  • Publication number: 20240132258
    Abstract: Comprising a body (1) having a neck (4) which comprises at least one opening (2) which is covered by a lid (3) characterised in that: the neck (4) comprises at least a mouth (7), that defines the opening (2), and a recess (5) in the walls of the neck (4), both the mouth (7) and the recess (5) having an elliptical shape, being the major axis of the ellipse of the mouth (7) and of the recess (5) between 5-15% longer than the minor axis, the lid (3) comprises an extension (6) shaped as an ellipse directed towards the inner side of the lid (3), the major axis of the ellipse of the extension (6) being between 5-15% longer than the minor axis, the ellipse of the mouth (7) is smaller than the ellipse of the lid (3), the recess (5) has a frustoconical configuration that defines an angle ?, and the extension (6) has, in its inner face (9), which is located in front of the recess (5), an inverted frustoconical configuration with respect to the frustoconical configuration of the recess (5), having an angle ? and th

  • Publication number: 20240121741
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for event subscription management in a network comprising a set of NF nodes, and corresponding NF nodes. The method implemented at a first NF node includes receiving a subscription request of an event for a user equipment, UE, from a third NF node; transmitting, to a second NF node that serves the UE, a subscription report request for the event for the UE; receiving, from a fourth NF node that currently serves the UE, a UE registration request for the UE, including an indication indicating whether the UE is in a restricted service area; and determining whether to transmit a notification for the event to the third NF node based on the UE registration request. The present disclosure further discloses a corresponding method implemented at the second NF node. The present disclosure further provides corresponding computer readable medium.

  • Patent number: 8371496
    Abstract: The method and apparatus serve to treat a multi-walled glass body, in particular a glass body (20) with a glass membrane (25) for a chemical sensor or measuring probe, wherein a portion of at least one wall or of an interior tube (21) is to be fused, and wherein the fusing can have the purpose of closing off a first chamber (291). A glass element (286) which serves to absorb radiation energy is inserted in the vicinity of the portion (210) of either the wall or of the interior tube (21) that is to be fused. The glass element (286) is exposed to the radiation energy of at least one energy radiator (17), whereby the glass element (286) and the portion (210) of either the wall or the interior tube (21) are fused together.

  • Patent number: 7466423
    Abstract: Optical mapping apparatus for imaging an object, comprising an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system including an OCT source, an OCT reference path leading from the OCT source to an OCT receiver, an OCT object path leading from the object to the OCT coupler, an OCT depth scanner adapted to alter at least one of the OCT reference path and the OCT receiver path. A confocal system is provided including a confocal optical receiver a confocal path leading from the object to the confocal optical receiver via a confocal input aperture. An adaptive optics (AO) system is provided to correct optical aberrations in the OCT object path and the confocal path.

  • Publication number: 20040154335
    Abstract: Production of a glass body provided with a glass membrane is disclosed, for a chemical sensor, in which a displaceably mounted dip tube through which a gaseous medium can flow is dipped into a mass of molten glass and pulled out again to withdraw a gob which is then put into the desired shape by supply of the gaseous medium. The dip tube is inserted into a mount, which is connected to a displaceably supported carriage which is then displaced as far as a lower end position (P1), which is defined on the basis of an adjustment device such that when the carriage moves downward the dip tube dips into the molten glass, and upon the retraction of the carriage the dip tube withdraws a gob that is suitable for processing. After one or more withdrawals of a gob, the one-piece or multiple-piece adjustment device is readjusted manually or automatically by a certain amount, to compensate for changes in the level of the molten glass caused by the withdrawal of gobs.
