Abstract: A flexible, capacitive touch sensor, and a method of manufacturing a plurality of such touch sensors, are provided. The capacitive touch sensor comprises a thin, flexible, transparent, insulating substrate. A thin, flexible, transparent layer of resistive material is applied to one side of the substrate, and a thin, flexible, transparent, pressure-sensitive layer of adhesive material is applied to the substrate's other side. A releasable sheet may cover this adhesive layer. A plurality of thin, flexible electrodes, electrical leads and conductive areas are applied to the resistive layer. A thin, flexible, transparent layer of protective material protects the touch sensor's active touch area. Compounds may be added to this protective layer to enhance its conductivity and lubricity. A reel-to-reel process for manufacturing a plurality of such capacitive touch sensors also is described.

Abstract: The integrating A/D converter comprises an operation amplifier (OA), whose output and whose inverted input are interconnected by a capacitor (C). Charges can be supplied to and drawn from said capacitor via a signal input (INP) and a reference resistance (R0) that is connected to a reference voltage (Uref) during periodic segments (T1, T2) of a working period (T0). Said charges can be balanced by the modification of the periodic segments (T1, T2) in such a way that the number of clock pulses of a clock pulse signal (TCK), which elapse during one of the periodic segments, constitutes a digitally representable measurement for the magnitude of the input signal (usig) that is applied to the signal input (INP). The non-inverting input of the operation amplifier (OA) is connected to the reference voltage (Uref) via a first resistance (R1) and to the ground potential (GND) via a second resistance (R2). The reference resistance (R0) can be connected to the reference voltage (Uref) by means of a switch (SL1) during the first periodic segment (T1) and to the ground potential (GND) during the second periodic segment (T2). Provided that the two resistances (R1, R2) have the same resistance value, the power loss in the reference resistance (R0) remains constant and is independent of the magnitude and the polarity of the applied input signal (usig), thus preventing errors during signal processing.

Abstract: A process is for data input into an electronic data processing means that has an input and an output, and wherein a program runs in a loop that cyclically queries whether an input voltage whose magnitude is greater or small than a specified threshold value is present at the input. One pole of a voltage source is applied via a series connection made up of a first, a second and a third resistance to the other pole, whereby the voltage dropping at the third resistance forms the input voltage. The first resistance and the second resistance can be regulated.

Abstract: The detection label is applied to the wall (12) of a housing from the outside and covers an opening (11) in the housing wall (12). The transparent adhesive layer (5b) enabling the transparent film (6b) to be joined to a piece of paper (1) is also used to fix the detection label to the wall of the housing (12), whereby the adhesive-coated film (6b) protrudes from the piece of paper (1) in a ring or frame-shaped manner. A water-fugitive dye (2) is applied to the lower side of the piece of paper (1), said dye migrating to the upper side of the piece of paper (1); where it becomes visible, owing to the effect of moisture. Said modification is easily recognisable even for an untrained eye, since the upper side of the label appears as a plain white colour prior to the migration of said dye. Excessive moisture is not indicated by modification as per prior art- but by the appearance of a coloured area, whereby the indicating function is more particularly performed using a heavily contrasting dye (2) colour. The dye (2) can be applied all over the surface, in points, strips or stick-shapes. Inscriptions, corporate logos or other symbols are also possible.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil, un système ainsi qu'un procédé permettant de prévenir ou traiter les mucilages associés aux cathéters. Un élément piézo-céramique peut être attaché à un cathéter tandis qu'un processeur de vibrations peut être relié à l'élément piézo-céramique. Le processeur de vibrations peut fournir des signaux électriques qui génèrent des vibrations acoustiques dans l'élément piézo-céramique, créant ainsi des vibrations dans le cathéter ou autour de celui-ci. Ces vibrations peuvent être spécialement administrées dans le but de disperser des colonies de microbes, prévenant ou inhibant ainsi la formation de mucilages générateurs d'infections. Les vibrations peuvent être considérablement amplifiées dû aux conditions de résonance régnant dans le cathéter à ballonnet et peuvent être suffisamment puissantes pour être utilisées dans la dispersion de colonies de microbes qui se sont regroupées autour du cathéter ou qui essaient de s'y regrouper.
