Abstract: This invention concerns a tube filling apparatus (10). The apparatus includes a base (40) and a filling assembly (20) mountable on the base (40). The filling assembly (20) has a number of tube receiving recesses wherein tubes may, in use, be received. The apparatus (10) further includes a vibration plate (32) which is locatable between the base (40) and the filling assembly (20). In use, the tubes rest on the vibration plate (32) when they are located in the recesses. The apparatus (10) may also include transducer such as a speaker which is connected to the vibration plate (32) for, in use, vibrating the vibration plate (32), which is capable of moving independently from the filling assembly (20). This invention also concerns a method of filling tubes.

Abstract: A supporting device for supporting a cloth element, for example a camouflage net. The supporting device (1) comprises a hollow rod (4), at least one supporting element (12) and an attachment device (50). The supporting element (12) is attached at a proximal end (16) to the attachment device (50). The supporting element (12) can assume the following positions:—a first, retracted position where the supporting element (12) is at least partly mounted inside the hollow rod (4), and—a second, extended position where a distal end (18) of the supporting element (12) is arranged at a distance out from the central longitudinal axis of the hollow rod (4).

Abstract: A reagent for conjugation to a biomolecule, wherein the reagent is a single molecule with at least three functional parts and has schematic structure (I): a) wherein a trifunctional cross-linking moiety is coupled to b) an affinity ligand via a linker 1, said affinity ligand being capable of binding with another molecule having affinity for said ligand, to c) an effector agent, optionally via a linker 2, said effector agent exerting its effect on cells, tissues and/or humorous molecules in vivo or ex vivo, and to d) a biomolecule reactive moiety, optionally via a linker 3, said moiety being capable of forming a bond between the reagent and the biomolecule.

Abstract: A configurable formatting system and method for generating a desired representation of an expression within a word list includes a dictionary database, a working list module, a formatting module, and a configuration file. The dictionary database stores categories containing words and translation rules. The configuration file contains variants to the contents of the categories of the dictionary database and is used to overwrite those in the dictionary database at startup. The working list module is used to read a word from the word list and to determine whether the word is associated with the expression. If so the word is inserted into a word list. The word list is processed when a word is read that is associated with the termination of the expression. The formatting module processes the words from the working list and generates the desired representation of the expression from the working list.

Abstract: An audio processing system and method for providing synchronized display of recognized text from an original audio file and playback of the original audio file. The system includes a speech recognition module, a silence insertion module, and a silence detection module. The speech recognition module generates text and audio pieces. The silence insertion module, aggregates the audio pieces into an aggregated audio file. The silence detection module converts the original audio file and the aggregated audio file into silence detected versions. Silent and non-silent blocks are identified using a threshold volume. The silence insertion module compares the silence detected original and aggregated audio files, determines the differences in position of non-silence elements and inserts silence within the audio pieces accordingly. The characteristics of the silence inserted audio pieces are used to synchronize the display of recognized text from an original audio file and playback of original audio file.

Abstract: The present invention provide methods to improve the treatment of cancer in mammals, including ovarian cancer, where intraperitoneal administration of cytotoxic medical agents or immunoconjugates are utilized. The invention provides means of substantially reducing the level of cytotoxic medical agents or immunoconjugates in the circulating blood. Hence, the organ exposure of circulating cytotoxic agents is minimized using the invention and the invention offers opportunities to use more effective dose treatment regime.

Abstract: An apparatus for use in connection with removal of elements, especially exogenous antibodies, from blood or plasma flowing in an extracorporeal blood circulation system of a patient, where said apparatus comprises a container (1). This container is adapted to receive an adsorbent and comprises an inlet (15) and an outlet (16) which are adapted to be connected to an inlet conduit (19) and an outlet conduit (20), respectively, forming part of the blood circulation system. The container (1) comprises an inlet chamber (31), an adsorption chamber (32) adapted to receive the adsorbent, and an outlet chamber (33). These chambers are arranged in sequence when seen in the flow direction of the blood or the plasma through the container (1) and are separated by means of filter units (11, 12) allowing passage of the blood or the plasma. The inlet (15) and the outlet (16) are arranged adjacent one another in connection with a common movable valve means (21).

Abstract: A method and a system is described for reducing non-target levels of specific molecules intended for diagnostic and/or therapeutic applications to vertebrate hosts, wherein said molecules are administered to a vertebrate host and kept therein for a certain time in order to be concentrate to the target by being attached thereto. The molecules which are not attached to the target are removed from the blood circulation system or at least reduced to a lower concentration by passing the blood through an extra-corporeal device.
