Abstract: Known surgical tool cabinets (12) have several tools (14, 16) whereby each tool has a foot switch disposed under the surgical table (10). Consequently, the surgeon can mistake the foot switches when he bends over the surgical table and unable to see said foot switches in that position. The aim of the invention is to minimize the risk of the surgeon mistakenly switching on an instrument other than the one he is using. This aim is achieved by a switching arrangement comprising at least one selector switch (24, 44) for the selection of a tool (16) and one master switch (26) for switching on/off the selected tool. As a result, a given tool can only be switched on from the master switch if the selector switch is actuated and the tool in question selected. Given that only the master switch is now provided, the risk of the assistant staff confusing various foot switches is eliminated.

Abstract: A connection is established between a user's
computer (UPC) and an access system (AccSys) comprising a
server (AS) for receiving and assigning IP addresses, an
authentication unit (AAA), and an access-control node
(PRY) with a memory (MEM). Identification data (UID, PW)
are sent by the user (UPC) to the server (AS) and from
the latter to the authentication unit (AAA) for
comparison with stored data. An IP address is assigned to
the user and a user code including this IP address is
entered in the memory (MEM) of the control node (PRY).
When the user requests access to an Internet page, the
server (AS) forwards the request to the control node
(PRY) which examines the memory (MEM); if the user code
is in the memory, a connection is established between the
user's computer (UPC) and a node (PS) containing a
predetermined Internet page, the latter is sent to the
user's computer (UPC), and the user's code is cancelled
from the memory (MEM); if the user code is not in the
memory, a connection is established between the user's
computer (UPC) and a node (OS) containing the Internet
page requested and the latter is sent to the user. A
predetermined page is thus presented to users as soon as
they establish a connection with the access system,
irrespective of the page actually requested.

Abstract: Disclosed is a liquid phase adsorption process for removing and concentrating heteroatom compounds in hydrocarbons (HCH), comprising the steps of adsorption, copurging and regeneration. In the adsorption step, a liquid hydrocarbon stream is fed to an adsorber, which adsorbs HCH and returns adsorption effluent. In the copurging step, HCH, which are extracted from the previous regeneration, are applied to the adsorber, displacing the copurging effluent. In the regeneration step, a polar solvent is flowed through the adsorber, purging HCH. Most of the HCH are then set aside for use in the next copuring step, while a small amount of the HCH are taken out from the process as HCH product. The present invention is economically advantageous in effectively removing HCH from hydrocarbon streams and increasing the concentration of HCH within an HCH product.

Abstract: A program-up or program-down activation on a control remote device effects the selection of the next or prior available channel that is likely to contain a program of a particular selected genre, or category. The invention includes an identification of those programs that are likely to relate to each particular category. When the user selects a category, the user is provided a means for incrementally selecting the programs contained within the selected category. In a preferred embodiment, a list builder includes a number of capabilities for improving the selective quality of the program selection, having access for example to an information source that provides the time of each scheduled program on each channel, and an indication of each program's genre, rating, and other related items. In like manner, the creation of the lists or the selection of the appropriate list are enhanced and improved based upon expressed and implied user preferences that are determined, for example, by a history of the user's past selections and/or past rejections. The invention also includes the display of program information to aid the user in the selection process; the program information may include text, video, animations, and links to other sources of information.
