Abstract: A method and a device for anti-theft security in parking lots is presented. A vehicle driving into a parking lot is optically and/or physically surveyed for a first time and the resulting data are recorded. On leaving, a second measurement takes place. By means of a data comparison with the first measurement, the release of the vehicle is controlled. The characterisation of the data occurs by means of the entrance time and the corresponding gate of entrance. With an admissible variance of the data, the data memory is cleared after the vehicle leaves and is available for use by further vehicles. A preferred device is based on video pictures (5,5' or 6,6') and uses an automatic picture analysis and a correlation of the picture information in conjunction with a control computer/memory (20). <IMAGE>

Abstract: For the biological removal of phosphate from water or waste water, bead-shaped biocatalysts having polymer-fixed microorganisms are used. The biocatalysts are prepared from a solution of polyvinyl alcohol and microorganisms in water by dropwise addition and shock freezing in a very cold liquid medium and subsequent slow thawing of the resulting beads, which as a result become elastically deformable and very stable. Treatment of the water or waste water by the biocatalysts is carried out in a reactor with the addition of oxygen and of suitable carbon-containing compounds. Microorganisms are used which can store phosphate at up to about 20% of their dry weight. If the biocatalysts are loaded to a large extent, regeneration is carried out by not supplying any further water or air to the reactor, the phosphate, as a result, returning to the water from the biocatalysts. This water, having a relatively high concentration of phosphate, is discharged and calcium phosphate is precipitated therefrom. The bead-shaped biocatalysts used are resistant to abrasion and are mechanically stable and can thus be used for a multiplicity of cycles.
