Abstract: A peritoneal dialysis system includes a cycler, a disposable set operable with the cycler and including a patient line and a drain line, one of (i) a water purifier for supplying purified water for mixing to form fresh dialysis fluid at the disposable set, (ii) at least one fresh dialysis fluid container provided as part of the disposable set for supplying fresh dialysis fluid, or (iii) a dialysis fluid preparation unit configured to supply fresh dialysis fluid to the disposable set, and at least one flow path insulator provided at the cycler, the water purifier, the dialysis fluid preparation unit, and/or along the drain line. The flow path insulator is configured to separate used dialysis fluid flowing along the drain line into flow segments to limit any current flowing from the patient to a drain.

Abstract: The invention relates to a package (1) for use in a peritoneal dialysis treatment and a method for manufacturing of such a package. The package includes a line set (1), which comprises a first tubular line element (1a), a second tubular line element (1b) and at least one component (2, 5, 7, 4, 8a, b, c) connected to the tubular line elements (1a, b, c). The package comprises organizing means (9) arranged to organize the line set (1) such that no part of the line set (1) extends across another part of the line set (1).

Abstract: Spare-wheel carrier to be mounted on a chassis of a motor vehicle comprises a substantially horizontal backing plate adapted for connection with a vehicle. The backing plate carries a movable protruding hook positioned in such a way as to allow the central opening of a wheel rim to be rested thereupon for enabling the wheel to be swung about the hook to a position below the backing plate and substantially in parallellism therewith. The hook comprises one end of a movable supporting member, the other end of which constitutes a locking member. With the wheel in its securement position, the supporting member is moved whereby the locking member is displaced into engagement with the wheel rim to support same, and whereby the hook is displaced toward the backing member to press the wheel rim thereagainst.

Abstract: Spare wheel carrier having a bracket portion fastened to a chassis of a vehicle the bracket portion having at its lower side two hooks a first one of which being movable towards and from a second one, the second hook having a horizontally protruding leg for pivotally supporting the spare wheel at an edge surrounding a central opening through the wheel rim and for allowing the spare wheel to be pivoted to a substantially horizontal position in which the first hook engages an opposing portion of the edge. To lock the spare wheel securely against the bracket portion without use is being made of the wheel bolt holes of the rim the second hook has a portion movable to press the rim against the bracket portion or rubber elements provided on the lower side thereof. The two hooks are connected to a locking mechanism for locking the first hook in its position engaging the edge and the second hook in its position pressing the rim against the bracket portion.

Abstract: A vehicle includes drive wheels and a motor connected thereto with torque controlling apparatus and a slip indicating device. Excessive slip indications per unit time are monitored and cause reduction in the torque applied by the motor until the slipping is overcome at which time torque is gradually increased.

Abstract: In a motor-driven rail vehicle, an arrangement is provided for sensing oscillations in the drive system occurring in a predetermined frequency range, and to reduce the torque of the motor if the oscillation amplitude sensed thereby exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
