  • Publication number: 20200081594
    Abstract: An improved user interface is provided for displaying selectable software functionality controls and for presenting logical groupings of particular functionality controls associated with a selected top-level functionality. Underneath a row of top-level functionality tabs, functionalities controls associated with a given top-level functionality tab are presented in logical groupings. Selection of a particular tab switches modes of the user interface to present controls for functionalities associated with the selected tab.

  • Publication number: 20200012553
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processing operations that enable use of cache memory for content validation and error remediation of content. Functionality of the cache is extended to enable interfacing between a cache and a validation component, which is configured to validate data read directly from the cache. Corrupted content may be updated and propagated to a permanent data store associated with an application/service, system, etc. Use of the cache may be optimal for targeting recent and/or heavily accessed content as well as a means for offloading data processing operations from a permanent data storage. Examples described herein extend to those in which data associated with an electronic file is already stored in cache memory as well as those in which update occurs directly to a permanent data storage and subsequently forwarded for validation processing.

  • Publication number: 20190388614
    Abstract: The invention relates to an insertion device comprising—a penetrating member (50) connected to transformation means (52), —a moving part (38) comprising guiding means (39) which guiding means (39) restrict the movement of the transformation means (52) and guide the penetrating member (50) from a first to a second position in a first direction, i.e. the direction of insertion, towards the injection site, and—a stationary housing (30) comprising guiding means (32) which guiding means (32) restrict the movement of the moving part (38). The guiding means (32) guide the moving part (38) in a second direction which is linear and different from the first direction i.e. the direction of insertion.

  • Patent number: 9889097
    Abstract: The invention relates to a novel powder, it's method of manufacture and the use thereof in powder material processing, particularly in the manufacture of components formed from compacted powder e.g. discs, monoliths, layers or tablets. The powders comprise coated host particles wherein over 70% of the mass of the powder comprises coated particles smaller than 100 microns. The powders have particular application in the pharmaceutical industry and the technology described can be used to control the properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The powders (10) may comprise drug particles (12), carrier particles (14) and additives (16).

  • Patent number: 9872593
    Abstract: A tipping method for a tipping arrangement which includes a first element (1) and a second element (2), arranged between a moveable base unit (4) and a rotatable container (3). The container (3) is rotated by moving the second element (2) along a first track (7) on the first element (1). The second element (2) is moved along the track (7) by rotating the second element (2) relative to the first element (1). A number of engaging parts (9, 10) may be arranged on the tracks (7, 8) of the elements (1, 2), respectively. An interlocking arrangement may be arranged between the first element (1) and the second element (2) to secure the second element (2) in a starting position. A movable unit includes the tipping arrangement and a section unit, with the container (3) locked in a vertical position by a locking arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20170357392
    Abstract: An improved user interface is provided for displaying selectable software functionality controls that are relevant to a selected object and that remain visibly available for use while the selected object is being edited. Upon selection of a particular object for editing, functionality available for editing the object is presented in a ribbon-shaped user interface above the software application workspace to allow the user ready and efficient access to functionality needed for editing the selected object. The display of relevant functionality controls is persisted until the user dismisses the display, selects another top-level functionality control or selects another object for editing.
