  • Patent number: 10926035
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cartridge holder of an injection device, the cartridge holder comprising a tubular shaped elongated sleeve extending in an axial direction to accommodate a cartridge filled with a medicament, wherein the sleeve (29) comprises: a proximal connecting end to connect with a distal connecting end of a body of the injection device, which body is configured to accommodate a drive mechanism of the injection device and which drive mechanism is operably engageable with a piston of the cartridge, a flange section extending radially outwardly from an outside surface of the sleeve and having a proximally facing abutment face to axially abut with a distal end face of the distal connecting end of the body, at least three protrusions located distally from the flange section, extending radially outwardly from the outside surface of the sleeve and being distributed around the circumference of the sleeve.

  • Patent number: 9863760
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for automated determination of a reference point of an alignment mark on a substrate of a photolithographic mask, which method comprises the following steps: (a) performing a first line scan within a start region of the substrate in a first direction on a surface of the substrate, the alignment mark being arranged within the start region, for locating a first element of the alignment mark; (b) performing a second line scan within the start region in at least a second direction, which intersects the first direction, on the surface of the substrate for locating a second element of the alignment mark; (c) estimating the reference point of the alignment mark from the located first element and the located second element of the alignment mark; and (d) imaging a target region around the estimated reference point of the alignment mark in order to determine the reference point of the alignment mark, with the imaging being carried out at a higher resolution than the performance of the

  • Patent number: 9717324
    Abstract: A method for producing a toothbrush comprises providing a head, a neck portion, and a handle; providing a coupling element; and combining the neck portion to the handle by the coupling element so that an irreversible connection is formed. The individual parts of the toothbrush to be formed can be produced in parallel or successively, wherein some of the parts can be produced by injection molding. A toothbrush formed by the method comprises a head, a neck portion, and a handle; these elements can be produced as building blocks separately and may be connected to one another via a coupling element to form an inseparable connection.

  • Publication number: 20170172834
    Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a massage device for the treatment of skin. The device comprises a body and an applicator for contacting the skin of a user. The applicator is mounted on the body. Further, a drive unit is provided for generating a translational back-and-forth movement of the applicator along a first axis having an amplitude of 0.2 mm to 1.5 mm. Finally, the amplitude can be varied between two different operation modes of the device.

  • Patent number: 9486066
    Abstract: A toothbrush comprises a head, a neck portion and a handle, wherein the neck portion and the handle portion are connected to one another via a coupling element. The connection is constructed as an inseparable connection, i.e., after being combined once, the neck portion and the handle cannot be separated without the brush being destroyed by such separation. A method for producing such a toothbrush may comprise the following steps: providing a head, a neck portion, a handle, and a coupling element, and combining the neck portion to the handle by the coupling element so that an irreversible connection is formed.
