  • Publication number: 20190116138
    Abstract: A method is provided for providing a message in a child message thread for, for example, an instant message application. The child message thread is associated with a parent thread and preferably with a participant list that comprises at least details of one sender and a receiver of messages of the parent thread and the child thread. In a parent display screen, parent messages may be provided, sorted with objects representing a child thread. By selecting the child thread, messages in the child thread are shown. This concept of nesting of child conversations in a parent conversation allows for convenient and efficient organisation of messages for participants.

  • Patent number: 9028578
    Abstract: A filter arrangement for a system within which fluid is filtered and an associated method of providing the arrangement. A frame of the arrangement includes an outer periphery shape that is complementary to a shape for location of the filter arrangement therein and a plurality of filter cartridge seat slots arranged in V-shaped pairs. Each filter cartridge seat slot provides a sub-aperture for removably receiving a respective filter cartridge in a direction transverse to the flow proceeding through the sub-aperture. The filter arrangement includes a plurality of filter cartridges that are removably located within respective filter cartridge seat slots. The filter arrangement includes a non-permanent sealing arrangement between the filter cartridges and the frame so that flow does not by-pass filter media. The non-permanent arrangement permits removal of the filter cartridges from the frame and replacement with new filter cartridges upon the frame.

  • Publication number: 20140206925
    Abstract: Disclosed is a device for contact radiotherapy, comprising a set of applicators, wherein each applicator comprises a hollow spherical head, with different diameters, the external surface of which is able to be in contact with a cavity of a living tissue and the internal surface of which defines an internal space able to receive a source of x-rays, with at least one area of the head is intended to have x-rays pass through it, and the thickness of said area depends on the diameter of the head configured so that the dose of x-rays produced at the external surface is between 18 and 22 gray. Also disclosed is a system for contact radiotherapy comprising said device. The disclosed device and system apply particularly to per-operative radiotherapy, in that the irradiation is produced in contact with the ablation bed of the tumour, in particular in the breast, during the operation.

  • Patent number: 8690980
    Abstract: A filter pocket arrangement that provides increased filter media area is described. In one embodiment, each filter pocket includes a pocket mouth that attaches to a filter frame and a pocket body extending longitudinally away from the pocket mouth to a closed end. The closed end is folded back inward towards the pocket mouth to form a tuck fold that defines a first sub-filter pocket and a second sub-filter pocket at the pocket mouth. The first sub-filter pocket and the second sub-filter pocket each has a sub-pocket mouth that coincides with a portion of the pocket mouth, with sidewalls extending longitudinally therefrom to form an apex at the closed end of the filter pocket. The first sub-filter pocket is separated from the second sub-filter pocket by the tuck fold.
