Abstract: A system including a first unit (2) consisting of a card capable of interacting with a second unit (3) that enables access to a function (1) only under certain conditions. Both units are designed to run software for generating passwords by encrypting a plurality of dynamic variables such as a time-dependent variable and/or a variable dependent on the number of authentication requests received. Encryption is performed using a dynamic encryption key. To synchronise the values of the variables simultaneously but separately generated in the two units, only a few lowest-weight digits of each variable are transferred from the first unit (2) to the second unit (3) by adding them to the transferred password. The synchronisation data is combined with corresponding variables in the second unit in order to calculate a value therein that normally leads to a match between the passwords calculated in the respective units. The match may then enable access to the function.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un implant médical enduit de matériau polymère ayant des propriétés hydrophiles et ostéoconductrices. Une fois implantée à une certaine profondeur dans un organisme vivant, l'implant absorbe l'humidité via son matériau polymère qui, par son gonflement produit un effet tendant à dissiper la sollicitation externe appliquée sur l'implant. L'augmentation volumétrique considérée a aussi pour effet de mettre l'implant en contact étroit avec l'os du lieu d'implantation, améliorant ainsi remarquablement la stabilité dès les premiers instants qui suivent l'implantation et renforçant encore l'osséointégration de l'implant dans l'os avec le temps.

Abstract: Cards are fed to and held on a sorting table (10) which rotates between various analysis positions. Cards are fed to and held on a sorting table (10) which rotates between various analysis positions. Cards with contact functioning electronic chips are detected by passing test contacts; cards with contact functioning chips or magnetic strips are identified by optical examination of the card structure; cards based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are detected by a Beilstein test involving pyrolysis and those based on acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) are identified by infrared inspection. An independent claim is made for an equipment for the automatic sorting process. Preferred Features: PVC based cards are identified by pyrolysing and by detecting light emission in the 500-530 nm range. ABS based cards are identified by the nitrile groups through measuring the absorption of the card in the infrared range with wave lengths of 4.2-4.6 microns. The sorting table (1) is circular and has rectangular, radially arranged card holders (11) in which cards are held by vacuum. Movement of the sorting table is incremental between identification, punching and ejection equipment (a-e) located opposite each segment of the sorting table. Chip-carrying telephone cards are identified by test heads passing over cards to sense contact faces. Optical investigation is by a light source directed at a specific onto the cards on the table and an optical sensor which distinguishes between cards with contacts and those with magnetic strips. Copper powder and binder in a solvent are applied before the pyrolysis which is effected by laser or by spark excitation using copper electrodes. Openings in the base of the sorting table allow for punching out chips. Remaining cards are ejected from the base of the card holders either mechanically or with compressed air.

Abstract: The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxides (NOx) to ammonia comprises the use of a zeolite catalyst partially exchanged with copper, with a silicon/aluminum (Si/Al) ratio of 0.8-20, and which does not generate nitrogen protoxide. The zeolite has a structural arrangement of SiO4 and AlO4 tetrahedra which give rise to small cavities through the windows of 6 tetrahedra and to big cavities accessible through windows formed of at least 8 tetrahedra. The exchange rate with copper is 5-60%. The catalyst has by two waves of hydrogen consumption in a temperature program, the first wave corresponding to less than 800 degrees C and the second one to above 800 degrees C. The hydrogen consumption corresponds to the peak of the second wave being sensibly equal to half mole of hydrogen per mole of copper in the solid, which comprises two peaks (P1 and P2 respectively) resolved by Gaussian deconvolution, the ratio A1/A2 of the areas corresponding respectively to peaks P1 and P2 being greater than 1.5. Independent claims are included for: (A) a mixed faujasite of formula Cu(x)M'(y)M(z)FAU can be used, in which: FAU represents the cubic faujasite network with an Si/Al ratio of 0.8-20; M' is a metal of valency 2, 3 or 4 of ionic diameter 0.16-0.28 nm; M is H<+>, Na<+> or K<+>, preferably Ca<2+> or lanthanide ion, or a mixture of lanthanide ions; and x, y and z are the respective theoretical exchange rates in copper II ions, M' and M ions expressed in % of the total exchange capacity of the faujasite, and are given by: x is greater than or equal to 5 and less than or equal to 60; y is greater than or equal to 20 and less than or equal to 70; and z is less than or equal to 100-x-y, where the mixed faujasite has the same characteristics as the above zeolite; and (B) the production of a zeolite, comprising: (i) selecting a zeolite of Si/Al ratio 0.8-20, where SiO4 and AlO4 tetrahedra are disposed in such a way as to give rise to small cavities through the windows of 6 tetrahedra and to big cavities accessible through windows formed of at least 8 tetrahedra; (ii) subjecting the zeolite to an ion exchange by contacting a solution of a metallic element of valency 2, 3 or 4 of ionic diameter 0.16-0.28 nm, in well defined conditions such that an exchange rate of 20-60% is achieved; (iii) calcining the resulting product to 350-650 degrees C; (iv) subjecting the calcination product to an ion exchange with a copper salt solution in well defined conditions such that an exchange rate of 5-60% is achieved; and (v) calcining the resulting product to 350-650 degrees C.
