Abstract: A shielded needle assembly for a drug delivery device in which a needle cannula (20) tilts once the needle assembly is removed from the drug delivery device whereby a non-patient end (22) of a needle cannula (20) abuts an inside surface of the needle hub (1) and a patient end (21) of the same needle cannula (20) blocks the axial movement of the shield (50).

Abstract: A needle magazine for holding a plurality of injection needles (50) is described. The needle magazine comprises a first opening adapted to receive the device fluid access portion (120) of a medical delivery device. Each needle (50) is selectively moveable from a respective storage position not aligned with said first opening into a needle mounting position aligned with said first opening. The needle magazine further comprises needle positioning means (41). configured to alter the mutual position between a needle selected from said plurality of needles (50) relative to a neighbour needle when said selected needle moves from its storage position to the needle mounting position.

Abstract: A RFID comprising a value sensor such as a pressure sensor is integrated with a liquid drug container to enable wireless pressure or other drug relevant parameter value monitoring and code-matching of drug container to a medical delivery device.

Abstract: For use in the manufacture of reinforcement layers for flexible pipes which are capable of absorbing compressive or tensile forces, and which are used for the transport of oil and gas, a thermoplastic material is applied to a strength-imparting layer. The strength-imparting layers are reeled on reels, and following unreeling they are laminated by application of heat and in direct continuation applied to the flexible pipe. The strength-imparting layer expediently consists of a polymer which is reinforced with at least 20% by volume of fibres. The thermoplastic material is of a reversible type, i.e. it may change from being relatively soft, but non-sticky to being sticky by changes in temperature. The use of the method according to the invention allows manufacture of very strong reinforcements for flexible pipes which cannot be manufactured using a solid material, such as steel, since high preforming bending forces are required in the shaping.

Abstract: A mechanical injection device (1) for injecting apportioned doses of liquid drug. The injection device (1) comprises a dose setting means, an injection means, 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 means 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 means 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 two subsequent injections, the number of steps required to be performed by the user is reduced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a medication delivery device for delivering a set dose of medicament, the medication delivery device comprising pump means having first and second pump chambers. The first pump chamber is adapted to transfer medicament from a first collapsible reservoir to an outlet arrangement, said outlet arrangement being in fluidic communication with an associated hypodermic needle. The second pump chamber is adapted to transfer substance from a second reservoir to the outlet arrangement, wherein the first pump chamber is adapted to deliver the set dose of medicament during one or more pump strokes, the stroke volume(s) of said one or more pump strokes being variable.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a handheld medication delivery device comprising first and second mutually displaceable housing parts (1, 2) optionally being operatively connected by a first resilient member thereby allowing the medication delivery device to be in a non-compressed state and in a compressed state.

Abstract: A reinforced flexible pipeline (1), which has an inner liner (3) whose inner side engages an inner reinforcement layer (2) that may be formed by a so-called carcass, and on whose outer side at least a strength-imparting reinforcement layer (4, 5, 6, 7) is provided, has an additional barrier layer (9, 10, 11) which is arranged between the inner liner and the inner reinforcement layer. The additional barrier layer is thermally insulating and/or chemically protecting. The additional barrier layer may be formed as a tape (9) which is wound around the inner reinforcement layer, or may be composed of locking profiles (10, 11) which are wound around the flexible pipeline in a helix. The additional barrier layer (9, 10, 11) may be made completely or partly of a polymer which may be thermoplastic, or is cross-linked completely or partly. Hereby, the pipe may be protected against temperatures above e.g. 13° C. and may also be protected against attacks from methanol that contains water.

Abstract: A flexible, armored pipe is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, the flexible, armored pipe includes an impermeable liner, an outer armoring layer, and an inner armoring layer. The inner armoring layer includes one or more wound armoring elements, and the outer armoring layer is placed on the outside of the liner, and includes at least two layers of wound armoring elements which are completely or partly permeable for fluids. Further, the inner armoring layer is placed on the inside of the liner. In certain embodiments, the inner armoring is built up of wound profiles, K profiles, or profiles which include a rolled strip.

Abstract: Flexible, armored pipes and methods of using the same are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, the flexible, armored pipe includes an inner liner which is surrounded by a pressure armor. The inner liner may be built-up by joining together profiles that have a number of recesses. In one embodiment, the profiles are configured as K-profiles, which have recesses that are arranged in adjoining surfaces of the profile. When the profiles are brought together, the recesses form a cavity in which a locking element can be inserted, the function of which is to prevent displacement of the K-profiles at right-angles to the axial direction of the pipe when exposed to axial, compressive forces. The locking element can be I-shaped, circular or configured as a wire with a C-shaped cross-section. The locking element can also be made either of a rigid or an elastic, deformable material. With a C-shaped locking element, the whole of the cavity, which is formed by the recesses, is not filled out.

Abstract: A reinforced flexible tubular pipe including an inner liner (3) that forms a barrier against outflow of medium that flows through the pipe, the inner liner (3) being encased by at least one reinforcing layer having a space in which a number of profiles are configured that are coiled around the inner liner such that the profiles are completely or partially surrounded by a lumen (10) that allows transport of fluids in the longitudinal direction of the pipe. Outside the reinforcing layer an outer coating (9) is provided to form a barrier against inflow of fluids or gases from the surroundings of the pipe to the reinforcing layer. At least one flow path (11) is provided to convey fluid or gas away from the lumen (10). This flow path (11) is provided with an inlet opening that debouches in the lumen (10) and an outlet opening (13) that ends in the inner liner of the tubular pipe.

Abstract: A method for the excitation of a plasma in which a gas is subjected to an electric field by a plurality of electrode systems. According to the invention at least two separate electrode systems are used which are power supplied from separate generators with the same frequency, the voltage variations of the generators being shifted in phase relative to each other such that a voltage zero never occurs at the same time in two of the electrode systems, a kind of rest period also occurring, in which there is no significant potential difference between the phases. As a result a pulsating plasma is obtained, as the plasma is generated by the potential difference between the phases. When there is no significant potential difference between the phases, an added substance may interact with its own functionality.
