Abstract: Techniques include using, in addition to IMU signals, audio captured by one or more microphones on a wearable device to determine whether a gesture has been made, and if so, which gesture has been made. The IMUs provide a first electronic signal to processing circuitry on the wearable device in response to detected motion. The one or more microphones provide a second electronic signal to the processing circuitry in response to detected audio resulting from a gesture. The processing circuitry determines whether a predefined gesture has been made based at least on the first electronic signal and the second electronic signal. If the processing circuitry determines that the predefined gesture was made, the processing circuitry performs an operation on the wearable device corresponding to the predefined gesture.

Abstract: In a device for separating solid particles from liquids and gases in flexible disposable plastic containers, a plurality of filter elements, consisting of flat, elongate support grids with filtrate drain channels and a covering, all-round closed filter medium, are connected to form a filter package and enclosed by a flexible plastic container. This disposable filter system is operated in a pressure vessel and can be compressed there by applying an external pressure in such a way that the residual volume of the suspension is considerably reduced. As a result of the stable design, backwashing of the filter elements is possible, which prevents the build-up of a dense layer of solid particles and can therefore lead to increased filtrate flow.
