Abstract: A method for detecting the on and off states of a Parkinson patient, including obtaining inertial data from a patient and verifying if the patient is in an on or off state by using a transformation of the obtained inertial data which uses a model derived from a set of stored data referred to patients in on state and patients in off state.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for washing of eggs in order to remove adhering dirt in which egg transport means and egg guiding means are present. The egg transport means and egg guiding means cooperate and form egg rotation means which cause an egg to rotate substantially around its shortest main axis; dirt removal is achieved with use of one or more brushes and a washing liquid. The egg's longest main axis thereby remains substantially in a plane parallel to the direction of transport of the eggs, said plane being perpendicular to the plane going through the centerlines of the egg guiding means.

Abstract: An automatic transfer machine having a plurality of machining units on a common table top with tool carriers above and a common drive below the table top connected through openings in the table top by distributor gears connecting the common drive with intermediate shafts, which shafts are arranged at approximately at right angles relative to the plane of the table top. Universal joint shafts which are telescopically extensible extend through each of the table top openings connecting intermediate shafts from below the table top to step down gears and control elements above the table top.

Abstract: A machining unit with a working spindle supported in a spindle housing and a saddle on which the spindle housing is removably secured and which is guided on a saddle carrier for sliding movement axially of the working spindle to cause the working spindle to be moved by feed motions, and with a drive motor secured to the saddle carrier and a transmission driven by the drive motor, the transmission having a hollow shaft in which the working spindle is guided for axial sliding movement and for rotation by the hollow shaft supported in a holder adjustable and lockable relative to the saddle carrier in two directions perpendicular to the axial direction of the working spindle.
