Abstract: A method of preparing containers for blood-derived products includes filling the blood-derived product containers with the blood-derived product, of virally inactivating the blood-derived product containers, and detecting possible defects in the blood-derived product containers. The viral inactivation is carried out by placing the blood-derived product containers in contact with steam at sub-atmospheric pressure in a chamber adapted for that purpose.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for determining the visual behavior of a person. The inventive method comprises the following steps consisting in: recording the movement of the individual's head, recording the movement of his/her eyes, determining the relative orientation of the eye in relation to the head, and determining the amount of time for which the eye is maintained in each orientation. The aforementioned amount of time is determined by collecting the records of orientations in finite intervals and counting the number of records (frequency) in each interval. Said orientations are specified using angular co-ordinates for both the head and the eye. The data are detected and processed with the aid of a device comprising light emitters (51) which are fixed to the head, cameras (63) and a screen (611, 612) for attracting the individual's gaze. The results from the method are used in order to customize the design of a lens for spectacles.

Abstract: An improved process for the production of lyophilized Piperacillin alone or in combination with Tazobactam with improved pH adjustment, by degassing the solution of products to a controlled low carbon dioxide content prior to lyophilization.

Abstract: A keylock system comprising a lock and a key for opening and closing the lock, the key having an outer radial retaining stub protruding radially outward, the lock including a base plate for attachment to a surface of an enclosure, a cylinder rotatably mounted within the base plate, the cylinder having a first end adapted to engage the key, and a second end protruding from the base plate, the cylinder being rotatable between open and closed positions, and retaining sleeve threaded onto the cylinder. The retaining sleeve comprises a plurality of retaining fingers engaged with the cylinder to a low rotation thereof, an immobilizing finger for engagement with the base plate to prevent rotation of the retaining sleeve, and a top annular surface defining an opening having a reduced diameter which allows passage of the key therethrough.
