Abstract: Disclosed is an intrauterine system (100, 300, 400, 500, 600) comprising a frame (102, 302, 402, 502, 602), a removal thread (218, 326, 436, 626) and at least one pharmaceutically active agent. The frame has a first end (104, 304, 404, 504, 604), a second end (106, 306, 406, 506, 606) and a length L. The first end of the frame comprises a first locking part (108, 308, 408, 508, 608) and the second end of the frame comprises a second locking part (110, 310, 410, 510, 610), the first locking part and the second locking part being arranged to form a lock (202, 312, 432). The removal thread is attached to the first end of the frame. The removal thread is configured to guide the first locking part to the second locking part. Further, disclosed is a kit comprising the aforementioned intrauterine system and an inserter.

Abstract: A touch panel (10) includes a first planar substrate (30) for receiving tactile contact from one or more objects. The first planar substrate (30) is operable to guide light radiation (310) therein by total internal reflection (TIR), wherein electronic circuits (220) are provided to transmit and detect the light radiation (310) guided within the first planar substrate (30) and to detect spatial positions of the tactile contact (40) of the one or more objects by a corresponding disturbance in the light radiation (310) propagating within the first planar substrate (30). The electronic circuits (220) are implemented by way of printed and/or deposited electronic elements onto at least one of: a trim (200) of the touch panel (10), the first planar substrate (30), a second planar protective substrate (20) which is operable to provide protection to the electronic circuits (220).

Abstract: An approach is provided for associating one or more content identifiers with respective keywords. While a user is using a text editing application, the input is monitored to determine when one of the respective keywords is entered. In response, the one or more associated content identifiers are suggested as hyperlinks for that keyword within the message. If the user accepts one of the suggested content identifiers, then an appropriate hyperlink is created.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product pre-calculate navigational routes to points of interest on a digital map so that route directions to a selected point of interest can be presented immediately when the user makes the selection while in motion and coupons and special offers can be provided related to those points of interest. In parallel with motion along a principal direction, the navigation device pre-calculates routes to points of interest before they become visible within the viewport of the device, so that the pre-calculated routes can be presented immediately if the user selects the point of interest.

Abstract: When drying a web-formed material, the web-formed material is passed, in contact with a gas-permeable dryer screen, through a drying plant. One or more fans blow hot process air against, and through, the web-formed material in order to dry it. A chamber, surrounding the fan or the fans, has a limiting surface that is essentially parallel to the surface of the web-formed material. This limiting surface has an opening that extends essentially across the whole width of the web-formed material. A distributing member, in the form of an arcuate perforated, sheet-formed element, placed outside the chamber, covers the opening completely. With the distributing member a first flow of process air is divided into a large number of jets, distributed over essentially the whole of the angular area that faces the web-formed material.

Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for separating particles disposed in a carrier gas being delivered from a distributor to a moving web including a roller, a supply conduit for supplying the particles dispersed in the carrier gas substantially tangentially to the roller at a first speed, the roller rotating at a second speed which is substantially greater than the first speed whereby the particles are separated from the carrier gas, the roller including a discharge opening for discharging the particles toward the moving web and a return line for recycling the carrier gas. A method for separating particles dispersed in a carrier gas is also disclosed.

Abstract: A cyclone for treating a gas flow (F) containing dust comprises a cyclone chamber (1) of circular cross section and having a vertical axis, and a central tube (7) of circular cross section, which is coaxially arranged in the upper portion of the cyclone chamber (1). An elongated insert element (10), which is vertically inserted in the central tube (7), is so designed and extends in such a manner downwards in the central tube (7) from the upper end thereof that a circumferential gap (17) exists between the insert element (10) and the central tube (7). This gap (17) has a preferably constant cross-sectional area which does not increase in the direction of the gas flow.

Abstract: The invention relates to a snow push scoop (2) of plastic comprising a bottom portion, side portions and a rear portion. A tubular hollow (4) is formed inside an upper edge of the rear portion of the scoop (2), i.e. inside the rear edge (2c). The rear edge (2c) of the scoop (2) is then rigid, and no transverse tube is needed for a handle (3) of the snow push (1), for instance. Further, the scoop (2) has a light structure and the snow push (1) as a whole is simple to manufacture.

Abstract: The invention relates to a suction box for a central vacuum system, comprising a cover part (1) designed to be mounted against the exterior surface of a wall, a counterpart (2) of the cover part, designed to be mounted inside the wall, and a 90.degree. suction bend (3) designed to bend the suction tube inside the wall to a direction parallel to the plane of the wall. According to the invention, the counterpart (2) and the auction bend (3) constitute a solid integral body (4) comprising a supporting surface (5) resting against the interior surface of the wall board, a round-shaped mounting flange (6) raised from the supporting surface and designed to be placed in a hole in the wall, and curved and elongated attachment areas (7) to which the cover part (1) can be fastened.
