Abstract: Disclosed is an auto injector for administering a medicament. The auto injector comprising: a housing; a cartridge receiver configured to receive a cartridge assembly comprising a cartridge and a cartridge code feature, the cartridge containing the medicament; a code sensor configured to read the cartridge code feature; a drive module coupled to move a plunger rod; and a processing unit coupled to the code sensor and the drive module. The processing unit being configured to: receive from the code sensor a code signal indicative of the cartridge code feature; control the drive module to move the plunger rod to a first plunger rod position, the first plunger rod position being based on the code signal; receive a trigger event; control the drive module to move the plunger rod to a second plunger rod position following reception of the trigger event.

Abstract: An ultrasound imaging system includes a probe with a transducer array with at least one transducer element that transmits ultrasound signal and receives echo signals produced in response thereto. The system further includes a console with a controller that controls the at least one element to transmit the ultrasound signals and receive the echo signals, and an echo processor that processes the received echoes and generates images indicative thereof. The system further includes a user interface with at least one control for interacting with the console. The user interface includes at least one recessed physical feature that facilitates identifying, through sense of touch, an operation activated by the at least one control.

Abstract: A fiber mat for use in the production of a component for a wind turbine, in particular a rotor blade, is provided. The component is curved at least in parts. The fiber mat includes several rovings being arranged side by side and being connected to one another in at least two connection areas, wherein at least one of the rovings is continuous between the at least two connection areas and wherein at least one of the rovings is discontinuous between the at least two connection areas. The fiber mat is advantageous in that the fiber mat can be laid along a curved path without producing wrinkles or crinkles at an inner edge of the fiber mat.

Abstract: A method for laying a fibre material on a mould surface is provided, in which rovings of the fibre material are laid on the mould surface or on a fibre material already laid on the mould surface, wherein the rovings are rolled from a reel which is held by a movable support which is being moved in a desired direction along the mould, wherein the support has at least one roller connected to the movable support by at least one articulated joint such that the roller holds down laid out rovings.

Abstract: A hearing aid is provided having a behind the ear component comprising a casing adapted to cover, accommodate or protect electronics components of the hearing aid. Further the hearing aid has at least one through going opening in the casing element and electronic switching elements placed at the through going opening. According to the invention a plate element is provided, which is mountable in the through going opening and adapted to form, when mounted herein, a surface flush with the casing. This plate element which covers the switches is used when the switches has been disabled such as is often the case with hearing aids for small children.

Abstract: An electronic device has two parts than can be opened and closed. A speaker is located in one body part and a sensor, located in the other, detects when the body parts are closed by sensing the magnetic field of the speaker.

Abstract: The invention relates to a microphone unit for use in connection with a communication device, where the microphone unit comprise:—a linear array of two or more microphones (A,B,C,D,);—a signal processing unit which receives the signals from a number of the microphones in the array and which through signal processing provides an output signal with a degree of direction-ality, output means for the signal resulting from the signal processing. According to the invention the microphones (A,B,C,D) are directional microphones of the dipole type mounted with the ports of the dipole pointing in the direction of the linear array thereby enlarging the port spacing of the microphones (A,B,C,D).

Abstract: An inflatable balloon is disposed into a body cavity and inflated to expand into the body cavity. A subcutaneously implanted, resealable catheter is coupled to the inflatable balloon. The resealable catheter provides repetitive access for an optical fiber disposed through a first lumen to illuminate the inner surface and for a radiation source disposed on the distal tip of a wire to provide repetitive long term, fractionated photodynamic and radiation therapy to tissues adjacent to the inner surface. A light diffusing fluid is disposed in the inflatable balloon. The catheter has a self-healing membrane coupled to and closing its proximal end. An insert is coupled to the proximal end and to the first lumen in the subcutaneous, resealable catheter.
