Abstract: A machine for the preparation of a medical product with a worktop includes a hole for introducing syringes such that the injection points thereof are positioned for filling by the machine and a device for loading syringes. The device includes a fixed portion and a moveable portion, it being possible for the moveable portion to slide with respect to the fixed portion. The fixed portion includes housings for syringes that extend in a direction that is not parallel to that of the movement of the moveable portion. The moveable portion includes housings for syringes that extend in the direction of movement of the moveable portion. Two points of the movement of the moveable portion define a working position where the housings are aligned such that each pair of housings of the fixed portion and moveable portion receive the same syringe. The housings are misaligned in the loading position.

Abstract: A machine is for the preparation of medical product. The machine includes a worktop for receiving containers. The worktop includes a series of holes for the introduction into each of them of an injection point belonging to a medical container to be filled. The holes give access to an interior of the machine, so that the injection points of the medical containers remain inside for their filling by the machine. The machine includes a removable device for loading medical containers into the machine. The removable device includes housings for the medical containers and detachable fasteners to the worktop of the machine.

Abstract: A machine for the preparation of medical product includes a device for loading bags of medical product into the machine. The device includes a shaft with the ability to rotate and two or more adaptors for housing injection points of bags of medical product arranged on the shaft. The rotation of the shaft causes the adaptors arranged on the shaft to rotate. Two stops define a position for loading bags by an operator and an operating position of the machine.

Abstract: An adaptor for medical containers includes a hinge and a latch to attach the adaptor to respective support. The hinge includes a pivot to allow pivoting when a pivoting surface of the respective support and the pivot come in contact with each other. The adaptor can also include a zone for the reception of syringes, bags, vials and/or bottles.

Abstract: A device for placing threaded lids on containers includes a holder for lids to be placed and a mechanism for retaining the lids stored in the holder. The retaining mechanism has a predetermined retaining position in which the lids stored in the holder are retained and a release position in which one of the lids stored in the holder is dispensed. The device also includes a lid positioner, which places a threaded lid on a container through a first rotation about a first axis when the positioner is in the placing position. When the position is in the receiving position, the positioner causes the retaining mechanism to change from the predetermined retaining position to the release position through rotation about the first axis.

Abstract: A device for loading medical containers on dosing machines includes an adaptor for medical containers and a support for the adaptor, in which the support includes an attachment means to the dosing machine and in which the adaptor and the support include means for pivoting relative to one another and means for clipping to each other. The means being arranged in such a way that the pivoting of the adaptor and of the support by means of the pivoting means produces the clipping together of the adaptor and the support.

Abstract: A machine and a method are for the automatic preparation of substances for intravenous application. The machine includes a container receiving zone which defines a matrix of individual positions for initial and final containers, and a number of actuators for transferring substances from initial container to final container. Each of the actuators is positioned beneath the zone for receiving initial and final containers, each of the actuators is able to move relatively, independently of the rest of the actuators, and each of the actuators is suitable for receiving and operating injectors with different volumes and degrees of precision in order to remove substances from initial containers and insert them into final containers.

Abstract: A three-dimensional puzzle cube comprising multiple pieces having various shapes that can be assembled into a cube and various other structures using all or a portion of the puzzle pieces. A first embodiment comprises seven pieces and forms a 3×3×3 cube. A second embodiment comprises five pieces and forms a 3×3×3 cube. A third embodiment comprises seven pieces and forms a 4×4×4 cube. The individual puzzle pieces may be of uniform color, multi-color, or alternately colored.

Abstract: An energy management and power conversion method and system that may reduce wasted energy in one or more ways. One method is by providing one or more management control points, such as a web based computer and a programming means for overall monitoring and control of a power distribution system. Another is by providing one or more power controllers that may manage one or more AC to DC power supplies and optionally one or more batteries so that they operate in an efficient manner. Another method is by providing power to one or more DC controllers that may be individually enabled and disabled to shut down power to connected end user devices to conserve energy.

Abstract: An inexpensive, lightweight, thin, portable, compact, reusable, easy to clean, holder that can support a container in an upright, inclined, or inverted position on level, non-level, and solid and liquid surfaces or suspended using a means of suspension, such as a wire. The generally star-shaped main body with radially extended arms, and containing a hole therein used to grip a container. The main body is incurvated into a concave shape by the insertion of a container into the hole located near the center of the main body. The incurvation occurs due to the elasticity of the material used for the main body forming a semi-rigid concave shape capable of supporting the weight of the container. The adaptability of the holder enables a wide range of uses for the invention.
