Abstract: A method and apparatus for storing and retrieving a number of PIN codes for protected-access devices, in particular smart cards and magnetic stripe cards, involves storage of the individual PIN codes together with a unique feature of the associated protected-access device in a special apparatus, in particular a pocket card reader. The data stored in the pocket card reader can be accessed by a freely selected access code. By entry of the access code and the unique feature into the pocket card reader, the PIN number associated with the unique feature is found and indicated on a display for a short time. The unique feature may be a serial number that is inputted into the pocket card reader via a keyboard or automatically determined and used by the pocket card reader. The stored unique features and particular associated individual PIN codes may be encoded by means of the access code before they are stored.

Abstract: A thin-well microplate and methods of manufacturing same are provided, wherein the thin-well microplate is conducive for use with automated equipment, such as robotic handling equipment, and in high temperature procedures, such as thermal cycling. The thin-well microplate is constructed of two components including a skirt and frame portion and a well and deck portion with a plurality of sample wells; both portions being joined to form a unitary microplate. Each of the skirt and frame and well and deck portions is constructed of a suitable material that imparts a specific combination of physical and material properties to the thin-well microplate. The skirt and frame portion and the well and deck portion are each constructed of the material that will allow each portion to withstand high temperature conditions and use of automated equipment, while retaining the physical characteristics each portion requires for optimal performance of the thin-well microplate. Such physical characteristics include, although not limited to, rigidity of the skirt and frame portion and thin-walled sample wells of the well and deck portion to permit optimal thermal transfer and biocompatibility. Methods of construction include forming the thin-well microplate as a unitary plate in a single, two-step process, wherein the skirt and frame portion is constructed of a suitable first material in a first step and the deck and frame portion is formed integral with the skirt and frame portion in a second step of a suitable second material. The unitary thin-well microplate plate is thereby formed of two materials for the required specific combination of physical and material properties. Another method of construction includes forming the unitary thin-well microplate in two separate manufacturing processes, wherein the skirt and frame portion is constructed of the first material in a first process and the deck and well portion constructed of the second material in a second process, and the skirt and frame portion and the well and deck portion are, thereafter, permanently joined by an adhesive system to form the unitary plate of the invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for measuring volume flow rates of liquid phase components and gas and determination their volume concentrations in a multiphase mixture along a pipeline. Measurements are executed with an ultrasonic system which includes a set of local acoustic transducers arranged in the interior of the pipeline. Each pair of an emitter and a receiver of the transducer forms a sampling volume of a medium being under control. Volume concentrations of mixture components are determined by timing of passage of acoustic pulses through the sampling volume of the medium. Volume flow rates of the mixture components are calculated by measuring phase velocities and volume concentrations in two pipeline divisions with different cross-section areas located in series at a distance one from the other in flow direction.

Abstract: At the transmitter side, carrier waves are modulated according to an input signal for producing relevant signal points in a signal space diagram. The input signal is divided into, two, first and second, data streams. The signal points are divided into signal point groups to which data of the first data stream are assigned. Also, data of the second data stream are assigned to the signal points of each signal point group. A difference in the transmission error rate between first and second data streams is developed by shifting the signal points to other positions in the space diagram. At the receiver side, the first and/or second data streams can be reconstructed from a received signal. In TV broadcast service, a TV signal is divided by a transmitter into, low and high, frequency band components which are designated as a first and a second data stream respectively. Upon receiving the TV signal, a receiver can reproduce only the low frequency band component or both the low and high frequency band components, depending on its capability.
