Abstract: An adapter for coupling with medical vials has a housing with a center longitudinal axis. The adapter includes first latching portions on an inner circumference for latching to a first closing cover of a first vial, and second latching portions on the inner circumference for latching to a second closing cover of a second vial. The second closing cover has a larger diameter than the first closing cover. The housing has web portions and spring arm portions extending between the web portions and on which the first latching portions are arranged. The housing is elastically deformable from a first state, in which the spring arm portions latch with the first latching cover, into a second state, in which the spring arm portions allow a latching connection between the second latching portions and the second closing cover. The adapter device can be used in infusion therapy.

Abstract: A method of generating customizable goal representation is disclosed. A request from a user to view a goal representation is received. A flexible goal ontology is accessed that comprises one or more goal entities, one or more goal relationships between the goal entities, or one or more goal properties, the one or more goal properties including one or more metadata attributes relating to the one or more goal entities. A set of mapping rules is obtained that defines mappings between one or more goals. The set of mapping rules is evaluated to assemble a customized goal representation tailored to the user. The customized goal representation is updated based on a revaluation of the mapping rules affected by changes to the one or more goal entities, the one or more goal relationships, or the one or more properties.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of sustainably producing an aquaculture meat product by feeding a fish over its dietary cycles an aquaculture feed composition, said method comprising the step of formulating an aquaculture feed composition by replacing all or part of fish oil in the composition with a single microbial source of eicosapentaenoic acid (“EPA”) and docosahex-aenoic acid (“DHA”). In a preferred embodiment, the microbial source comprising DHA and EPA derives from a microorganism/microbe of the genus Schizochytrium or Thraustochytrium.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a drug delivery arrangement including a drug delivery device for dispensing a liquid drug from a reservoir an electronic module. The delivery device includes a device housing and a movable member. The electronic module is releasably attachable to the device housing and includes a module housing, an actuator and an engaging member movable, by the actuator, relative to the module housing. The engaging member can be brought into engagement with the movable member such that a movement of one of the engaging member or the movable member causes a movement of the other of the movable member or the engaging member when the electronic module is attached to the drug delivery device.

The autonomous industrial truck claimed according to the invention is able, by means of the implemented navigation, load receiving and load placing methods, to ensure efficient transporting of loads. The invention relates to an autonomous industrial truck having a rearwardly-directed sensor unit for detecting the load and the loading environment and implemented process sequences for approaching the load, receiving the load and placing the load.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of conducting a sleep analysis by collecting physiologic and kinetic data from a subject, preferably via a wireless in-home data acquisition system, while the subject attempts to sleep at home. The sleep analysis, including clinical and research sleep studies and cardiorespiratory studies, can be used in the diagnosis of sleeping disorders and other diseases or conditions with sleep signatures, such as Parkinson's, epilepsy, chronic heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, or other neurological, cardiac, pulmonary, or muscular disorders. The method of the present invention can also be used to determine if environmental factors at the subject's home are preventing restorative sleep.

Abstract: A display system of an aircraft includes a display device defining a display area, a vision system for generating an image of an operating environment of the aircraft on the display area, data processors operatively coupled to the display device and the vision system, and non-transitory machine-readable memory operatively coupled to the one or more data processors and storing instructions executable by the one or more processors and configured to cause the one or more processors to, when a condition of the aircraft is met, cause an alteration of a display of flight information on the display area to declutter a cutout region in the image generated by the vision system, the cutout region devoid of imaging generated by the vision system and displaying an Approach Lighting System (ALS) of a runway of intended landing for the aircraft.
