Abstract: An injection device for injection of set doses of medicine from a cartridge has a nut that is screwed up along a threaded piston rod during a dose setting operation. The nut is screwed along the piston rod by rotating a dose setting member. A rotational coupling mechanism includes an axially displaceable coupling member which is rotated as a function of axial displacement. During dose setting, the nut is allowed to rotate relative to the coupling member. During injection, the coupling member is rotationally locked to the nut. This provides a dose setting and injection mechanism wherein the nut member is both rotated during dose setting and during injection.

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, are laminated by application of heat and in direct continuation applied to the pipe. The strength-imparting layer includes a polymer reinforced with at least 20% by volume of fibers. The thermoplastic is of a reversible type (it may change from being relatively soft, but non-sticky to being sticky by changes in temperature). The method allows manufacture of very strong reinforcements for flexible pipes which cannot be manufactured using solid material, e.g., steel, since high performing bending forces are required in shaping. A reinforcement element is provided which is capable of resisting instantaneous shock loads as the thermoplastic material is protective.

The unbonded flexible pipe has a length and a center axis along its length, and comprises an internal sealing sheath around its center axis, a carcass arranged inside the internal sealing sheath, and at least one armor arranged around the internal sealing sheath. The carcass comprises at least one helically wound elongate carcass reinforcement element providing a plurality of carcass reinforcement element windings along the length of the pipe wherein the carcass reinforcement element windings surround and/or are surrounded by a polymer structure, which polymer structure locks said carcass reinforcement element windings relative to each other. Accordingly the carcass reinforcement element windings need not be directly interlocked with each, but are mainly or totally locked to each other by the polymer structure.

The flexible unbonded pipe of the invention comprises an internal sealing sheath, a carcass arranged inside the internal sealing sheath, and around the internal sealing sheath it comprises a first tensile armor layer comprising a plurality of helically wound elongate elements having a winding angle to the center axis of about 45 degrees or less. The flexible unbonded pipe further comprises at least one high pitch outer layer of one or more elongate elements wound with an angle to the center axis of at least about 80 degrees and arranged outside the internal sealing sheath.

Abstract: A mechanical injection device for injecting apportioned doses of a liquid drug. The injection device comprises a dose setting assembly comprising a cap and a cap receiving part, adapted to abut or engage with the cap when the cap is mounted on the injection device, and an injection assembly. Mounting and/or dismounting of the cap on/from the injection device causes the dose setting assembly 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.

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 a flexible pipe comprising an axis and a tubular innermost sealing sheath surrounding said axis, said innermost sealing sheath being surrounded by at least one outer armoring layer.

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.
