Abstract: A linear actuator especially for adjustable furniture comprises a spindle (16) with a spindle nut (16a) for bringing about the adjustment of the article of furniture. At the end of the spindle (16) there is a bearing (17) for mounting of this in the actuator. The spindle/spindle nut (16,16a) is driven by an electric motor (27) through a transmission (28). For preventing accidents and/or damage during the adjustment of the article of furniture the actuator is equipped with a squeeze protection based on a piezo element (22). This piezo element (22) is arranged in connection with the bearing (17) for registering the forces or deflections of the forces affecting the spindle (16). In that the piezo element (22) has a through-going hole for the spindle the mounting of the piezo element (22) is simplified and further it has turned out that a particularly good signal/noise ratio is obtained.

Abstract: A method of bioassay for the quantification of peptide fragments comprising a neo-epitope formed by cleavage ofmimecan, a protein of an atherosclerotic plaque, by a proteinase, said comprises contacting a sample such as urine or serum with an antibody reactive with the neo-epitope and determining the level of binding of said immunological binding partner to peptide fragments in said sample. The assay is predictive of risk of cardiovascular disease events.
Abstract: A method for regulating the flow of a viscosity-dependent liquid in a graphic process, including a pump (5) configured for pumping a viscosity-dependent liquid (3) from a first container (4) and to a graphic printing machine (1), and wherein the viscosity of the liquid (3) affects operation of the pump (5), a sensor (8) connected with the pump (5) and which is configured to measure at least one of the operational parameters of the pump (5), and a controller (9) connected with the sensor (8) and which is configured to analyze the data from the sensor (8). The controller (9) determines the viscosity of the liquid (3) from the measured operational parameters of the pump (5) and generates a control signal (17) from the measured viscosity, based on which the viscosity of the liquid (3) pumped through the pump (5) can be adjusted.

Abstract: An frequency shift keying (FSK) transceiver for use in a hearing aid is capable of automatic tuning of the transceiver frequency. The automatic tuning makes use of a phase difference detector and a tuning manager adapted to control the frequency of a resonant circuit of the FSK transceiver according to information received from the phase difference detector. The phase difference detector measures the phase difference across a component of the resonant circuit of the FSK transceiver. If the phase difference of a binary FSK symbol is equal to the phase difference of the opposite binary FSK symbol, the resonant circuit is tuned, otherwise the tuning manager performs a tuning procedure in order to minimize the difference in phase differences, and adjusts the frequency of the resonant circuit accordingly.
