  • Patent number: 12281510
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a load carrier for a vehicle having a lid and a base connected along at least one edge by at least one hinge. The at least one hinge includes a first connection member and a second connection member. The first connection member is configured to be pivotably connected to the base or lid at a first proximal end, by a first pivotable connection, and the hinge is releasably connected to the base or lid via the first pivotable connection by a lock member. The second connection member is connected to the other one of the base or lid at a second proximal end. The hinge is configured such that when the lid is opened by pivoting the first connection member with respect to the pivot axle, a distance between the first proximal end and the second proximal end increases.

  • Publication number: 20250028307
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of providing structured data of an additive manufacturing process includes providing a first type of data (i) with coded information about a machine set up and/or about a prepared build job, providing a second type of data (ii) with coded information about a build area, providing a third type of data (iii) with coded information about a quality monitoring during the manufacturing process, the information from each type of data being different from one another, and mapping the first, the second and the third type of data to a voxel field (Vn). Each voxel of the field, representing a three-dimensional portion of a 3D-model of the component to be manufactured, is correlated to the first, second and third type of data in a coded way. A related data structure product, apparatus, communication apparatus, and additive manufacturing device are provided.

  • Publication number: 20240010261
    Abstract: Disclosed is a stroller chassis with a hub. The stroller chassis comprises a first frame assembly and a second frame assembly. The hub is configured to couple the first frame assembly to the second frame assembly pivotably about a pivot axis and releasably lockably with respect to each other. The hub is configured to detachably and lockably support a carrying structure on the chassis. The hub is configured to support the carrying structure relative to the chassis pivotably about the pivot axis and lockably in a rotational position. Also disclosed is a stroller chassis with a hub. The hub is configured to detachably and lockably support a carrying structure on the chassis. The hub is configured such that fully unlocking the carrying structure from said hub to allow detachment may be caused by operation of only one release member.

  • Patent number: 9278119
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a Wnt5a protein or peptide thereof possessing Wnt5a signaling properties, such as Foxy5, for use in the treatment of prostate cancer, in particular in patients that have undergone or will undergo radical prosteatectomy. The invention also relates to a method for determining a prognosis for a patient having prostate cancer and a kit for performing said method. The method for determining a prognosis for a patient comprises the steps of: evaluating an amount of Wnt5a protein present in at least part of a sample earlier obtained from the patient and determining a sample value corresponding to the evaluated amount; comparing the sample value obtained in step a) with a reference value associated with a reference prognosis; and, if said sample value is higher than said reference value, concluding that the prognosis for said patient is better than said reference prognosis.

  • Patent number: 8943644
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vacuum cleaner comprising an electric motor 3 and a blower producing an air flow through the vacuum cleaner. The electric motor and the blower are placed on a common vertical axis 17. A separator unit 13 is placed laterally with respect to the common axis of the motor and the blower. A bent conduit 19 connects the blower with the separator unit, and one end 21 of the conduit encloses the common vertical axis. The conduit comprises a portion located along the common axis 17 having a double wall forming a closed air pocket 23. This provides damping of noise emitted by the blower/motor and which propagates in the opposite direction of the air flow.

  • Patent number: 8674060
    Abstract: Loss of Wnt-5a protein expression in breast carcinoma patients is associated with a shorter recurrence-free survival as well as increased motility in mammary cell lines. Based on sequence analysis of Wnt-5a, peptide fragments were identified and investigated for their ability to mimic effects of the Wnt-5a protein on mammary cell adhesion and motility. Two of these peptides significantly increased adhesion and impaired the motility of non-tumorigenic breast cancer cell lines, both low in endogenous Wnt-5a protein expression. To identify the shortest possible peptide that still had an anti-motile effect, sequential deletions of two amino acids from the N-terminal side of the shorter of these two peptides were performed. The effect on tumor cell adhesion was gradually lost, and when only 6 amino acids remained the effect was not detectable. However, formulation of the N-terminal methionine of this hexapeptide restored its effect on adhesion and reduced tumor cell motility.

  • Patent number: 8601736
    Abstract: A method for stabilizing a weapon, eg a rifle or a handgun, barrel movements when aiming by attenuating the influence of, primarily, unintentional barrel movements on the barrel orientation. The method is especially characterized in the steps of providing a hinge (3) between the barrel front part (1), which comprises the barrel (1?), and the weapon rear part (2), which comprises the weapon butt end (2?), for mutual movability between said parts; continuously detecting the barrel longitudinal direction movement in at least two planes; and controlling at least one angle between the butt end and the barrel longitudinal direction orientation, respectively, by means of a control system (4h, 4v, 5h, 5v, 6h,6v) so that changes in the barrel orientation are counteracted. The invention also relates to a device and a fire arm.

  • Patent number: 8459130
    Abstract: The invention provides a device for extraction of a defined sample volume from a larger sample volume. The device includes a body having a reference surface and a measuring cavity extending from a part of the reference surface into the body, thereby forming at least one opening plane substantially uniform with the reference surface. An information carrier is applied to or distributed with the device, having direct or indirect volume information about defined volume established for the cavity. The invention also relates to a method for determining the volume of such a cavity, to a set of at least two such devices, to a method for dilution of at least two liquid samples by using at least two such devices, to an analytic instrument, to a method for operating such an instrument, to a system including the device and the instrument, and to a method for operating the system.

  • Patent number: 8033186
    Abstract: The invention provides a device for extraction of a defined sample volume from a larger sample volume. The device includes a body having a reference surface and a measuring cavity extending from a part of the reference surface into the body, thereby forming at least one opening plane substantially uniform with the reference surface, the body being adapted for reception of an excess sample volume at the cavity and elimination of sample above the reference surface to leave in the cavity a measured sample volume having the defined volume. An information carrier is applied to or arranged for distribution with the device, having direct or indirect volume information about the defined volume established for the cavity.

  • Publication number: 20110124574
    Abstract: One third of all breast cancers are estrogen receptor alpha (ER?) negative, have a poor overall prognosis and do not respond well to currently available endocrine therapies. Use of a Wnt5-? protein or a peptide thereof, such as a recombinant Wnt-5a protein or a Wnt-5a derived hexapeptide (Foxy-5) possessing Wnt-5a signaling properties, enables restoration of ER? expression and makes it possible to treat such breast cancers with selective estrogen receptor modulators, such as tamoxifen, or aromatase inhibitors.
