Abstract: The procedure consists of having the data to be loaded onto a card encrypted with the aid of a secret key held by the person authorised to programme the card. The card also has a public key able to decode data, and both the secret and public keys form part of an asymmetrical encrypting algorithm, e.g. an RSA algorithm. The data used with the system is formatted to the ISO 9796 standard, and the card is able to reject any data after decoding which is not in the prescribed format.

Abstract: A controlling interface unit (3) is linked to a plurality of
event sensors (1) associated with a premises. There is at least
one means of establishing communication, using wired
communication lines (4, 7; 6, 10) or radio transmissions (5, 8;
9, 13) between this interface unit (3) and, on the one hand, a
remote alarm receiving centre (11) for monitoring the sensors (1)
at the premises, and, on the other hand, a remote auxiliary
facility (14) for filtering out potential false alarms from those
premises. The interface unit (3) is capable of routing signals
originating from a selected type of sensor (1) to the auxiliary
filtering facility (14) instead of or in addition to transmitting
the same signals to the alarm receiving centre (11). Depending
on the circumstances feedback signals may then be transmitted
from the auxiliary filtering facility (14) to the controlling
interface unit (3) to negate an alarm condition. 
     Optionally, a memory unit (15) may be linked to the controlling
interface unit (3) to store data from the event sensors (1) for
a limited time period. This data is then transmitted to the
auxiliary filtering facility (14) along with any signal from the
selected type of sensor to assist in determination of whether the
alarm is valid.

Abstract: A multiple docking system allows multiple dock units to be
connected to the bus of a primary unit notebook computer.
The system uses multiple bridges between the primary bus of
the primary unit and secondary buses in each of the dock
units. The system allows for hot docking or docking of the
multiple dock units to the primary unit while the primary
unit is operational, without the latency impact associated
with buffers on the primary bus. Instead, a docking signal
is generated to a bridge in first dock unit as the second
dock unit is docked. This causes the bridge to complete bus
transactions between the primary bus and the first dock
unit's secondary bus. The bridge also generates a float
request signal to the primary unit and then floats the
secondary bus only after receiving a float grant signal
back.

Title: Device for intensive biological waste-water treatment
Inventor: BOENISCH HELMUT
IPC: C02F3/08
Filed: 1998-01-19
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for intensive biological waste-water treatment with freely moveable immersed biofilm, combined with mixing devices and, optionally, the introduction of air. The freely moveable immersed biofilm is used to immobilize specific micro-organisms in certain areas for waste-water treatment. In comparison with previously known devices, the invention is characterized in that the clarification process is more intensive due to the additional freely moveable, suspended/ floating immersed biofilm and its proportional oxygen supply from a special mixing device, provided upon emergence into the atmosphere in addition to aeration from fine bubbles. A substantially greater utilization of oxygen is obtained by enriching the air of the recycled sludge or waste-water through multiphase pumps. According to the invention, the activated sludge process is combined with the freely moveable immersed biofilm process in an installation. Said freely moveable biofilm is introduced into a sewage-treatment basin (1) as a biofilm carrier with an activated surface to immobilize specific micro-organisms in association with appropriate mixing devices (7) having a scooping effect due to paddles (3) and the proportion of activated sludge (6). Waste-water (4) flows through the sewage treatment basin (1) which comprises a retaining device (5) for the freely moveable immersed biofilm (2).

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un film ( de carbone et/ou diamant) destiné à un dispositif à émission par effet de champ, qu'il est possible de mettre en oeuvre dans un dispositif d'affichage d'ordinateur et que l'on fabrique en procédant à l'attaque d'un substrat (704) puis en formant un dépôt constituant le film (705). L'attaque crée des sites de nucléation sur le substrat destinés au processus de formation du film par dépôt. Ce procédé permet d'éviter la formation d'un motif sur le film à émission. Ce type de film s'avère utile à la fabrication d'un dispositif à émission par effet de champ. Un tel dispositif consiste en une cathode possédant un film continu qui n'a pas subis d'attaque et présente de ce fait des caractéristiques d'émission supérieures. Un pixel de la cathode est constitué du film à émission déposé directement sur le substrat et du conducteur déposé sur une des faces du film à émission. Selon une réalisation de l'invention, l'émetteur est disposé à l'intérieur d'une fenêtre formée dans la couche conductrice.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a modular prosthetic conduit implantable within a mammal and a method of surgically implanting and replacing such a conduit. Specifically, the present invention is directed toward a conduit comprising a first conduit member composed of a biocompatible alloplast and coated on its exterior surface with a porous biocompatible tissue-bonding material. The present invention is further directed toward a second conduit member composed of a biocompatible alloplast. The second conduit member contains a region or component that can be expanded radially by mechanical, hydraulic, chemical, electrical, temperature sensitive or other physical means. The second component can be easily slid into or out of the first conduit member and at temperatures approaching a mammal's body temperature, it expands to form a watertight "docking" fit within the first conduit member. The second conduit member may contain remotely actuable valve and pump. Both the first conduit member and the second conduit member may be altered with respect to size, geometry and shape so as to affect conduits, reservoirs, sampling chambers and tissue-prosthesis interfaces. By way of altered size, geometry and shape, the modular prosthetic conduit may serve to drain bodily fluids, give access to intracorporeal organs, deliver drugs or chemicals or energies into the body. Both conduits may be impregnated with antimicrobials to lessen the risk of bacterial colonization.
