Abstract: This invention relates to methods of cancer treatment and prognosis and in particular to such methods involving the HES-1 protein.

Abstract: The invention relates to a one-dose syringe comprising a first chamber with a freeze-dried composition comprising a protein in an amount of less than 1.4 mg, amino acid and stabilizer where the weight ratio between protein and amino acid versus stabilizer is less than 1.5 and in which the ratio of the weight of the dry component versus the cake volume in the first chamber is above 12 mg/ml, and a second chamber with an aqueous reconstitution solution with an injectable volume of less than 0.5 ml.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a parallel processor containing a number of processor elements of the same type which are integrated on one and the same semiconductor chip. The processor is of the type that allows image and signal processing of the information stored in the processor element. The device contains a unit block (3) for each processor element and is characterized in that each unit block comprises at least two incrementing units (1a, 1b) which are designed to add a signal supplied to the unit block and a signal which originates from an incrementing unit corresponding to the respective unit in the closest preceding unit block in every direction of the processor element matrix. Every unit block (3) further contains at least one logical unit (2) which is designed to perform Boolean logic operations on the signals received from the incrementing units of the unit block.

Abstract: A device in a pipe coupling between a pipe end portion and a wall surrounding the pipe end coupling which is constituted by a socket, consists of a stop face device which is fixable in axial directions in relation to the surrounding wall and engages an end surface of the pipe end portion so as to define the final, fully seated position of the pipe end portion in relation to a surrounding wall of the socket when the pipe end portion is introduced therein. The stop face device becomes inactivatable subsequently to defining the position of the pipe end portion in the surrounding wall.

Abstract: A liquid preparation of a pharmaceutically active agent having a defined composation is repeatedly dosed from a multi-dose container having a defined volume. The amount dosed is selected as 1/N of the volume of the multi-dose container, N being an integer having a value of 2 or higher.A device for dosing a liquid preparation comprises a holder (1) for a multi-dose container (2), which has a movable rear wall (5) acting as a piston for expelling the liquid preparation (6) from the container, and a piston rod (7), which is provided with releasable blocking means (11, 14, 19, 22), such that the movement of the piston rod is limited to a preset length (35) corresponding to an expelled volume of 1/N of the volume of said multi-dose container, N being an integer having a value of 2 or higher.A preferred embodiment of the device is as an injection device for repeated parenteral injections from an injection cartridge.

Abstract: A sealing device for a sealing space defined by sealing surfaces of two elements (2, 6), preferably pipes or well rings consisting of concrete, comprises a sealing element (28). The sealing element is adapted to seal a section of the sealing space extending transversely of the jointing direction of the two elements and has prior to the jointing of the elements a substantially C-shaped cross section.

Abstract: A dual-chamber cylinder ampoule is used for the mixture of a sensitive, solid medicament, with liquid which is caused to flow calmly through the medicament in order to avoid any shaking and mechanical influence. The mixing is preferably carried out at a pressure above atmospheric.An injection device for the preparation of an injection solution and a following injection of such solution includes first and second tubular members for enclosing and holding a dual-chamber cylinder ampoule, in which the dry medicament is kept separated from the liquid. When the two tubular members are being screwed together the liquid is calmly and gently mixed with the dry medicament and dissolves it, and the resulted solution can thereafter be injected by means of the dosage and administration mechanism, provided in one tubular member, through a needle arranged at the front end of the other tubular member.
