Abstract: A method for verifying a person's identity using biometric data, comprises recording current biometric data that is input into a sensor by the person, and comparing previously recorded biometric reference data with the current biometric data in order to check whether an alignment condition has been fulfilled. If such is not the case, an indication is produced, on the basis of a result of the comparison, that the person is to change the input to the sensor in order to improve the alignment between the current biometric data and the biometric reference data. It is preferably also calculated and indicated how the user is to change the input. A computer program product and a device are also described.

Abstract: The method involves transmitting a periodic signal from a subscriber unit at an initial predetermined power level. The power level is increased at a predetermined ramp up rate. The periodic signal is detected at a base station when a sufficient power for detection is achieved. A signal from the base station is transmitted which confirms the periodic signal has been detected. The confirmation signal is received at the subscriber unit. The predetermined power level ramp up rate is stopped when the confirmation signal is received. The initial predetermined power level is lower than the power level required for detection by the base station. The power level of the signal is increased at a second predetermined rate which is less than the first rate.

Abstract: A method of adjusting the pH of a strengthening melt to provide an adjusted melt for use in microetching glass substrates, such as glass disk substrates for use in data storage devices. A base is added to the strengthening melt to raise its pH. A desired degree of microetch is provided on an aluminosilicate glass disk substrate, for example, by immersion for 2-4 hours at 360° C. in a melt adjusted to have a pH of 10. This single operation both strengthens and microetches the glass substrate. A slight etching of the surface of a glass substrate, i.e., microetching, improves the performance and durability of a data storage disk made from the substrate. To avoid an overly aggressive etch that can create undesirable damage to the substrate surface, an acid may be added to the melt if the pH is subsequently determined to have shifted to above an upper limit.

Abstract: A fire proof treatment solution capable of resolving problems, such as low solubility leading to low concentration and hence low combustion inhibiting effect and water solubility leading to a disadvantage of eluviation, of boron compounds used as a constituent of flame retarding treatment solution. In particular, a fire proof treatment solution produced by adding phosphoric acid and a silane coupling agent to a weak acid or weak alkali aqueous metal salt solution containing a boron compound to thereby obtain a mixed aqueous solution and adding a plant extract composed mainly of a polyphenol compound to the mixed aqueous solution. This fire proof treatment solution can be widely applied to members composed mainly of cellulose, such as wood, paper and natural fibers. This fire proof treatment solution can increase the fixation of chemicals to thereby attain a high combustion inhibiting effect and can minimize the occurrence of eluviation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for separating film layers ( 8 ), which consist of different materials and are joined together in an air-thigh manner by adhesion, a material bond or similar forms of bonding, in a simple manner. In this case, separation means that only one respective layer ( 18 ) is pierced and raised by rotation by means of a screw-type thread ( 16 ), allowing a gaseous medium, (e.g. air) or liquid medium, (e.g. water) to be introduced into the gap that has been created between said layer and the second film layer ( 17 ). The method and the device are characterised in that they are simple and can be applied in any position on the film workpieces. No additional openings, distances, valves or similar in the films therefore need to be considered and no prior material treatment, (introduction of separation elements) is required in order to subsequently fill bags that are produced in this manner. Production costs are thus minimised, handling times are reduced and material expenditure or the creation of composites by the introduction of other materials is avoided.
