Abstract: A method and apparatus for recurrently incrementing a running
indication of a datum relating to an amount of usage of an
industrial product 
     A method for storing a running indication of a datum that relates
to an advancing amount of usage of an industrial product
in a semiconductor memory applies the recurrently incrementing
of said running indication upon detecting a particular
amount of such usage, whilst guarding against unwarranted
reprogramming of such semiconductor memory to a lower indication
regarding a value of the datum. 
     In particular, the method uses the following steps:
   providing a flash ROM for such semiconductor memory;
representing each such subsequent value by setting at
least one additional memory bit;   and allowing to read such flash ROM for assessing an actual
amount of the past usage.

Abstract: A skin stimulation system (200) is integrated into a piece of
clothing or any type of wearable accessory (101, 101') which
is connected to a controlling device (109). The system comprises
a variety of sensing means (105a-c, 105') for input
information. Actuators (106a-p) placed on or close to body of
a person wearing this piece of clothing or wearable accessory
(101, 101') are used for generating (S104') visual, auditive,
tactile, gustatoric and/or olfactoric stimuli (e.g. heat,
pressure, vibrational and/or electric pulses, etc.). The invention
further specifies a new method for transmitting tactile
information between different wearable computing devices
(100, 100'). 
     According to one embodiment of the present invention, a number
of different actuator elements (106a-p) which are used
for generating vibro-tactile sensations are integrated into a
piece of jewelry such as e.g. a necklace (304), a bracelet,
rings (900b) with a single or variable number of beads
(900a), gemstones, etc. These actuator elements (106a-p) are
embedded in detachable casings (306a1-a4) which are pivotable
about their suspension axes. Each of said beads, gemstones,
etc. or at least some of them includes at least one integrated
actuator element (106a-p). 
     The invention further pertains to a method for tuning (S901)
key parameters of said stimuli by pivoting said casing
(306a1-a4) about at least one axis so as to bring said actuator
means (106a-p) closer to or farther away from parts of a
user's body wearing said piece of clothing or wearable accessory
(101, 101'). Said key parameters are e.g. the intensity,
duration and/or frequency of said stimuli.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif (10) magnétique d'indexage servant à repérer un dispositif (26) produisant un champ magnétique dans une position non visible ou inaccessible d'une pièce à travailler (36). Un aimant (26) est placé initialement sur un premier côté de ladite pièce (36), de sorte qu'un champ magnétique produit par l'aimant (26) s'étend à travers la pièce (36) et de manière sensiblement perpendiculaire à une surface de celle-ci (36). Un dispositif comprenant une pluralité de sondes (18, 20, 22) pour détecter des champs magnétiques est ensuite positionné sur une deuxième surface de la pièce (36). Les sondes (18, 20, 22) sont ensuite déplacées sur la deuxième surface afin de déterminer l'emplacement de l'axe (26a) de l'aimant (26), au moyen de l'intensité du champ magnétique détecté. Une fois que la position de l'axe (26a) de l'aimant (26) est déterminée, la surface de travail est soit marquée, soit travaillée à travers la plate-forme sur laquelle les sondes (18, 20, 22) sont positionnées.

Abstract: A system and method for covertly managing passive network devices from a local or remote management center. A standard IP-based conversation established over a data network between two or more partner devices occurs in a first communication channel.
