Abstract: Method of making a musculoskeletal tissue reconstruction implant by warp knitting an implant of a biodegradable polymeric material to form a porous matrix or scaffold having a tensile stiffness at least by 50% lower than the tensile stiffness of the musculoskeletal tissue the implant is configured to reconstruct.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a valve (1) for dispensing liquid substances from a closed and airtight container (3), the valve (1) comprising a valve housing (10) with a first end (10A) configured to be detachably attached to and in fluid communication with the container and a second end (10B) at which the liquid substance is to be dispensed in a dispensing direction by means of gravity. The dispensing valve (1) is useful in dispensing and has a more reliable and/or reproducible and simpler emptying of a closed and airtight/airproof container by means of an improved changing of air with liquid substance in the container when it is being emptied/dispensed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for displaying a video. A video stream including a plurality of image frames, wherein at least some image frames include an overlay, is received by a video management system. The video management system determines a position of the overlay within an image frame. The video management system applies an image adjustment function to the image frame to create an adjusted image frame. The image adjustment function uses the determined position of the overlay to adjust the image while keeping the appearance of the overlay essentially unchanged, and the video stream including the adjusted image frame is displayed.
