Abstract: A bag transfer mechanism for moving intravenous medication delivery bags includes linear actuator and a pantograph mechanism. A proximal end of the pantograph mechanism is coupled to the linear actuator such a that the pantograph mechanism is configured to extend when the linear actuator travels in a first direction, and to retract when the linear actuator travels in a second direction. The bag transfer mechanism also includes a magnet coupled to a distal end of the pantograph mechanism.

Abstract: Systems and methods for parallel medication processing are disclosed herein. Such methods can include receiving a request for preparation of a plurality of dosed medication delivery containers, determining at least one attribute of the request for preparation of at least one dosed medication delivery container, identifying a template corresponding to the at least one attribute of the request, the template identifying steps and a step sequence for filling the dosed medication delivery container, and executing the template. Executing the template can include iteratively assigning tasks to a plurality of stations within the automated dosing device, the performance of which tasks at least partially overlap, and directing a transport tool to move at least one medication delivery container between the stations of the automated dosing device.

Abstract: Generally, embodiments described herein take the form of a carrying tray for billiard balls, a case for billiard balls, or both. Certain embodiments may likewise carry a billiards rack, chalk or other billiards items. An embodiment may be generally triangle-shaped. Other embodiments may be square-shaped, rectangular shaped or rounded in shape. One or more protrusions, such as a handle or base, may project from the main body of the tray or case. The interior of the tray or case defines a number of features for carrying the billiard balls and billiards rack.

Abstract: The apparatus has an elongate and vertically running carrier (90) for pressure sensors (50), which precedes a group of levers (71 ). The cross section of this carrier (90) is arcuate, so that it has two flanks (93, 94 ). During the testing of a leg garment (80), this carrier (90) simulates the region of the shin. The apparatus has, furthermore, moldings or stays (88) which are carried by the levers and which simulate the rear face of the calf or of the thigh of a leg. The width of these stays corresponds to the width of the calf or of the thigh of a leg. The apparatus also comprises two longitudinally running groups (50) of pressure sensors, one of which is in each case assigned to outside of one of the flanks (93, 94) of the carrier (90). The leg garment (80) to be tested, in order to test it, is slipped over this apparatus in such a way that it lies on the outer faces both of the carrier (90) and of the stays and exerts pressure on the pressure sensors (51).

Abstract: A pallet display comprising a four way pallet on which the merchandise is supported in two or more layers. Two or more pallet displays can be stacked for storage and transport. The permanent base may comprise a metal frame which can be covered by a base wrap containing graphics relating to the merchandise on display. The base wrap can be folded and is stored and transported with the pallet display. Additionally, the base can include cut-outs for forklift arms that allows the pallet display to be moved after the base wrap can include cutouts for forklift arms that allows the pallet display to be moved after the base wrap is applied.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for operating a front-loading washing machine with a washing aggregate comprising of a tub holding a rotatably-mounted drum suspended in the machine housing so as to be able to oscillate with a midaxis descending from front to back and equipped with an imbalance sensor that changes the rotation of the drum by means of a control program when an imbalance occurs in the spin cycle. In many cases of operation involving small amounts of sensitive types laundry an improved spin result can be achieved, by attending to the preset optimum filling amounts, taking into account the weight and absorbency, and by disabling the imbalance sensor and running the spin cycle at maximum speed.

Abstract: A hitching towing arrangement for a motor vehicle is connected with a rear-side cross member. The arrangement forms a bumper unit and is provided with a deformation element. The cross member is connected by way of holders with side members of the vehicle body. The holders can be fastened by way of expansion screws to the side members.

Abstract: A sole structure for a shoe or an inner sole, includes two layers. A first layer is an upper layer exhibiting a diffusion porosity, while the second layer is a lower layer, which is made of a fibrous material containing absorbent fibers. The upper and lower layers are placed one atop of the other and needle-bound together. A method for producing the sole structure is also provided.

Abstract: An inflatable roof for a passenger car extends in the inflated condition between a windshield frame and a rear area of the vehicle body and is divided into a plurality of air chambers. So that, while the drag coefficient is acceptable, a sufficient stiffness of the roof is achieved and, furthermore, any balloon-like swelling-up of the roof during the inflating of the air chambers is avoided, it is provided that the roof has air chambers with different pressure levels (operating pressure).
