Abstract: The invention relates to a chromatography pump, comprising a cylinder (202, 402) in which a piston (204, 404) is arranged for a reciprocating movement; a front element (208) provided with a cylinder head area (210) which together with the cylinder (202, 402) and the piston (204, 404) defines a cylinder space (212); an inlet valve (214) and an outlet valve (216) arranged in the front element (208); an inlet channel (218) arranged in the front element (208) between the inlet valve (214) and the cylinder head area (210); an outlet channel (220) arranged in the front element (208) between the cylinder head area (210) and the outlet valve (216). The inlet channel (218) and outlet channel (220) extend in a substantially straight direction, so that air bubbles (234) are prevented from being trapped within the inlet and outlet channels (218, 220).

Abstract: A hand held medicine dosing and dispensing device (10) comprising a housing (12) including a storage chamber (14) to store discrete units of medicine (16). The dispensing device (10) further includes a feed assembly (18) located between the storage chamber (14) and a dispenser (20) to feed individual units of medicine (16) from the storage chamber (14) to the dispenser (20). An impacter (22) is operably associated with the storage chamber (14) to agitate units of medicine (16) stored in the storage chamber (14).

Abstract: A filament or fibre (2) comprising: a first conductive layer (4); an electro-optically active layer (6); a second conductive layer (8); wherein the filament or fibre has an off-state and an on-state, the electro-optically active layer comprising a combination of an electro-optically active substance and a polymer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to valves with small dead volumes. A valve in accordance with the present invention has a ferrule (7) which receives a plurality of fluid lines (33) which lead to outlets on an end surface (25) of said ferrule (7) and a movable selector body (15) which has a fluid groove (37, 37A) on a surface (23) which is in contact with the end surface (25) of said ferrule (7). Means are provided for exerting a clamping force on said ferrule (7) in order to simultaneously clamp all the fluid lines (33).
