Abstract: A hearing aid comprising a receiver assembly is disclosed. The receiver assembly includes a housing adapted to accommodate receivers of different geometry and/or size and/or mechanical dimensions and suspension member arranged in the housing. The suspension member comprises vibration dampers protruding from an outer periphery of the suspension member and a plurality of spacers provided at an inner periphery of the suspension member. The plurality of spacers is positioned to arrange and fix one or more cushions or enclosed structures in predefined grooves formed by adjacent spacers in the space between the receiver and the suspension member.

Abstract: Container to be used for preparing a multi-layered blood product by centrifugation, said container comprising a substantially cylindrical body (2) with a closed bottom (3) and a top (4) having a filling opening as well as a filter device (15), which is slidable inside the container (1). The filing opening is closed by means of a penetrable membrane (13), and the filter device (15) comprises a substantially planar mesh (16) and a supporting buoyancy body (18). In addition to this, there are means (35, 36, 39, 40, 42), for releasable fixation of the filter device (15) adjacent to the bottom (3) of the container (1).

Abstract: A hearing device, e.g. a hearing aid, having a protection system is disclosed. The device includes an input unit for receiving an acoustic signal from a user's surroundings and providing a corresponding audio signal, and an output unit receiving said audio signal and providing an audible signal to the user, where the hearing device further includes a barrier element for protecting elements of the hearing device. Furthermore, the disclosure relates to a hearing device inlet system.

The suspension member comprises vibration dampers protruding from an outer periphery of the suspension member, and one or more cushions or one or more enclosed structures containing a material are provided between the receiver and the suspension member.

Abstract: Dispenser package comprising a planar backing, a dispenser body coupled to the backing and a flip-up or flip-out cover movable between a closed position and an open position.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising a conduit clamping device with a closing mechanism for closing and opening passage of fluid or air in a flexible conduit is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a movable arm or disk that is connected to a manipulation arm or a knob; a conduit in form of a tube, that is laid flat against an abutment or protrusion; and a guide structure that constrains the movable arm or disk between the guide structure and the tube and being designed such that movement of the arm or disk will control the compression of the tube.

Abstract: A centrifuge comprising a rotor having a rotational axis, at least one receptacle for a blood sample container, controller means for controlling the rotational speed of the rotor, at least one optical transmitter for transmitting an optical signal, at least one optical receiver for registering the amplitude of the optical signal, where the optical signal is configured to pass through the blood sample container where the optical receiver detects the amplitude of the optical signal when it is directed through the blood sample container, where the amplitude of the optical signal reflects the translucency of the blood sample, where the controller means is configured to discontinue the rotational movement of the rotor when the amplitude of the optical signal over time has fulfilled a predefined pattern indicating that at least the fibrin compression phase of the blood sample is started.

Abstract: Processor unit for processing and controlling a preparation of a blood sample placed in a preparation unit arranged in said processor unit comprising a piston placed in a first chamber for containing the blood sample. A part of the processed blood moves from the first chamber to a second chamber. The blood sample is centrifuged into separate layers comprising an outer layer adhering to the inner side of the outer first chamber wall and an inner layer placed opposite the outer layer. That the processor unit further comprises a first unit for emitting an outcome signal through the first chamber and a second unit for detecting after the signal has passed the first chamber an income signal. The piston is moved as a function of the detected income signal of the second unit.

Abstract: A blood product (10), a method for preparing the blood product, a blood product obtainable by the method and a blood product preparing container means. The blood product comprises components from whole blood, especially fibrin, thrombocytes and leukocytes. The blood product (10) comprises a first layer (21), a second layer (22) and a third layer (23). The second layer (22) is adjacent to the first layer (21) and the third layer (23). The first layer (21) defines a first outer surface (24) of the blood product (10) and the third layer (23) defining a second outer surface (25) of the blood product (10). The first layer (21) comprises a majority of fibrin, the second layer (22) comprises a majority of thrombocytes and the third layer (23) comprises a majority of leukocytes.

Abstract: Genetic markers for identifying bovine carriers of complex vertebral malformation (CVM) disease gene are described. The genetic markers, including the microsatellite markers BM4129, INRAA003, BMS2790, ILSTS029, INRA123, BM220, HUJ246, BMS862, BMS937, BL1048, BMS2095 and BMS1266 and the bovine SLC35A3 gene, are located on bovine chromosome BTA3. The G/T polymorphism at position 559 of the bovine SLC35A3 gene is identified as being causative and diagnostic for CVM in cattle.
