Abstract: An injection device (1) for injecting apportioned doses of liquid drug. The injection device (1) includes a dose setting structure, an injection structure, a removable cap (15) and a cap receiving part (9) adapted to abut or engage with the cap (15) when the cap (15) is mounted on the injection device (1). The dose setting structure is operatively coupled to the cap receiving part (9) in such a manner that mounting and/or dismounting of the cap (15) on/from the injection device (1) causes the dose setting structure to set a dose. Thereby a correct dose of drug is automatically set during a cap on/cap off cycle. Since such a cycle is normally performed between subsequent injections, the number of steps required to be performed by the user is reduced.

Abstract: The invention relates to a flexible pipe. Such flexible pipe has a length and comprises a tubular inner sealing sheath surrounding an axis and defining a bore; at least one pressure armor and at least one tensile armor comprising one or more layers. The pressure armor and the tensile armor are non-bonded relative to each other. In the flexible pipe of the invention, the pressure armor comprises a sandwich structure comprising a polymer structure and a first and a second strength imparting layer arranged on either side of said polymer structure and locked or bonded to the polymer structure. The flexible pipe has a high strength and can be manufactured in a cost effective manner.

Abstract: The invention relates to an unbonded, flexible pipe having a length and comprising a tubular inner sealing sheath, at least one metal armor layer and an outer sealing sheath. The unbonded, flexible pipe comprises at least one insulated length section comprising a fluid permeable thermally insulating cover surrounding the outer sealing sheath in the insulated length section. The thermally insulating cover is further surrounded by a liquid permeable jacket, and preferably the thermally insulating cover is liquid permeable. Because the liquid permeable jacket is liquid permeable, no substantial external pressure will act on the liquid permeable jacket, and accordingly the liquid permeable jacket will substantially not carry any pressure induced forces further to the thermally insulating cover. The unbonded, flexible pipe will thereby be more flexible than corresponding insulated prior art unbonded, flexible pipes with a non-liquid permeable jacket.

Abstract: The invention provides a fluidic system (100) comprising a permeable membrane (152), in which one side of the permeable membrane is in contact with a fluid, this lowering the partial pressure of a gas on the other side of the membrane being by raising the pressure of vapour from the fluid by diffusion from the fluidic system through the permeable membrane. This will aid in expelling a gas from a fluid assembly as well as reducing the likelihood of gas entering into the fluid assembly.
