  • Publication number: 20220221410
    Abstract: An inspection device (1) has a particle detector (3) adapted to detect particles (5) in a liquid, a seat (6) adapted to position a container (4) housing the liquid in an area of operation (311) of the particle detector (3) and a vibration arrangement (2) for vibrating the container (4). The vibration arrangement (2) comprises a frequency generator (21) adapted to provide an electrical signal and a transducer (22) adapted to transduce the electrical signal provided by the frequency generator (21) into an acoustic wave (221). The seat (6) is adapted to position the container (4) adjacent to the transducer (22). for inspecting a liquid inside a container (4) with respect to the existence of particles (5). The inspection device (1) allows for an accurate and gentle inspection of the liquid filled in the container and for detecting particles in the liquid.

  • Patent number: 11313808
    Abstract: An inspection device has a particle detector adapted to detect particles in a liquid, the particle detector preferably including a camera. The inspection device including a seat adapted to position a container housing the liquid in an area of operation of the particle detector and a vibration arrangement for vibrating the container. The vibration arrangement includes a frequency generator adapted to provide an electrical signal and a transducer adapted to transduce the electrical signal provided by the frequency generator into an acoustic wave. The seat is adapted to position the container adjacent to the transducer for inspecting a liquid inside a container with respect to the existence of particles. The inspection device allows for an accurate and gentle inspection of the liquid filled in the container and for detecting particles in the liquid.

  • Patent number: 10928236
    Abstract: A peristaltic dosing device for providing dosages of a fluid at a volume of less than one milliliter comprises: a flexible tube, a counter pressure element, a plurality of actors and a drive. The flexible tube is essentially straightly arranged along the counter pressure element thereby forming a longitudinal axis. The actors arranged parallel to each other along the longitudinal axis. They are moveable by the drive in relation to the flexible tube. The flexible tube is compressible between the actors and the counter pressure element by moving the actors. Each of the actors is independently and linearly moveable by the drive along an actuation axis essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the flexible tube from a home position in which the flexible tube is least compressed to an end position in which the flexible tube is compressed and sealed between the respective actor and the counter pressure element.
