Abstract: It is presented a method for determining a location of a mobile communication terminal. The method is performed in a location determiner and comprises the steps of: obtaining, using a first location source, a first location indicator of the mobile communication terminal; obtaining using a second location source, a second location indicator of the mobile communication terminal; determining an inconsistency condition to be true when one, and only one, of the first and second location indicators indicates the mobile communication terminal to be located within the coverage of its home network; and when the inconsistency condition is true, disregarding the location indicator indicating the mobile communication terminal to be located within the coverage of its home network.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for producing a hardenable mass, preferably bone substitute and/or bone reinforcing material or bone cement or similar material. A mixing container (3) has a mixing space (4) in which at least one powder and at least one liquid component (5, 6) are mixed to provide the hardenable mass (2). A piston means (7) is provided in the mixing space (4) of the mixing container (3). At least one means (8) which is rotatable relative to the mixing container (3) cooperates with the piston means (7) for, in a retaining position (P1), retaining said piston means (7) relative to the mixing container (3) and, by rotation to a release position (P2), releasing the piston means (7) such that said piston means can move in a direction (U) towards at least one opening (49) through which said mass (2) can pass out of the mixing space (4).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for producing a hardenable mass, preferably bone substitute and/or bone reinforcing material or bone cement or similar material. A mixing container may include a mixing space in which at least one powder and at least one liquid component are mixed to provide the hardenable mass. A piston may be provided in the mixing space of the mixing container. A screw device may be connectable to the mixing container such that the screw device may be configured to impart by screw movements a discharge movement to the piston to discharge the hardenable mass from the mixing space.

Abstract: The invention refers to an artificial bone mineral substitute material which comprises at least one ceramic and at least one water soluble non-ionic X-ray contrast agent. The invention refers to a composition for producing the same, which further comprises an aqueous liquid, as well as the use of the composition as a X-ray contrast medium.

Abstract: An injectable bone mineral substitute material composition with the capability of being hardened in a body fluid in vivo, which comprises at least one calcium phosphate component and at least one calcium sulfate component as a dry mixture mixed with an aqueous liquid, and at least one accelerator, the at least one calcium sulfate component being particulate hardened calcium sulfate, which has a specified particle size that is in order to confer injectablity to the composition. The invention also concerns the bone mineral substitute material produced from the composition as well as methods and uses thereof.
