Abstract: The invention relates to a detector arrangement in an instrument for analysis of discrete liquid sample volumes in the microliter and/or nanoliter range contained in microchannel structures that are present in a disc shaped microfluidic device. The suggested detector arrangement comprises a detector head, supported to be driven and controlled for linear displacement and positioning in a first radial plane through a central axis of an associated rotary drive. A rotary member is carried for rotation about said central axis in a second radial plane in parallelism with said first radial plane. A vacuum source is connected with the rotary member and in air flow communication with a planar top surface of the rotary member for a wide area distribution of sub-pressure over said top surface, the rotary member carrying the disc shaped substrate in adhering contact with the top surface for spinning the substrate in equidistant and equiangular relation to the detector head.

Abstract: Mobile devices are becoming multimedia terminals which can send and receive video as well as audio and text mesges. A sender 11 can transfer content data 13 to a receiver 12. It is described how somebody could edit and adapt a video clip and send it by attaching a pre-defined filter signal 14 which adds suitable effects to the clip (colour adaptation, overlaying of icons, fade between en scenes, etc.). Instead of using the filter to edit the video clip before transmission, the filter 14 is transmitted with the video content 13, so allowing the receiver to view the clip with or without the filter, or use a different filter.

Abstract: The method relates to the protected transmission of data (D0-D4), the coding (‘S,’ ‘0’-‘F’) of which is represented, respectively, by a sequence (FR0-FR4) of a predefined number of on and off values (Z1, Z0). A count value (C) representing the predefined number is formed by changing the count direction (F, R) after each on value and incrementing or decrementing the count value with each off value. An error information (F1, F2) is generated if a first end value (EC), which is transmitted together with the data as a coded sequence (SIG) of the count value C, differs from a second end value (EC1, EC2), which, like the count value, is formed from the transmitted sequence. The method is advantageously used in identification systems (IS), in mobile data carriers (DT) and in read-write devices (SLG). This affords the advantage that a data transmission error can be detected quickly and with high reliability by using a simple forward and backward counter (CNT). The counter can be implemented with little circuit complexity by a simple software program or by an electronic circuit, e.g., by a binary cycle counter.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé faisant appel à une préforme tissée tridimensionnelle imprégnée d'adhésif permettant d'assembler deux composants respectivement pourvus de broches en z s'étendant à partir de surfaces d'adhérence. Lesdits composants et la préforme sont assemblés de façon que les surfaces de la préforme soient en contact avec les surfaces des composants et que les broches en Z pénètrent dans la préforme. L'adhésif contenu dans cette préforme est ensuite durci, ce qui crée une adhérence entre la préforme et les composants et maintient les broches en z au sein de la préforme. L'adhésif peut être durci à température ambiante ou par application d'une chaleur sur le composant extérieur. Autre possibilité : un faisceau électronique peut être employé pour durcir ledit adhésif. L'utilisation de broches en z dans la zone d'adhérence ainsi que d'un adhésif au lieu d'une résine permet de former un joint plus résistant, en particulier si l'adhésif est renforcé de fibres. L'épaisseur du tissage tridimensionnel compressible permet de plus grandes tolérances vis-à-vis des dimensions au niveau de chaque ligne d'adhérence.
