Abstract: An administration device for intravitreal administration of a fluid wherein a second actuation part of the administration device is configured to axially block a plunger rod and/or a first actuation part of the administration device, where in the second actuation part is to be actuated in order to axially release the plunger rod and/or the first actuation part such that the first actuation part can be actuated. The administration device has a securing member that is configured to block a back-movement of the plunger rod and/or the first actuation part at least in an initial position and/or in an administration position of the plunger rod and wherein the securing member is configured to block actuation of the second actuation part before reaching the administration position of the plunger rod.

Abstract: An incremental advance dispenser includes a barrel which has a longitudinal axis, a muzzle end, and an opposite breach end. A shuttle is slidably connected to the barrel and movable with respect to the barrel along the longitudinal axis. A cup which carries a product is movable within the barrel along the longitudinal axis. The shuttle is positionable to an extended position toward the muzzle end of the barrel, and to a retracted position toward the breach end of the barrel. Movement of the shuttle to the extended position from the retracted position causes the cup to move an incremental distance toward the muzzle end of the barrel.

A plurality of tweeters can be distributed around the sub-woofer, facing generally forward and generally outward. The outer housing portion of the speaker can be covered with a fabric material. A user interface ring 162 can be touch sensitive to receive input, and can have a plurality of lights that can be illuminated separately to convey information to the user.

Abstract: A refrigeration system includes a compressor having a hermetically sealed housing and a compression mechanism which is positioned inside the housing; a condenser which is fluidly connected to the compressor; an evaporator which is fluidly connected between the condenser and the compressor; a magnetic coupling having a drive coupling half positioned outside the housing and a driven coupling half positioned inside the housing and separated from the drive coupling half by a separation wall portion of the housing; and a fluid conduit for communicating a portion of liquid refrigerant from the condenser to an inside surface of the separation wall portion. During operation, the liquid refrigerant from the condenser is evaporated on or adjacent the inside surface of the separation wall portion to thereby dissipate heat generated by magnetically induced eddy currents in the separation wall portion.

Abstract: A refrigeration system includes a compressor having a hermetically sealed housing and a compression mechanism which is positioned inside the housing; a condenser which is fluidly connected to the compressor; an evaporator which is fluidly connected between the condenser and the compressor; a magnetic coupling having a drive coupling half positioned outside the housing and a driven coupling half positioned inside the housing and separated from the drive coupling half by a separation wall portion of the housing; and a fluid conduit for communicating a portion of liquid refrigerant from the condenser to an inside surface of the separation wall portion. During operation, the liquid refrigerant from the condenser is evaporated on or adjacent the inside surface of the separation wall portion to thereby dissipate heat generated by magnetically induced eddy currents in the separation wall portion.

Abstract: A mixing assembly, device, system and method for operating are provided which includes a powder assembly holding a first container containing a powder, the powder assembly having a powder dispensing means for dispensing a predetermined quantity of the powder, a liquid assembly holding a second container containing a liquid, the liquid assembly having a liquid dispensing means for dispensing a predetermined amount of the liquid, and a mixing bowl for receiving the predetermined quantity of the powder and the predetermined amount of the liquid.

Abstract: A propulsion system for an appliable product, includes a distal tube which has an open end. A proximal tube is rotatably connected to the distal tube on a common central axis to form a cavity. A holder which carries the appliable product is shaped and dimensioned to slide in the cavity along the common central axis. A line having two strands connects the distal tube and the proximal tube. When the proximal tube is rotated with respect to the distal tube, the two strands of the line twist together and the line exerts a force upon the holder so that the holder moves toward the open end of the distal tube.

Abstract: Improved adhesion of powdered and particulate color and flavoring to dry snack foods such as, but not limited to: chips, pretzels, crackers, and puffed, popped, baked or extruded compositions is provided. The improved adhesive is a milk or water based composition with added high quality protein selected from one or more of milk, whey, milk concentrate, whey concentrate, isolated milk protein, soy concentrate, soy milk, soy isolate, egg, egg white, egg protein isolate, or combinations from animal, grain or legume sources with an essential amino acid composition that meets human growth and maintenance standards. The improved adhesive is applied to the surface of snack foods providing an adhesive surface for binding dry flavoring and colors. Examples show snack food compositions with improved nutrient content including reduced fat content, an increase in protein content and a beneficial increase in the protein quality measured by the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score.
