Abstract: An inductive position-measuring device includes a scanning element and a graduation element movable relative thereto along a direction. The scanning element has an excitation conductor, and first and second receiver tracks each having a receiver conductor, which extends along the direction according to first and second periodic patterns, respectively, over a length. A graduation track has graduation structures formed of ridges and gaps. The ridges have different widths, or the gaps have different depths or different widths, in the direction. The receiver conductors of the first and second receiver tracks are configured to generate first and second signals having first and second period lengths, respectively, wherein n times the first period length equals m times the second period length, with m and n being relatively prime, and n times the first period length and m times the second period length both being less than or equal to the length.

Abstract: An inductive angle measuring device includes a scanning element and a scale element having scale tracks. First and third scale tracks have an equal first number of scale structures, and a second scale track has a different number of scale structures. The scale tracks are arranged circumferentially and concentrically about an axis, such that the first scale track is located radially inwardly, the second scale track is located radially between the first scale track and the third scale track, and the third scale track is located radially outwardly. The scanning element includes receiver conductors by which the signals having angle-related signal periods can be generated. The first signal period is equal to the third signal period. An overall signal can be generated from the first signal and the third signal and can be combined with the second signal for determining absolute angle position information.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide for deployment of an integrated development environment configured to include one or more tools associated with specific code portions being executed within the integrated development environment. A user may provide a request to access one or more projects and definition files associated with the one or more projects may be evaluated to determine one or more tools used for execution of the source code of the one or more projects. The one or more tools may be automatically incorporated into whichever integrated development environment the user selects to ensure proper execution of the code without manual updates or installation by the user.

Abstract: A container for re-suspending sedimented medicament comprises a reservoir for containing a suspension of particles in a liquid, a dispensing portion, and a sealing portion. The sealing portion is arranged to be in fluid communication with the reservoir via an orifice. The orifice is positioned between the dispensing portion and the sealing portion, and allows a turbulent flow of the liquid from the reservoir into the sealing portion to enable re-suspension of particles that have sedimented out of the liquid in the sealing portion.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and tangible computer-readable memory media are disclosed that relate to a video player configured to play a video file. During playback, the video player, in one embodiment, is configured to access metadata relating to, but separate from, the video file to dynamically display graphical content distinct from the video file. A server system may receive, from a client computer system (e.g., of the video owner), information specifying metadata for the video file. This metadata may specify the display of overlay graphics and/or navigation graphics, the overlay of audio, etc. Additionally, the metadata may specify items needed to perform a process depicted in an instructional video; upon playing the video, the video player may provide one or more purchase links for such items. In one embodiment, a server system may edit the underlying video file—e.g., to include overlay graphics.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing a sterile suspension of a glucocorticosteroid. The glucocorticosteroids used in the invention are preferably antiinflammatory glucocorticosteroids. By making the last stage of product preparation be the sterilization process, the potential for contamination during manufacture and heat degradation of products is greatly reduced.
