Abstract: An administration device for in particular intravitreal administration of a fluid, the administration device having a preferably pre-filled syringe and an actuation mechanism for actuating the syringe. The administration device preferably includes a priming device, in particular in addition to the actuation mechanism. It is preferably prevented that the priming device be advanced beyond a defined end position. The syringe can preferably be moved within a housing of the administration device and/or positioned completely inside the housing.

Abstract: A method for controlling a vapor compression system, in particular an opening degree of an expansion valve. According to a first control strategy, the expansion valve is closed until the superheat value has increased above a lower threshold superheat value. According to a second control strategy, the expansion valve is kept open until the suction pressure has increased above a lower threshold suction pressure value. In the case of low superheat value as well as low suction pressure, the second control strategy is selected for a limited period of time.

Abstract: A method for controlling a vapor compression system during start-up is disclosed. The rate of change, ?T1, of the temperature of refrigerant entering the evaporator, and the rate of change, ?T2, of the temperature of refrigerant leaving the evaporator are compared. Based on the comparing step, a refrigerant filling state of the evaporator is determined. The opening degree of the expansion device is then controlled according to a first control strategy in the case that it is determined that the evaporator is full or almost full, and according to a second control strategy in the case that it is determined that the evaporator is not full. Thereby it is ensured that a maximum filling degree of the evaporator is quickly reached, without risking that liquid refrigerant passes through the evaporator.

Abstract: A hydraulic control system (1) has a hydraulic motor (10), which is connected with a control valve (2) via two working lines (8, 9), the control valve (2) being connected with a low-pressure connection (T) and, via a compensation valve (4), with a high-pressure connection (P), to ensure that a return compensation valve (14, 15) is arranged in each working line, each return compensation valve (14, 15) having a nominal flow line (29), which extends unintersectedly in relation to the nominal flow line (28) of the compensation valve (4).
