Abstract: A system for formulating a performance metric of a motion such as water sport motion, preferable a swimming stroke, includes a wearable sensor device including 4 pressure sensors, a 9 degrees of freedom inertial measurement unit (IMU), a microprocessor communicating with the pressure sensors and the IMU, and waterproof housing in the form of a flexible silicone band to house the microprocessor, the pressure sensors and the IMU. The system includes an external computer communicating with the device for receiving and combining input data from each of the pressure sensors and the IMU, via the microprocessor, and a processing unit configured to combine the input data from both the at least one pressure sensor and the IMU. The input data is used to infer at least one force magnitude and at least one force direction, the input data being used to provide the performance metric of the water sport motion.

Abstract: The present invention relates, in various embodiments, to a portable device configured to perform processing operations in respect of fluid stored in a container. For example, some embodiments include a device which is configured to be inserted into a container holding fluid, and remain at a predefined level within that container. In some embodiments that predefined level is determined by the positioning of a magnet on a sidewall of the container. Although the present invention is described primarily in connection with such examples, it will be appreciated that further embodiments find wider application.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to a liquid handling apparatus, comprising: a capsule configured to store a liquid reagent; a liquid handling device, comprising: a first conduit in fluidic communication with a first port; and a second conduit in fluidic communication with a second port; and a capsule interface mechanism configured to create: a first opening in the capsule in fluidic communication with the first port; and a second opening in the capsule in fluidic communication with the second port; wherein creating the first opening and the second opening allows the liquid reagent to be removed from the capsule.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to a liquid storage cavity, comprising: a base; one or more walls extending from the base, wherein the liquid storage cavity has a volume defined by the base and the one or more walls; and a periphery at which the one or more walls are joined to the base, wherein at least a portion of the periphery includes a peripheral recess defined by the base and at least one of the one or more walls, wherein the peripheral recess is configured to house a volume of liquid.

Abstract: An insertion device for an IUD. The insertion device comprises an introducer having an elongate hollow body and a first end and a second end, the hollow body defining an elongate passageway extending from the first end to the second end and defining openings at the first end and the second end, and a pusher provided or configured to be provided inside the elongate passageway such that the pusher is movable through or along the passageway. The passageway is sized to accommodate an IUD such that the IUD is slidable along the passageway. Further, the second end of the introducer that abuts the fundus of the uterus in use is configured to have an increased surface area relative to prior art devices so as to reduce the risk of injury, including perforation of the uterus.

Abstract: Described herein are to frameworks and methodologies configured to enable real-time adaptive delivery of skills training data based on monitoring of user performance data. Embodiments of the invention have been particularly to enable real-time control over a performance instruction user interface (for example in terms of rate), and/or control over delivery of media data (for example in terms of rate and/or pan/zoom position).

Abstract: A container (10) to dispense a liquid such as sauce. The container (1.0) has a resilient deformable body (11) that may be compressed to dispense the liquid from the interior (55) of the body (11). Mounted on the body (11) is a cap (37) that is movable along a path (axis 13) between a closed position and an open position. In the open position the upper opening (38) is open to allow the liquid to be dispensed. Preferably the path is linear.

Abstract: An improved adhesive dressing assembly comprising an adhesive dressing and first and second backing sheets. The adhesive dressing comprises a sheet of flexible material with a first face and a second face with a central section and first and second arm sections extending in opposite directions from the central section. The sheet of flexible material is folded back on itself at a first fold between the central section and the first arm section and a second fold between the central section and the second arm section so that the first surface of the sheet of flexible material faces outward in all of the sections. The second surface of the central section is opposed to the second surface of the first arm section and the second arm section and the first surface is adhesive on at least a part of each section. The first backing sheet is releasably adhered to the first surface of the first arm section and the second backing sheet is releasably adhered to the first surface of the second arm section.
