Abstract: A milking claw for a dairy animal has a bottom having an outlet tubular member having a flow passage of a first vertical height, and a nozzle having an opening passing milk therethrough from the claw bottom to the flow passage. The nozzle opening has a second vertical height less than the first vertical height, such that milk level in the claw bottom need only rise to the level of the second lower vertical height of the nozzle opening rather than to the level of the first higher vertical height of the flow passage of the outlet tubular member, to provide a pressure differential between the vacuum in the outlet and the vacuum in the claw, whereby to draw milk from the claw in smaller more frequent slugs as compared to higher volume less frequent slugs while otherwise waiting for milk level in the claw bottom to rise to the level of the first vertical height.

Abstract: A method and system for ranking objects based on relationships with objects of a different object type is provided. The ranking system defines an equation for each attribute of each type of object. The equations define the attribute values and are based on relationships between the attribute and the attributes associated with the same type of object and different types of objects. The ranking system iteratively calculates the attribute values for the objects using the equations until the attribute values converge on a solution. The ranking system then ranks objects based on attribute values.

Abstract: A toothed wheel is described for a play-free spur gear set, comprising a hub (1), with a toothed ring (2) supported by the hub (1), which ring is split into two partial rings along a dividing plane normal to an axis, namely into a ring piece (3) fixed to the hub and a ring crown (4) mounted to rotate coaxially relative to the above, and an annular spring (5) enclosing the hub (1) with the circumferentially-opposed ends (6) resting on support webs (7, 8) embodied integrally with both partial rings, overlapping each other in the axial direction and arranged behind each other in the circumferential direction of the toothed ring. In order to avoid any overload of the partial rings produced by way of powder metallurgy and to ensure simple constructional conditions it is proposed that the support web (8) of one partial ring ex-tends through the other partial ring in a through opening (9) with circumferential play and the support web (7) of the partial ring with the through opening (9) forms an assembly stop (10) defining the through opening (9) for the other support web (8).

Abstract: The invention relates to an installation for filling weekly blister packs, i.e packaging units (11), with doses of different medicaments corresponding to the weekly requirements of several patients and to be taken by the respective patient in a certain order according to the day of the week and the time of day, according to a doctor's prescription. Said installation is provided with output stations (19) associated with the medicaments, for automatically filling all or selected compartments (12) line-by-line. A longitudinal transport device (14) is used to sequentially transport the weekly blister packs to the output stations (16) that are individually associated with the different medicaments. The medicament doses are supplied to the output stations by means of transversal transport devices (17) individually associated with the medicaments. The longitudinal transport device and the transversal transport devices are co-ordinated in terms of transport course and transport capacity, in such a way that for each transport course of the weekly blister pack (11), in the direction of the gaps of the receiving compartment arrangement, and for each transport course of the transversal transport devices, in the linear direction of the receiving compartment arrangement, the receiving compartments (12) can be filled sequentially line-by-line, during synchronised stationary phases of the blister pack and medicament transport cycles. In order to control the output stations (16) in such a way as to fill the weekly blister pack with the prescribed medicament, an electronic control unit (41) processes information about patients, said information being continuously supplied to said unit in such a way that it is synchronised with the blister pack advancing movements.

Abstract: A method, and system, to induce remission in diseases characterized by excess production of sTNR and interleukin 2 has been developed. In the most preferred embodiment, the system consists of antibodies to sTNFR1, sTNFR2 and sIL2R  immobilized in a column containing a material such as SEPHAROSETM. The patient is connected to a pheresis machine which separates the blood into the plasma and red cells, and the plasma is circulated through the column until the desired reduction in levels of sTNFR1, sTNFR2, and IL2 is achieved, preferably to less than normal levels. In the preferred method, patients are treated three times a week for four weeks. This process can be repeated after a period of time. Clinical studies showed reduction in tumor burden in patients having failed conventional chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Granted: 2014-10-14
Abstract: A display pack for a consumer product is made of two sheets of corrugated cardboard and a clear plastic container with a flat insertion portion sandwiched between the cardboard sheets. The two cardboard sheets are adhered together in a peripheral area of the package by a heat-sensitive adhesive, and the corrugations of the cardboard sheets are crushed and flattened in the peripheral area. To seal the package, the peripheral area of the two cardboard sheets is subject to sufficient pressure to crush the corrugations inside the cardboard sheets and flatten them in that area. Heat is applied to the outer side of the cardboard sheets in the peripheral area and conducted to the adhesive material between the two sheets to activate the adhesive material. A  sealer machine with a heated sealing press or parallel sets of heated rollers may be used to carry out the sealing process.
