Abstract: A computer-implemented method can be used for monitoring spray delivery of drug-containing liquid for remedying a discomfort. The method involves a) receiving first input data, the first input data containing a number of delivered puffs as detected by a counter of a spray device during an intake period, b) receiving second input data containing user state data representative of self-reported perceived discomfort level, particularly pain level, and/or self-reported perceived side effect severity during the intake period, the user state data being obtained from a user input via a user interface of an application, c) determining, based at least on the first input data and the second input data, a suggested number of delivered puffs for an upcoming intake period, and d) outputting, via the user interface, user instructions indicating the suggested number of delivered puffs.

Abstract: A tension member protection system includes two or more shell elements arranged circumferentially around a tension member which together surround a cavity that receives the tension member. A plurality of joining sleeves, each of which is associated with one of the two shell elements, is designed and arranged on the shell elements in such a way that, in a cavity forming state, they interlock so that their through-holes in the longitudinal direction of the tension member protection system only overlap completely when the two shell elements lie with their contact surfaces against other. A rod-shaped element is designed to be passed through the through-holes of the interlocking joining sleeves.

Abstract: A method for installing a prestressing element in an anchor block, in which the prestressing element is attached to a holder, includes the holder being moved to the anchor block, the prestressing element being introduced into a through-opening of the anchor block, and the prestressing element being fixed to the anchor block. The holder can be attached to the prestressing element at a distance which is selected so that the length of the projection of the prestressing element on the side of the holder facing the anchor block is greater than the length of a portion of the prestressing element, which is required for introducing the prestressing element into the through-opening and fixing the prestressing element to the anchor block.

Abstract: An apparatus is configured to de-ice a surface of a casing tube of a tendon that is exposed to weather influences, or to guard the case tube against ice forming on the case tube, where the tendon is anchored to a structure by an anchoring device. The apparatus includes a power device, one end of which is directly or indirectly in force transmitting engagement with the anchoring device and the other end is directly or indirectly in force transmitting engagement with the casing tube. The power device is configured to move the casing tube relative to the anchoring device in the circumferential, radial and/or axial direction in relation to the longitudinal extension direction of the casing tube.
