Abstract: An active noise reduction earbud includes a housing and a first feedforward microphone disposed in the housing. A first sound inlet opening extends through the housing and is configured to conduct external sound to the first feedforward microphone. The first sound inlet opening is configured to sit within a concha cavum of a user's ear and faces toward an auricle of the user's ear when the earbud is worn.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pre-impregnated fibre sheet extending in a longitudinal direction and in a transverse direction and comprising a first fibre layer forming part of an upper surface of the pre-impregnated fibre sheet and a second fibre layer forming part of a lower surface of the pre-impregnated fibre sheet, wherein the first fibre layer is pre-impregnated with an adhesion promotor. The present invention further relates to methods of manufacturing a blade shell member or wind turbine blade comprising a pre-manufactured spar cap and a number of pre-impregnated fibre sheets arranged to obtain an improved adherence between the blade shell and pre-manufactured spar cap, particularly when the pre-manufactured spar cap is resin infused with vinyl ester or epoxy resin and the blade mould is resin infused with polyester.

Abstract: A flow-enhancing fabric extends in a longitudinal direction and in a transverse direction. The fabric includes a plurality of fibre layers including a first fibre layer and a second fibre layer arranged upon each other, the first fibre layer has a first plurality of fibre bundles oriented in parallel in a first fibre direction and has a plurality of first glass fibre bundles and a number of first carbon fibre bundles. The second fibre layer has a second plurality of fibre bundles oriented in parallel in a second fibre direction different from the first direction and has a plurality of second glass fibre bundles and a number of second carbon fibre bundles. At least a number of first carbon fibre bundles intersect and contact a number of second carbon fibre bundles. The fabric has a plurality of monofilaments arranged between the first and second fibre layer along the transverse direction.

Abstract: A precured fibrous composite strip for a load-carrying structure for a wind turbine blade has a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end, a first side and a second side with a width defined as the distance between the first side and the second side, and an upper surface and a lower surface with a thickness defined as the distance between the upper surface and the lower surface. The strip includes a taper region with a taper length at the first longitudinal end. The taper region tapers in thickness towards the first longitudinal end. The taper region includes a first taper section proximal to the first longitudinal end and having a first average taper angle, a third taper section distal to the first longitudinal end and having a third average taper angle, and a second taper section between the first taper section and the third taper section.

Abstract: A transport and storage system, for servicing of a number of treatment and care areas in a hospital, is provided. The system connects each treatment and care area to a first transport route reserved for transport of clean goods to or from the treatment and care area, and a second transport route reserved for transport of non-clean goods to or from the treatment and care area, the first and second transport routes being separated. In the system, a partition is provided between the transport routes and the treatment and care areas, with a lock gate being included in the partition. The transport routes include a conveyor to containers, with the conveyor being connected to the lock gate and the containers having a container brim enclosable by an opening in the lock gate.

Abstract: A transport and storage system, for servicing of a number of treatment and care areas in a hospital, is provided since there to each treatment and care area is connected a transport route, which is reserved for transport of clean goods to or from a treatment and care area and a transport route, which is reserved for transport of non-clean goods to or from the treatment and care area, where the two transport routes are separated and a partition is provided between the transport routes and the treatment and care areas and where in said partition is a lock gate and the transport routes include a conveyor to containers, which conveyor is connected to the lock gate since the container has a container brim and the lock gate has a, to the container brim, enclosing lock opening.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for the preparation of idalopirdine and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring the retroreflectivity of a surface. The apparatus comprises a light source for illuminating an area of said surface at an incident angle relative to the surface; a detector for detecting light reflected back from the surface at an observation angle relative to the surface; a signal processing unit adapted to receive a detector signal from the detector and to determine, from at least the received detector signal, a measure of retro reflectivity of the surface; a range finder for measuring a distance between the apparatus and the illuminated area. The signal processing unit is further adapted to adjust the measure of retroreflectivity responsive to the measured distance.

Abstract: Described are crystalline forms of the pharmaceutical compound “[9S-(9?,10?,12?)]-5,16-Bis[(ethylthio)methyl]-2,3,9,10,11,12-hexahydro-10-hydroxy-9-methyl-1-oxo-9,12-epoxy-1H-diindolo[1,2,3-fg:3?,2?,1?-kl]pyrrolo[3,4-i][1,6]benzodiazocine-10-carboxylic acid methyl ester”, as well as methods for their use and preparation.
