Title: Authenticating subscribers to digital exchnges using authenticating modules at network terminal and exchange
Inventor: STOLZ HELMUT
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1996-06-08
Abstract: A process and device is disclosed to authenticate subscribers to one or several exchanges of a digital communications network, in particular an ISDN network. Since the lines of communication between the subscriber connections and the exchanges are not protected, there is a danger of intrusion or eavesdropping by unauthorised persons. The object of the invention is therefore to make misuse of the exchange by unauthorised persons difficult or even impossible. For that purpose, a device for authenticating subscribers to one or several exchanges of a digital communications network has at least one subscriber network termination to which at least one data terminal may be connected. The invention is characterised in that at least one first authentication module is provided for each subscriber and can receive a first identification carrier, and in that at least one second authentication module that can receive a second identification carrier is provided at the exchange. Alternatively, a supplementary system is connected between the network terminations associated with the exchange and the exchange itself. The supplementary system contains at least one second authentication module that can receive a second identification carrier. The authentication modules can code and/or decode information by means of an individual, subscriber-specific code, in order to authenticate it unilaterally and/or bilaterally, and can exchange information with each other.

Title: Measuring micro-organism growth by detecting fluorescence of gas excited by square wave modulated light source
Inventor: BERNDT KLAUS W
IPC: G01N33/483
Filed: 1996-08-21
Abstract: Micro-organism growth in a culture vessel 1 is measured by detecting the fluorescence of a fluorescent chemical sensor material 3 which is produced or consumed by the micro-organisms.  The fluorescent material is excited by a square wave modulated light source 5.  The detected fluorescence is picked up by a photodetector 8 which produces a signal which is fed to splitter 9.  The splitter splits the signal into two harmonics of the square wave signal.  The ratio of the two harmonic signals is then used to calculate the degree of micro-organism growth.

Title: Stent of elastic material with covering to prevent stent expansion during initial placement
Inventor: RICHTER JACOB
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 1999-09-02
Abstract: A stent for deploying with a body lumen comprises: a stent body comprising an elastic material and is characterized by a free cylindrical shape having a free diameter and a covering on the stent body. Prior to expansion of the stent body the covering prevents the stent body from expanding towards the free diameter when the stent body is placed into a diameter smaller than the free diameter. The covering allows the stent body to be expanded to a useful diameter equal to or less than the free diameter.  After the expansion by a balloon catheter of the stent body once positioned in a target location of the body to a useful diameter less that the free diameter, the covering prevents the expanded stent from expanding towards the free diameter.

Title: Syringe spring retainer
Inventor: KAAL JOSEPH HERMES
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 2004-03-19
Abstract: A spring retainer (60) for a syringe (10) that has a barrel (40), a plunger (20), a spring (90) and a retractable needle (50) that can couple with the plunger for spring-driven retraction of the coupled needle and plunger. The spring retainer has first (70) and second (80) body members that cooperate to releasably maintain the spring in a compressed state until the plunger is coupled to the retractable needle after depression of the plunger to deliver the fluid contents of the syringe. Depression of the plunger triggers rotational disengagement of the first and second body members to allow decompression of the spring which forces retraction of the needle into the barrel. Rotational disengagement of the first and second body members also assists rotation of the plunger into a final, inoperable position.
