Abstract: In order to render a chip card gratuity counter (6) more flexible, the invention consists in recording in the chip card memory (5) a file architecture to facilitate the management of its counters. Said architecture is characterised in that a counter unit file (7), wherein are located the counters relative to an application, is associated with rules (12) which are applicable thereto. Thus, the simple designation of a counter unit implies the implementation or rules applicable to the counters of this counter unit. This implementation is internal to the chip card and does not require any exchange with the reader. The chip card memory further comprises the rules file (12), the conditions file (13) and the computing file (14) the interaction of which provides greater flexibility of use.

Abstract: Il est aujourd'hui courant de recycler des matières plutôt que de les jeter simplement, même si l'on doit effectuer invariablement un important travail de tri pour séparer les articles en fonction des types de matières. La plupart des opérations de tri étant effectuées à la main, il serait préférable de disposer en quelque sorte d'un système d'identification et de séparation axé sur les machines. Or des difficultés surviennent lorsqu'il s'agit de trier des matières telles que le plastique. La présente invention concerne l'utilisation d'inscriptions codées lisibles par machine, marquées sur les articles pour identifier non seulement la nature des articles, mais également leur couleur et l'usage auquel ils étaient précédemment destiné (leur contenu). On décrit un procédé de marquage codé pouvant être incorporé dans l'article (15) sous la forme d'une suite de zones (33) (ou arrangement similaire) ayant des propriétés de réflexion ou de diffusion de la lumière avec grand effet de contraste, lesdites propriétés étant partie intégrante de la surface de l'article. Ce marquage peut se présenter sous la forme d'un code AZTEC modifié dans lequel chacun des éléments de codage (les blocs (33) qui, avec les espace 'vides' qui les séparent, délimitent les données codées) jouxte côte-à-côte soit l'anneau le plus à l'extérieur (31) de la cible (31, 32) soit un bloc (33) ainsi contigu.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for personalization of GSM chips. At least one subscriber identification character (TMSI) and a card number (ICCID) are stored in the memory area of said chips in addition to a secret key (KI) and other optional data for personalization purposes. The invention aims to eliminate an unnecessarily high degree of complexity linked to management of all card data in an authentication centre (AC) and to preserve secret chip data in a more secure manner. According to the invention, final data is only written on the chip when the subscriber logs into a subscriber network. One advantage is that only initial data is written into the card enabling the customer to contact the computer centre of the information provider. During first contact the final data is traded between the card and the computer centre and written into the card. The computer centre is simply required to manage cards which have really been issued to customers.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a vertebral bone prosthetic device comprising an interior body, provided with an outer surface and a first coupling element thereon, and an exterior hollow body with a bore therein extending along a central axis, with the interior body being configured and dimensioned to be slidably received by the exterior body along the central axis, and provided with an interior surface and an exterior surface, the interior surface having a groove. The device also comprises a fixation ring having inner and outer surfaces, with the inner surface having a second coupling element thereon. The fixation ring is configured and dimensioned to be received within the groove of the exterior body for rotational movement about the central axis of the exterior body. Rotation of the fixation ring results in engagement of the first and second coupling elements to thereby prevent relative sliding movement between the interior and exterior bodies. Also, the fixation ring is rotatable between first second positions, the first position disengaging the coupling elements and allowing relative sliding movement and the second position engaging the coupling elements and blocking relative sliding movement.

Abstract: The biomass (3) in e.g. a bale, heaps, pressed sheet bale (4), silo or off-roll container is contained in an air tight envelope (5), and dosed (7, 8) once only with inoculant. Fermentation proceeds anaerobically with no further addition. An Independent claim is included for the equipment used. Preferred features: Before methanization, aerobic heating takes place. Inoculant is made and added, to suit the particular biomass. It may be liquid from a biogas plant or e.g. cattle slurry. Inoculant is made from structured wastes, grass cuttings and/or coppice wood and/or straw and/or waste solids and slurry. Structured waste is mixed with liquid to a dry mass content of 20-40%, preferably 30%, at a pH value of 7-9, preferably 8. The ratio of dry masses of inoculant to biomass exceeds 0.6. Various industrial wastes are added. Composting takes place at about 50 degrees C for 2-5 days without turning. Septic liquid is recycled as inoculant. Inoculant is mixed in before filling the vessel. Storage conditions (aerobic at 20 degrees C) exclude spontaneous methanization. Fluid inoculant is used with biomass having high fluid absorption. It may be introduced between biomass layers during or before pressing bales by e.g. spraying. It is embedded locally in the biomass. Liquid inoculant is introduced into the heating biomass, displacing air. Digestion continues at no more than 35 degrees C. The inoculant is preheated. The methanizer has external thermal insulation. Conventional and/or solar heating is applied. Percolate is recirculated from above, controlling the dry matter content and adding nutrients. Some is stored. Biomass layering or other structured introduction optimizes methanization.
