Abstract: Systems and methods for mixing and/or reconstituting drugs are presented. A system may include an injection device, a vial, a needle, and a base station. The device has a chamber containing a first material. The vial has a chamber containing a second material. A drive unit of the base station moves the vial and/or the housing of the device relative to each other into an activated position. In the activated position, the needle is fluidly connected with the vial's chamber, and the drive unit is connected to a driver that moves the plunger in the axial direction of the device such that during fluid connection of the needle with the vial's chamber the first material is expelled from the device's chamber into the vial's chamber or the second material is expelled from the vial's chamber into the device's chamber.

Abstract: A touch panel and a touch display are disclosed. The touch panel mainly comprises a light transmissive substrate and two sensing units. The two sensing units are disposed oppositely through the light transmissive substrate. A mesh width of a metal mesh in the two sensing units is large, which can increase a variation of capacitance value and improve the touch sensitivity. In addition, an angle between metal lines with sensing function is configured in a random manner under a certain condition to reduce an area of nodes, thus a rounding effect at the nodes can be effectively reduced or eliminated. The metal meshes of the two sensing units disposed oppositely are staggered with a non-conductive node-free pattern to form a staggered pattern with irregular polygons, so that no interference fringes would be generated when the touch panel is used together with display panels of various mainstream sizes.

The device is adapted such that activation of the device causes movement one of a first piston and a second piston in second chamber in an axial direction of the device, thereby moving the other one of the first piston and the second piston into the same axial direction of the device, opening a fluid communication path between the second chamber and a first chamber of the device, and expelling a second material from the second chamber into the first chamber via the fluid communication path. The disclosure is further directed to a respective mixing and/or reconstitution method.

Abstract: A proton beam therapy system with a cantilever gantry system and a moving floor system. The moving floor system includes a flexible moving floor and a track that is disposed vertically and affixed to an external wall. The track includes a lateral portion providing a linear lateral path for the part of the moving floor and non-lateral portions providing a vertical path for the excess of the floor. The non-lateral portions may be located above or below the lateral portion. During rotation of the cantilever gantry and when the beam nozzle is positioned under the patient table, an opening is maintained in the floor through which the beam nozzle protrudes. The opening follows the changing positions of the beam nozzle and moves in the floor plane in synchronization with the rotation of the gantry.
