  • Publication number: 20240099938
    Abstract: An adapter for coupling with medical vials has a housing with a center longitudinal axis. The adapter includes first latching portions on an inner circumference for latching to a first closing cover of a first vial, and second latching portions on the inner circumference for latching to a second closing cover of a second vial. The second closing cover has a larger diameter than the first closing cover. The housing has web portions and spring arm portions extending between the web portions and on which the first latching portions are arranged. The housing is elastically deformable from a first state, in which the spring arm portions latch with the first latching cover, into a second state, in which the spring arm portions allow a latching connection between the second latching portions and the second closing cover. The adapter device can be used in infusion therapy.

  • Publication number: 20240095081
    Abstract: A method for optimizing operations of high-performance computing (HPC) systems includes collecting data associated with a plurality of workload performance profiling counters associated with a workload during runtime of the workload in an HPC system. Based on the collected data, the method includes using a machine-learning technique to classify the workload by determining a workload-specific fingerprint for the workload. The method includes identifying an optimization metric to optimize during running of the workload in the HPC system. The method includes determining an optimal setting for a plurality of tunable hardware execution parameters as measured against the optimization metric by varying at least a portion of the plurality of tunable hardware execution parameters.

  • Publication number: 20240017285
    Abstract: An application device for applying a flowable medium onto a substrate, having a discharge valve having a closure member which, in its open position, releases a metering opening of the discharge valve, such that the flowable medium can flow through the metering opening in the direction of the substrate, wherein the closure member is movable by an electromagnet of the discharge valve from a closing position, in which it closes the metering opening, to an open position, and having a main control unit, which is connected to the discharge valve, and which delivers electrical output voltage signals which moves and maintains the closure member to the open position. A modification unit is arranged between the main control unit and the discharge valve, which is configured such it receives output voltage signals from the main control unit, modifies these signals and relays the latter in a modified form to the electromagnet.

  • Patent number: 11865080
    Abstract: RNA encoding an immunogen is co-delivered to non-immune cells as the site of delivery and also to immune cells which infiltrate the site of delivery. The responses of these two cell types to the same delivered RNA lead to two different effects, which interact to produce a strong immune response against the immunogen. The non-immune cells translate the RNA and express the immunogen. Infiltrating immune cells respond to the RNA by expressing type I interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines which produce a local adjuvant effect which acts on the immunogen-expressing non-immune cells to upregulate major histocompatibility complex expression, thereby increasing presentation of the translated protein to T cells. The effects on the immune and non-immune cells can be achieved by a single delivery of a single RNA e.g., by a single injection.

  • Publication number: 20230278065
    Abstract: A valve for flowable media having a valve housing and an elongate closure member arranged therein and which can be axially moved in a medium channel of the valve by a controllable actuator and which in a closed position abuts a valve seat and closes a discharge opening connected to the medium channel, and which is connected to a sealing element to seal the medium channel, namely, a part-piece of an elongate bellows, which moves in an axial direction during movements of the closure member and which is a hollow member made of metal, wherein another part-piece of the bellows is fixedly supported in the valve. The relative axial position between the bellows and the valve seat is adapted to a production-related deviation of the longitudinal dimension of the bellows used from a desired longitudinal dimension so that this deviation is compensated for.

  • Publication number: 20230271215
    Abstract: A valve arrangement for applying flowable medium to a substrate, having a main valve body with a medium channel for flowable media which is able to be closed by a movable closure member and to which a nozzle part having a nozzle opening of the valve arrangement is connected, wherein the valve arrangement has a pivotable lever movable out of a fastening position and into a releasing position, wherein the pivotable lever, during the movement from the fastening position into the releasing position, exerts a detaching force on the nozzle part in order to support the detachment of the nozzle part from the main valve body. In a first phase of its movement out of the fastening position and into the releasing position, the lever is movable in a straight line and exerts the detaching force on a push-off surface of the nozzle part, and entrains the nozzle part.
