Abstract: A communication system for transmitting accounting instructions has central and decentralized devices. Accounting instructions input by individual users at the decentralized devices are checked for authenticity and retransmitted to the central devices to be processed. According to the invention, the communication system has at least virtually networked devices, means of an independent second communication system (2) with stationary devices (21, 22/1, 22/2) and portable communication transmitters (23) which communicate therewith in an encrypted manner. The stationary devices (21, 22/1, 22/2) of the second communication system (2) may be at least temporarily connected to the central devices (11) of the first communication system (1). Accounting instructions given by individual users with the portable communication transmitters (23) of the second communication system (2) can be previously authenticated in one of the central devices (11) of the first communication system. A previously authentified encrypted accounting code can be stored at least temporarily in the portable communication transmitters (23) of the second communication system (2); and the previously authentified, encrypted accounting codes can be transmitted to a decentralized device (12/1 to 12/3) of the first communication system independently of the first and second communication systems (1, 2) to conclude the accounting operation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a manufacturing method of an artificial organ comprising a material having a solubility parameter delta  of not more than 13 (cal/cm<3>)<1/2>, and a microporous membrane having a portion coated with a fat-soluble modifier. The manufacturing method is composed of the steps of: filling micropores of the body fluid treatment membrane with a filling solution, which has no or little solubility with a fat-soluble modifier solution; and coating a portion of the body fluid treatment membrane with the fat-soluble modifier by contacting the fat-soluble modifier solution. This may allow only necessary portion to be coated with the fat-soluble modifier so that a smaller amount of the fat-soluble modifier may be employed.

Abstract: The invention concerns a light fixture which has a linear lighting field, is suitable for forming lighting trunking and is reduced to the parts essential for its operation, the light fixture housing consisting directly of an integral reflector arrangement (1) which is designed mirror-symmetrically relative to a vertical light fixture centre plane containing the light fixture longitudinal axis. The reflector arrangement consists of a thin-walled material whose surface, at least in partial regions, is finely structured by surface deformation in reinforcing manner. The reflector arrangement further comprises, remote from its light-outlet opening (2), a pair of outwardly projecting, mutually parallel legs (14) for accommodating electrical and/or mechanical light fixture components. Connection elements for a trunk arrangement of the light fixture are formed either by end wall parts (3) of the light fixture itself or individual elements (8). To that end, the end wall parts comprise on an inner side facing the reflector arrangement (1) an insert groove (33) matching their profile. Provided on its outer side is a tongue-and-groove profile (35, 36) via which the end wall parts (3) can be inserted one into the other at the ends, in pairs and flush so that their contours match. Further structural elements (for example, 7, 7', 8 and 94) and luminous components (for example, 91 to 93) complete the light fixture structure to form a lighting system.

Abstract: Normalement, il arrive que lorsqu'une station mobile dans un système de communication mobile AMCR recherche un canal autre que le canal de communication, la télécommunication avec une station de base de la cellule soit interrompue. Le procédé de l'invention permet d'éviter la perte d'informations due à cette interruption. Ledit procédé comprend une première opération de transmission (période durant laquelle la puissance de transmission est représentée par p, comme l'illustre la Fig. 10c) consistant à transmettre des signaux de la station mobile à la station de base, à une vitesse de transmission (R1) et à un niveau de sortie de transmission (P1). Ensuite, une opération d'interruption (période durant laquelle la puissance de transmission est égale à 0, comme l'illustre la Fig. 10c) consiste à interrompre la transmission des signaux entre la station mobile et la station de base. La seconde opération de transmission (période durant laquelle la puissance de transmission est représentée par 2p, comme l'illustre la Fig. 10c) consiste à transmettre les signaux à une vitesse de transmission (R2), supérieure à la vitesse de transmission (R1), et à un niveau de sortie de transmission (P2), supérieur au niveau de sortie de transmission (P1). Au cours de cette seconde opération de transmission, il est alors possible de transmettre les informations non transmises durant la première opération.

Abstract: The invention describes techniques for the electrostatic printing of functional materials configured as liquid toners (50) on glass substrates (26) in a non-contact mode. The toners are patterned by a sensitized electrostatic printing plate (11) of fixed image configuration. Toner images (50) are transferred by an electric field (33) across a fluid filled mechanical gap (42) to the glass substrate (26). Techniques for optimizing the imaging and transfer processes are also disclosed. Two other techniques in which partially finished pieces are manipulated to "self-print" themselves, are described. In both cases defects in the pieces will over print the defect in the "self-healing" mode.
