Abstract: A first database is synchronized with a second database, wherein the first database is located in a mobile terminal. To avoid erroneous synchronization results that can occur if a timer associated with the mobile terminal is changed, relative to a timer associated with the second database, an indicator is set to indicate that a full synchronization should be performed whenever it is detected that the timer in the mobile terminal has been set back. Then, when synchronization is to take place, full synchronization of the first database with the second database is performed if the indicator is set. Otherwise, a fast synchronization that uses a change log may be performed. The indicator may be in the form of a change in a database identifier.

Abstract: A variable-view arthroscope or similar instrument (endoscope, etc.) includes a housing tube with an object input end. The housing tube contains an object input assembly and a portion of a light relay assembly. The object input assembly includes an input lens and a first mirror. In some embodiments, the object input assembly includes a second mirror, and in alternative embodiments, the object input assembly includes a prism. The object input assembly passes images received from a viewing area to an object relay assembly that transmits the image object to the control end of the arthroscope. In some embodiments, the light relay assembly is formed of two mirrored rods. A control varies the position of the object input assembly to change the a viewing position of the arthroscope. In some embodiments, the control includes a push rod driven by a slide and cam/axle assembly.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel cell stack with a plurality of plate shaped fuel cells. Each fuel cell provides an electrolyte layer, an adjacent electrode and cathode. The fuel cells are connected mechanically and electrically by bipolar plates. Tightness is ensured in an improved manner. The fuel cells provide a cathode, an anode and an electrolyte layer arranged between the cathode and anode. Each cathode is adjacent to a cathode chamber and each anode is adjacent to an anode chamber. The bipolar plates comprise first openings which are used to provide channels to allow operating material to be transported to the fuel cells or to enable the removal of depleted operating material. The bipolar plates have additional openings, in which the fuel cells are arranged. When the fuel cell is disposed in the opening, it is only substantially and openly accessible from one side. This openly accessible side or surface is essentially formed by a fuel cell electrode. Sealing material is arranged layer-by-layer above the other opening. At least one portion of the edge of the fuel cell disposed in the opening is covered by the sealing material.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'impression utilisant une tête d'impression pour imprimer une encre contenant entre environ 0,01 et environ 15 % en poids d'un agent mouillant sur une surface de transfert intermédiaire, et former une image sur cette surface. Ce procédé transfère l'image de la surface de transfert d'image à un support final alors que l'encre est partiellement humide. L'agent mouillant peut être un 1, 2 alkyldiol comportant entre 4 et 10 atomes de carbone ou un alcool diéther comportant entre 6 et 14 atomes de carbone. 1, 2 hexanediol et hexylcarbitol sont particulièrement appropriés comme agents mouillants. Si 1, 2 hexanedio est utilisé comme agent mouillant, l'encre peut contenir environ 1,0 à environ 5,0 % en poids d'hexanediol. Si l'hexylcarbitol est utilisé comme agent mouillant, l'encre peut contenir environ 0,1 et environ 2,5 % en poids d'hexylcarbitol. La surface de transfert intermédiaire peut être recouverte d'une solution de vernissage. Dans ce cas, l'encre doit présenter une énergie de surface différente de celle de la solution de vernissage d'environ 10 dynes/cm maximum. La solution de vernissage peut contenir un polyvidone, et dans ce cas, entre environ 0,01 et environ 20 % en poids de PVP est approprié. Le PVP doit présenter un poids moléculaire supérieur à environ 400,000.

Abstract: A polymeric composition includes a first polymeric material, for example, an adhesive material, and a second polymeric material disposed as a plurality of elongated structures within the first polymeric material. Each elongated structure has a major axis and the major axes are substantially aligned. The first polymeric material has an index of refraction that differs by at least 0.01 from an index of refraction of the second polymeric material. In some instances, a pressure sensitive adhesive material is selected as the first polymeric material. The orientation of the elongated structures and the difference in indices of refraction results in the polymeric composition scattering light asymmetrically. The polymeric composition is optionally disposed on a substrate and can be used, for example, to extract light from a light guide or to asymmetrically alter the viewing angle of a display.

Abstract: Application-layer signaling of a packet data network, such as the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), is used to communicate with an interworking interface between the packet data network and a circuit-switched network, particularly a public land mobile network (PLMN), wherein the interface converts the application-layer signaling of the packet data network to a control protocol utilized in the PLMN, wherein a private user identification is carried, for example, by means of a Session Description Protocol (SDP) within the application-layer signaling between the packet data network terminal and the interface, and wherein standardization of lower layers of the packet data network protocol stack is not required beyond that which is already defined. The interface between the packet data network and the circuit-switched network provides the private user identification to the circuit-switched network in the manner in which the circuit-switched network is accustomed.

Abstract: A multi-functional protable electro-medical device (10) provides interferential current stimulation to promote bone growth. Two electrical signals are applied to a target area, each electrical signal being formed by a set of two electrode pads. A beat frequency is created at the location the signals interest with each other. The beat frequency is the difference between the frequencies of the two signals and has an amplitude that is additive and greater than either signal alone. The depth of the interferential signal is increased by increasing the carrier frequency of the signals. The direction of the interferential signal shifts toward the signal having the lower amplitude. The electrical stimulation is used on a combination with biologics to further increase bone growth. The target area is large enough to include multiple vertebral segments.
