Abstract: A multi-tool is a constituent part of a punch device, in particular of a turret punch press. An upper tool part has a plurality of upper tools which are activatable from a head side via a machine pusher of the punch device for workpiece-machining purposes. A lower tool part has a plurality of lower tools. A workpiece is arrangeable between the upper tool part and the lower tool part. In each case one of the lower tools interacts with an associated upper tool. The number of the upper tools is greater than the number of the lower tools. This results in a multi-tool for extending the possible uses of a punch device.

Abstract: An electronic device such as a wristwatch may have a housing with metal sidewalls and a display having conductive display structures. The display structures may be separated from the sidewalls by a slot for an antenna that runs around the display module. A conductive interconnect may be coupled between the sidewalls and the display structures. A feed and tuning element may be coupled between the display structures and the sidewalls. A first length of the slot from the interconnect to the tuning element may radiate in a satellite band and a cellular band. A second length of the slot from the interconnect to the feed may radiate in a 2.4 GHz band. Harmonics of the second length may radiate in bands at and above 5.0 GHz. If desired, the tuning element may be omitted, and the antenna may be coupled to separate low band and high band matching circuits.

Abstract: According to the invention, there is provided a solid pharmaceutical composition formulation for nasal delivery of an opioid antagonist, comprising a pharmacologically-effective amount of an opioid antagonist and a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier.

Abstract: Methods and systems facilitate network communications between a wireless network-connected thermostat and a cloud-based management server in a manner that promotes reduced power usage and extended service life of an energy-storage device of the thermostat, while at the same time accomplishing timely data transfer between the thermostat and the cloud-based management server for suitable and time-appropriate control of an HVAC system. The thermostat further comprises powering circuitry configured to: extract electrical power from one or more HVAC control wires in a manner that does not require a “common” wire; supply electrical power for thermostat operation; recharge the energy-storage device (if needed) using any surplus extracted power; and discharge the energy-storage device to assist in supplying electrical power for thermostat operation during intervals in which the extracted power alone is insufficient for thermostat operation.
