Abstract: A diagnostic system for analyzing an analyte is described. In an embodiment the diagnostic system includes a fluidic single-use disposable and a base cooperatively coupleable thereto. In an embodiment, the fluidic single-use disposable comprises a sample processing subcomponent configured to receive a sample and emit signal light if the sample comprises an analyte; a fluidic single-use disposable housing encompassing the sample processing subcomponent, the fluidic single-use disposable housing comprising: a first major side; and a fluidic single-use disposable viewing window disposed in the first major side and positioned to allow light emitted from the sample processing subcomponent to pass through the fluidic single-use disposable viewing window. In an embodiment, the base comprises a base housing comprising: a first major side shaped to cooperatively couple with the first major side of the fluidic single-use disposable housing.

Abstract: Systems and methods for wireless synchronization in an implantable system include receiving, by a first computing device, a first synchronization signal; recording, by the first computing device, a first timestamp based on a time of receipt of the first synchronization signal; receiving, by the first computing device, a synchronization request comprising a second timestamp; determining, by the first computing device, a synchronized time offset based on the first timestamp and the second timestamp; transmitting, by the first computing device, a second synchronization signal; generating, by the first computing device, a synchronization message comprising a third timestamp based on a time of transmission of the second synchronization signal and the synchronized time offset; queuing, by the first computing device, the synchronization message during a non-accessible transmission time slot; and wirelessly transmitting, by the first computing device, the synchronization message to a second computing device during an

Abstract: A pitch controlled wind turbine comprising a tower, a nacelle mounted on the tower, a hub mounted rotatably on the nacelle, and at least three wind turbine blades is disclosed. Each wind turbine blade extends between a root end connected to the hub via a pitch mechanism, and a tip end. The wind turbine further comprises at least three blade connecting members, each blade connecting member extending between a connection point on one wind turbine blade and a connection point on a neighboring wind turbine blade, the connection points being arranged at a distance from the root end and at a distance from the tip end of the wind turbine blade. The wind turbine further comprises at least three pre-tension members, each pre-tension member being connected to one of the blade connecting members and to a hub part, the pre-tension members thereby providing pre-tension in the blade connecting members.

Abstract: A surgical assembly and system are disclosed. The system comprises a first generator for generating a first signal for use in generating an electrical field proximate a site of a surgical procedure for removing particles suspended proximate the surgical site. The assembly further comprises a surgical tool comprising a tool-piece communicatively couplable with the first generator and a second generator, the second generator being arranged to generate a second signal for use in cutting or cauterizing biological tissue of the patient during the surgical procedure, the assembly further comprising a switching assembly for switching the application of the first signal and second signal to the tool-piece and a controller for controlling the application of the first signal and second signal to the tool-piece.

Abstract: An electronic module for an inhaler includes a printed circuit board and electronic components configured to detect at least a status and/or at least a working parameter of the inhaler when the electronic module is attached to the inhaler. A battery is permanently joined to the printed circuit board. A first terminal and a second terminal are electrically connectable one to the other through a main switch to close a circuit between the battery and the electronic components. In a rest configuration, the first and second terminals are electrically separated by the main switch. In a work configuration, the first terminal and the second terminal are electrically connected one to the other through the main switch.
