Patent EP-1360636-B1 (EP)
Inventor: WIKLOF CHRISTOPHER A
IPC: G06K7/10

Abstract: A scanner such as a bar-code scanner includes a scan-beam generator, a beam reflector having a first magnet, and a beam-sweep mechanism having a second magnet. The beam-sweep mechanism causes the reflector to sweep the scan beam across a target such as a bar-code symbol by exerting a force on the first magnet with the second magnet. In one example, attraction between the magnets holds the reflector steady in a non-sweep position. Conversely, in a sweep position, repulsion between the magnets causes the reflector to oscillate and sweep the scan beam across a target such as a bar-code symbol. Because it does not include a motor for rotating a beam-sweep mirror, the scanner is often smaller and uses less electrical energy than motorized bar-code scanners.

Abstract: A valve body for a valve includes a body having an internal cavity formed therein. An inlet passage and an outlet passage are formed in the body. The inlet passage has an inlet opening in communication with the internal cavity, and the outlet passage has an outlet opening in communication with the internal cavity. A circumferential sealing surface is formed on a wall of the internal cavity. The circumferential sealing surface extends between the inlet opening and the outlet opening and circumferentially around the internal cavity. Furthermore, a bottom line extending through the inlet passage, the internal cavity and the outlet passage forms a coplanar surface to allow for free-drainage of the body.

Abstract: In a method for the production of tablets from plant extracts such as St. John's wort extract with an extract content of 80%, the extract treated on a conveyor dryer is compacted after adding 1% of silicon dioxide, and a granulate with a defined particle size distribution and therefore a defined surface area is produced from the compactate. To achieve a high rate of decomposition and active agent release with a low adjuvant content and high extract content, a combination of blasting agents including sodium hydrogencarbonate and two other, lower-dosed blasting agents such as croscarmellose sodium and sodium carboxymethyl starch-among other adjuvants-is added. The method results in a tablet suitable for oral administration containing 900 mg of St. John's wort extract.
