A flexible pouch with multiple compartments for packaging a product includes a wall having an inner surface and an outer surface, and an upper edge, an opposed lower edge and a side edge extending therebetween the upper edge and the lower edge. A mid-seam separates the wall into discrete compartments, and the mid-seam is a frangible seal that remains intact when a pressure within the pouch is below a predetermined bursting pressure, and breaks when the pressure within the pouch is greater than the predetermined bursting pressure. The pouch also includes an opening means integrally formed in at least one compartment for accessing a product contained within the pouch. A method of filling the multi-compartment pouch with a product includes the steps of simultaneously opening each compartment of the pouch using a pair of opposed first grippers positioned on each side edge of the pouch, a pair of opposed second grippers positioned on an upper edge of the pouch, and a pair of opposed suction members positioned on each compartment wall, and simultaneously pushing the first grippers inwardly and second grippers and suction members outwardly. The method further includes the steps of filling at least one of the opened compartments with a product applying a closing sealing to seal the filled compartments.

The invention relates to a reaming tool which has on its enveloping surface substantially helical flutes. High hardness cutting materials are brazed or soldered to the base material of the reaming tool. Thus, a cost-favourable manufacture of a reaming tool is provided. The invention makes it possible for the shaft and the head of the reaming tool to be made of solid carbide metal, the shaft and the head preferably constituting the one and same integrate body. A considerable improvement is obtained as regards the processing quality, the speed, and also the durability of the tool. This is based on the fact that the chip removal elements are sintered or brazed into the base body of the head initially shaped with the helical flutes, so that a material joint of high quality is provided compared to other joints.

The present invention relates to a transfer case for distribution of a driving force on a first axle (9) and a second axle (8) of a motor vehicle. The transfer case (1) is arranged between the first axle (9) and the second axle (8). The transfer case (1) includes a planetary gear (3) with a central gear (4) (for example, a sun gear), a central gear (5) (for example, an internal gear), and a planetary pinion support (6) with multiple planetary pinions (7), as well as an electrical machine (2). The electrical machine (2) is connected with an element (4, 5, 6) of the planetary gear (3). The distribution of the driving force on the two axles (8, 9) takes place according to the present invention by means of controlling the electrical machine (2), in order to produce a predetermined moment of rotation on of the elements of the planetary gear (3), whereby the moment of rotation of the two other elements of the planetary gear, which is connected respectively with one of the axles, are fixed.

A micromechanical structure includes: a substrate; a seismic mass movable relative to the substrate along a first direction parallel to a main plane of extension of the substrate; a first electrode structure is connected to the substrate; and a second electrode structure connected to the substrate. The seismic mass includes a counterelectrode structure having finger electrodes situated between first finger electrodes of the first electrode structure and second finger electrodes of the second electrode structure, along the first direction. The first electrode structure is fastened to the substrate by a first anchoring element in a central region of the micromechanical structure, and the second electrode structure is anchored to the substrate by a second anchoring element situated in the central region.

Method of operating a medical device and secure control system (1) comprising a medical device (2) and a medical device controller (4), the medical device controller comprising a communications module (17) including at least a short range wireless communications capability for communication with one or a plurality of consumer electronic devices (12) including any one of a smartphone, a personal computer, a smartwatch and a computer tablet, wherein each of the medical device (2) and the medical device controller (4) comprises a memory storing one or a plurality of journals (16) for exchange of journal entries between the medical device controller (4) and the medical device (2), and between said medical device controller (4) and said one or a plurality of consumer electronic devices, the at least one journal (16) stored in the medical device controller (4), the consumer electronic device (12), and the medical device (2), said at least one journal comprising past instructions exchanged between the medical device controller (4) and the consumer electronic device (12) and between the medical device controller (4) and the medical device (2), constituting a journal entries history, the method comprising: f) receiving in the medical device controller (4) pairing parameters from a consumer electronic device (12); g) comparing in the medical device controller these pairing parameters with pairing parameters stored in the memory (14) of the medical device controller (4) during a pairing operation; h) receiving in the medical device controller (4) a journal entries history of said consumer electronic device (12) in case of a successful pairing operation; i) comparing in the medical device controller the journal entries history received from said consumer electronic device (12) with the journal entries history stored in the memory (14) of the medical device controller (4); j) validating a session between said consumer electronic device (12) and the medical device controller (4) for data exchange if the journal entries history of said consumer electronic device matches the journal entries history of the medical device controller.

A system for measuring and cutting includes a portable measuring unit and a cutting unit. The measuring unit includes a transmitter and a measuring processor in communication with the transmitter. The measuring unit includes a first retractable tape measure having a first variable resistance wire and a sensor, the measuring processor having programming for determining first distance data and for transmitting that data. The cutting unit includes a saw and a receiver for receiving the first distance data transmitted from the measuring unit. The cutting unit includes a second tape measure with a second variable resistance wire, sensor, and processor for determining a second distance. When the second distance measurement is equal to the first distance measurement, an indicator is actuated so the user knows to actuate the saw to cut the workpiece. The system, therefore, eliminates inaccurate measurements and the need to remember or record measurements.
