  • Patent number: 7255123
    Abstract: The invention Described is a device (1) for dividing a stream of particulate or pulverulent material into at least two substreams. The device has a housing (2) with a substantially vertical inlet duct (3) and two or more outlet ducts (4, 5, 6, 7) emanating from separate openings, and being separated by partition walls (9) extending radially relative to the centreline of the inlet duct (3). The device also has a rotor 11) which is located in immediate extension of the inlet duct (3), with its axis of rotation coinciding with the centreline (10) of the inlet duct. The rotor (11) has a radially configured surface (11a) for directing the falling material stream radially outwards into the free space (12) above the outlet ducts. The device is peculiar in that the radial partition walls (9) can be adjusted in the circumferential direction. The result will be a freely variable ratio between an arbitrary number of outlet substreams.

  • Publication number: 20070183464
    Abstract: The invention relates to an article comprising a length of an optical fibre and a package, the optical fibre comprising a fibre Bragg grating dispersed over a FBG-section of the length of the optical fibre, the package comprising a carrier with a carrier surface for supporting at least a supported part of the optical fibre including the FBG-section. The invention further relates to an apparatus comprising the article, to its use and to a method of manufacturing such an article. The object of the present invention is to seek to provide an optimized (e.g. elongate) package having a relatively low sensitivity to mechanical vibrations from the environment. This is achieved by providing that the carrier surface for supporting the optical fibre comprising a fibre Bragg grating is convex in a longitudinal direction of the optical fibre during use of the article.

  • Publication number: 20070186130
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a reduced size format for transmission packet header wherein a source address is encoded together with a check code in a medical device. The packet header thus contains one single field now in place of two i.e. the check code and source address. At the receiving end, the receiver looks up the sender address from the session descriptor table, calculates the check code and then performs the same encoding with the address and the check code, thus authenticating and validating the packet.

  • Publication number: 20070183610
    Abstract: A directional hearing aid (100) comprising at least two microphones (201, 202) has means (200) for matching differences in amplitude and phase between the two microphones (201, 202). The microphone matching means (200) compare differences between measured transfer functions of the microphone signal paths at a number of frequencies during use of the hearing aid (100), compares the differences to differences at similar frequencies in a model of the transfer functions of the microphone signal paths, derives a set of parameters based on the comparison, and adjusts the parameters in order to minimize the difference in level differences between the model and the microphones (201, 202). The model is then used to match the microphones (201, 202) mutually by applying appropriate control parameters (103, 104, 105, 106) to an adaptive matching filter (108) carrying one of the microphone signals.

  • Patent number: 7252845
    Abstract: Novel compositions of matter containing aromatic compounds and terpenoids which are present in and may preferably be derived from the plant Alpinia galanga (Zingiberaceae) show synergistic effects with respect to immunomodulation, and they significantly suppress hypersensitivity reactions. Thus they are used for preparing medicaments for these purposes and, more specifically, for the treatment or prevention of IgE mediated allergic reactions and conditions, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic eczema or anaphylaxis, and autoimmune disorders, such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis, as well as for the alleviation of pain. They can for example be formulated into pharmaceuticals, cosmetics or dietary supplements. A method of preparing such compositions from Alpinia galanga is also described.

    Abstract: An electroacoustic transducer comprising a magnetic circuit of a magnetically conductive material with a pair of opposed surfaces defining a gap there between, the magnetic circuit comprising one magnet. The magnet can either be positioned in the center of the magnetically conductive material so as to form two gaps. In an alternative embodiment the magnet is attached to the magnetic conductive material forming only one gap. The transducer further comprises a diaphragm and a coil system having electrically conducting paths fastened to the diaphragm. The coil system has portions of its paths situated in the gap. The transducer may be supplied with an additional diaphragm and coil system positioned on the opposite side of the magnetic circuit. In a preferred embodiment the transducer is rectangular. The transducer is suited for integration into miniature components such as mobile communication equipment and hearing aids.
