  • Publication number: 20240108821
    Abstract: A cartridge for a nebulizer having a connection element, includes: a container containing a fluid to be nebulized; a closure having a connection port for fluidically and/or sealingly connecting the container to at least one of the nebulizer and a delivery mechanism thereof; and a sealing element disposed between the closure and the container for forming a sealing, where the sealing element is adapted to sealingly receive the connecting element of the nebulizer after passing through the connection port.

  • Patent number: 7406824
    Abstract: The circuit comprises a main hydraulic pump (52), two main ducts (50, 54), a booster pump (56), a hydraulic motor (10; 20) which comprises two elementary motors (11, 12; 21, 22) for driving a first displacement member (1, 2), and a second hydraulic motor (30; 40) for driving a second displacement member (3, 4). The second elementary motor (12) is in parallel with the second main motor (30) while the first elementary motor (11) and the second main motor (20) are connected to a feed or discharge additional duct, e.g. via a series link between them. The booster pump (56) is connected to the additional duct, e.g. an interconnection duct (60; 62) for interconnecting the first elementary motor (11; 21) and the second main motor (30; 40). A replenishing valve (70) is suitable for connecting one of the main ducts to a pressure-free reservoir (51) and the circuit further comprises means (72) for preventing said replenishing link from being established on detecting a condition that reveals a spin situation.

  • Publication number: 20070035856
    Abstract: A multi-axis positioner comprising: a fixed part (40) having drive mounts (42, 44, 46) for receiving a plurality of drive inputs and a movable part (30) having surfaces for attaching a sample, wherein multiple drive trains, one for each of up to six motion axes, connect the drive inputs to the movable part. The whole device has a cuboid shape with the movable part fitting inside one corner. All the motion axes are driven by access through the two internally facing sides of the movable part, leaving all other sides free for sample mounting and/or external access. The whole device can be mounted in any orientation, e.g. on its side or upside down. It has flat mounting surfaces on each side, on the top and bottom and on the front. Only the rear is not available for mounting, since it is reserved as a drive input face for receiving the micrometer, or other, drives.
