention is characterised in that at least a portion of the thermal energy necessary for the decomposition of the hydrocarbon is introduced into the reaction chamber (R) via a gaseous heat transfer medium.
Abstract:
A component 110 for a drug delivery device 100 comprises a key validation part 112, 114 and a safety part 116. The key validation part 112 is configured to interact with a key part 113 of another component 120 of the drug delivery device during the assembly of the drug delivery device 100. In order to support the use of matching components, the safety part 116 is configured to have a different impact if the key part 122 is matched to the key validation part 112, 114 compared to if the key part 122 is not matched to the key validation part 112, 114.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a packaging for a medical device comprising a casing (10; 30) adapted to at least partially receive and/or to accommodate the medical device (12) featuring at least one user-driven function, wherein the casing (10; 30) comprises at least one functional element (16; 26, 28) adapted to imitate the at least one function of the medical device (12).
Abstract:
Vorgeschlagen wird ein Verfahren zur Gasphasenhydrierung eines Kohlenwasserstoffstromes, der unter Normalbedingungen flüssig ist, und der unter den Reaktionsbedingungen der Gasphasenhydrierung polymerisierbare Komponenten enthält, bei gegenüber Normalbedingungen erhöhter Temperatur und erhöhtem Druck, in Gegenwart eines heterogenen Katalysators, wobei der Kohlenwasserstoffstrom vor der Zuführung zum heterogenen Katalysator verdampft wird und dabei Flüssigkeitströpfchen mitgerissen werden, das dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass der gasförmige Kohlenwasserstoffstrom enthaltend Flüssigkeitströpfchen vor der Zuführung zum heterogenen Katalysator über einen Zentrifugaltröpfchenscheider (Z) geleitet wird, wobei Flüssigkeitströpfchen mit einem mittleren Durchmesser ≥ 5 μm abgeschieden werden.
