  • Patent number: 9174425
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for laminating a first and a second sheet with a plane carrier (10) and a drum shaped carrier (20) for carrying a respective sheet. The apparatus has a first main operational mode wherein the drum shaped carrier (20) is at distance from a first carrier surface (12) of the plane carrier (10) in said third direction (Z), and a second main operational mode wherein the drum shaped carrier (20) is close to first carrier surface to bring the first and the second sheet (1, 2) in contact with each other. In the first main operational mode the drum shaped carrier (20) is virtually rolled over the first carrier surface (12) and the sheets are mutually aligned. In the second operational mode the sheets are laminated.

  • Publication number: 20100185112
    Abstract: A device (100) for measuring a concentration of NO in exhaled air is provided. The device (100) comprises a mouthpiece (11), an NO sensor (12), an airway obstruction measurement and an analysis module. The mouthpiece (11) receives the exhaled air during an exhalation. The NO sensor (12) measures the concentration of NO in the exhaled air. The airway obstruction measurement module determines an airway obstruction parameter. The analysis module (16) analyzes an inflammatory status of a respiratory system based on a combination of the measured concentration of NO and the determined airway obstruction parameter.

  • Publication number: 20080311300
    Abstract: The composition is suitable for the provision of monolayers on selected surfaces. Thereto, it comprises a first compound able to form a monolayer on a first surface, and a second compound able to form a monolayer on a second surface that is different from the first surface, which first and second compounds are chosen such as to be mutually at least substantially inert. The selected surfaces may be present on a single substrate, which allows homogenization, and the provision of masking surfaces covering part of the underlying surfaces. The selected surfaces may alternatively present on different substrates, allowing the use of a printer with a standardized printing pattern.
