Abstract: The invention concerns a toll system for central deduction of fee payment for vehicles using a road network with highway toll. Said system comprises a mobile telephone network (for example GSM), devices installed in respective vehicles for communication in said mobile telephone network, devices installed in the respective vehicles for determining the geographical position (for example GPS) of each vehicle, or locating devices installed in the mobile telephone network, for determining data defining said geographical position, and a computing centre for deducting the fee payment due. Said computing centre comprises devices for communicating with the devices installed in the vehicles, via the mobile telephone network. The system further comprises a digital road map corresponding to the road network with toll system, and tariff data for use of said road network with toll system. The computing centre also defines, on the basis of the position data transmitted by the devices installed in the respective vehicles, via the mobile telephone network, and on the basis of data obtained by the locating devices installed in the network, the exact position of each vehicle or the result of the location produced in the device installed in a vehicle of by the locating devices installed in the network is transmitted to the computing centre. The computing centre then assigns precisely the determined position of the vehicle concerned to a road section (for example a section within two motorway entrances/exits of the road network with toll system), or to a road without toll system and consequently deducts the fee payment corresponding to the actual use of roads with toll systems by the vehicle concerned.

Abstract: The device is provided with a laser (1) for exciting the fluorescent imaging agent which emits radiation at a wavelength that causes any of the agent located within the vasculature or tissue of interest (3) irradiated thereby to emit radiation of a particular wavelength. Advantageously, a camera capable of obtaining multiple images over a period of time, such as a CCD camera (2) may be used to capture the emissions from the imaging agent. A band-pass filter (6) prevents the capture of radiation other than that emitted by the imaging agent. A distance sensor (9) incorporates a visual display (9a) providing feedback to the physician saying that the laser be located at a distance from the vessel of interest that is optimal for the capture of high quality images.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method for the biological production of 1,3-propanediol from a fermentable carbon source in a single microorganism. In one aspect of the present invention, an improved process for the conversion of glucose to 1,3-propanediol is achieved by the use of an E. coli transformed with the Klebsiella pneumoniae dha regulon genes dhaR, orfY, dhaT, orfX, orfW, dhaB1, dhaB2, dhaB3, and orfZ, all these genes arranged in the same genetic organization as found in wild type Klebsiella pneumoniae. In another aspect of the present invention, an improved process for the production of 1,3-propanediol from glucose using a recombinant E. coli containing genes encoding a G3PDH, a G3P phosphatase, a dehydratase, and a dehydratase reactivation factor compared to an identical process using a recombinant E. coli containing genes encoding a G3PDH, a G3P phosphatase, a dehydratase, a dehydratase reactivation factor and a 1,3-propanediol oxidoreductase (dhaT). The dramatically improved process relies on the presence in E. coli of a gene encoding a non-specific catalytic activity sufficient to convert 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde to 1,3-propanediol.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the determination of stand attributes with an instrument above the stand. In the method, three-dimensional information is collected from the stands by using such a number of sample hits, that individual trees or groups of trees can be distinguished. A three-dimensional tree height model is produced from collected information. Stand attributes-which are characteristics of individual trees or groups of trees and/or characteristics derived using these information for larger areas-are determined from the tree height model. The invention also relates to a computer program which can be used to carry out the second and third step of the method.

Abstract: A mobile packet network call is established over a transmission link, extending between a mobile terminal device and a given interworking function. The transmission link connects the mobile terminal device to a wireless communication device over a first interface and further connects the wireless communication device to the given interworking function over a second interface via a wireless link to a base station. The transmission link further comprises a packet mode in which the traffic channel is up and a dormant mode in which the traffic channel is down while the data link layer link and the network layer link are maintained. Network region identifier information is provided to the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device determines when the given interworking function has changed from a first interworking function to a second interworking function by determining when there is a corresponding change in the network region identifier information. The wireless communication device initiates a link control protocol renegotiation with the mobile terminal device when the corresponding change in the network region identifier information has been determined. The mobile terminal device responds to the initiation of the link control protocol, and causes the transmission link to enter the packet mode, and to bring up the traffic channel. The data link layer link is then established with the second interworking function. The mobile terminal device and the second interworking function then negotiate network control protocol options and establish a network layer link. If the second interworking function corresponds to a new foreign agent, the mobile terminal device will then update its IP mobility registration.

Abstract: A stent having marker tabs formed from a micro-alloyed combination of materials provides for more precise placement and post-procedural visualization in a vessel, by increasing the radiopacity of the stent under X-ray fluoroscopy. A unique micro-alloying process is utilized to form the tabs, comprising a first alloy and a second alloy, wherein one of these alloys is radiopaque. This substantially eliminates the possibility of galvanic action between the tab and the stent. This process is also applicable to other medical devices.

Abstract: Preparation of a water-alcohol mixture (A), of given final alcohol content, by mixing alcohol and water (or a mixture of one composition with water or a mixture of a different composition) at a particular temperature, in which the final (or initial) mixture has a precisely known volume. The process includes, by taking into account the complete and partial contractions of the volumes of mixtures, establishment of a table consisting of many pairs of values, over the entire 0-100% composition range, relating alcohol content (in volume %) to density at a constant temperature. Alternatively, it involves calculation (with a mathematical formula that describes the content of alcohol as a function of density), for a given alcohol content, either the corresponding density (or vice versa) or other parameters that have a mathematical relation with the above values, e.g. weight %, volume contraction of mixture volume. These values are used to determine the mass (or volume) of starting liquid required for preparation of (A) of a particular content, optionally with predetermined volume. An Independent claim is also included for a device for performing this process.
