  • Patent number: 11465794
    Abstract: A packaging line implemented for packaging a pre-filled syringe is disclosed having a NSD mounting station, a PFS delivery arrangement adapted to automatically deliver a pre-filled syringe to the NSD mounting station, and a NSD delivery arrangement adapted to automatically deliver a needle safety device to the NSD mounting station. The NSD mounting station is arranged to automatically assemble the needle safety device to the pre-filled syringe. A NSD visual inspection station is adapted to automatically identify a pre-filled syringe with an unfit needle safety device and to automatically eliminate the identified pre-filled syringe from the packaging line. A re-insertion station is further provided to receive a pre-filled syringe with a needle safety device and to automatically feed the received pre-filled syringe, preferably from a rejected secondary packaging, back into the packaging line, after the NSD mounting station and before the NSD visual inspection station.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8806873
    Abstract: A gas turbine plant has a compressor (2), a first combustion chamber (6) followed by a high pressure turbine (4), a second combustion chamber (10) and a low pressure turbine (5). In the first combustion chamber (6) a first gaseous fuel (8) is injected and combusted, generating first hot gases (9) that are at least partly expanded in the high pressure turbine (4), and in the second combustion chamber (10) a second fuel (11) is injected in the at least partly expanded hot gases generated in the first combustion chamber (6) and combusted, generating second hot gases (12) that are expanded in the low pressure turbine (5). In the first combustion chamber (6) water is also injected to increase the gas turbine plant power output. In the first combustion chamber (6) a water flow rate is injected compatible with a predetermined flame stability limit.
