Abstract: The invention relates to a method of operating an apparatus for applying drinking straws to packaging containers. The method comprises e.g. the step of adjusting the pitch, between the packaging containers being fed to an application device, by means of a pitch control device upstream the application device, such that the pitch becomes substantially equal between succeeding packaging containers and equal for all packaging sizes with an operational range of packaging sizes. The invention also relates to an apparatus being operated according to the method.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention enable sensing the presence and concentration of molecules such as electrolytes, biomarkers, chemically defined drugs and proteins in transdermal and cell interstitial body fluids. Today, these tests are generally performed by blood extraction in a clinic environment and a later analysis resulting in inconvenience to the patient, high cost, the need for specialized personnel and a delay in the results. The present invention enables performing those tests at a low cost, by non-specialized personnel or the patient him(her)self, in a home or clinic environment and provides near real time results that get communicated to the patient and authorized clinician. The invention achieves that by describing an innovative product architecture that integrating micro-needles with micro-sensors in a low cost disposable unit, a specially designed applicator for ease of use and automated wireless transmission and data analytics.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for marshalling objects into groups on a single, driven conveyor. The conveyor has two end rollers and at least one deflector roller positioned at the lower part of the conveyor. The apparatus also includes an end stop positioned at the one end roller of the conveyor as well as a stop plate disposed to move up and down, at 90° in relation to the conveyor. The conveyor further has a deflection point placed at the upper part of the conveyor. The conveyor is disposed to be slanted downwards from this deflection point in that the end roller is moved downwards.

Abstract: A bridge support (1, 60, 90, 140) for arrangement to an implant (2) has a surface abutting (30) the implant (2), and a first compressible sealing (31) integrally made with said surface (30). The bridge support (1, 60, 90, 140) has a through channel (33) ending at said surface and is shaped so that a shoulder (34) is formed inside said channel (33), and has a second compressible sealing (35) integrally made with said shoulder (33). According to a second embodiment the bridge support (1, 60, 90, 140) has external protrusion at an outside (160) integrally made with the bridge support (1, 60, 90, 140). A screw (3, 250) for fastening the bridge support (1, 60, 90, 140) to an implant has a head (230, 252) with an abutment surface (231) and a stem (232, 252), and has a compressible sealing (237) integrally made with said abutment surface (230).

Abstract: A bonnet bumpstop for use on an automotive vehicle is formed with a first component having a support part for supporting a bonnet on the vehicle in the vertical direction during normal operation when the bonnet is closed against the automotive frame, a second component attachable to the vehicle frame, and a member interconnecting the first and second components to each other. When the bonnet bumpstop incurs a force greater than a predetermined value, such as a force transmitted from a bonnet to the bonnet bumpstop, the bonnet bumpstop is collapsible by substantially instantaneous neutralizing of the interconnection between the first component and the second component. At least a part of the first component, including said support part, is then freed to be move relative to the second component so as to allow the bonnet to move downwardly in case of an impact between an object and the bonnet.

Abstract: In a multi-carrier system employing OFDM, for example DMT, an adaptive channel equalizer is normally used, operating in the frequency domain. The sampling clock is controlled so that the time delay between the transmitter and the receiver is effectively eliminated. If the information used to control the sampling clock is received from the equalized data stream, it will introduce an ambiguity between the operation of the channel equalizer and the mechanism used to control the sampling clock. Operation of the equalizer can mask an increasing time difference, between transmitter and receiver, which the sample clock controller should be tracking. The present invention eliminates the ambiguities in the operation of the equalizer and sample clock controller by preventing the equalizer accepting time differences which should be corrected by operation of the sample clock controller.
