Abstract: An apparatus for aerosol creation in particular in a cooling, lubricating apparatus for tools or work piece comprises an injector apparatus to which a carrier gas and a fluid may be supplied. At an outlet (23) of the injector apparatus, a gas jet (25) with fluid droplets therein exits that is directed onto a deflection body (13) with a structured surface and that streams along same. The deflection body can, for example, be formed by a cone or a truncated cone with a step-shaped shell (coating surface). In order to be able to vary the particle size, the distance between the deflection body and the outlet of the injector apparatus can be variable.

Abstract: This invention provides a system and method for electronic value payment in which a practical and secure means for auditing and accounting electronic value is achieved. The invention offers a means for identifying "blocks" of electronic value with single electronic tags. This facility makes the invention compact to implement and offers a practical way for tagging in circumstances where large amounts of electronic value, such as required for electronic representations of money, preclude the use of individual unit tagging. The invention combines block tagging with tag flow control mechanisms which allows block auditing and detection of counterfeit value. Independent tag (10) and value (12) representations make it possible to operationally change the tag associated with a block of value. The electronic value representations of the invention are readily applied to existing value exchange systems. The invention may be applied alongside existing value storage mechanisms, to enhance security, or as a replacement for them. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A communication system is provided which can provide a broadband communications link into a number of homes and business. The communication system comprises a base station for broadcasting communications in the microwave frequency to a number of user stations within a cell. Some of the user stations can communicate directly with the base station while others communicate with the base station via intermediate user stations. To achieve this and to provide robustness for changing channel characteristics, each user station is adapted to re-transmit the communications which it receives. Most user stations and the base station therefore receive multipath signals and an orthogonol frequency division multiplexing technique is used to overcome the problems caused by the reception of multipath signals.
