Abstract: The device consists of a detector for the modulation and recognition of position-dependent modulated light (L) to indicate length or angle. It comprises a transparent glass bearer-plate (6) on which a touch-section (3) and, on the opposite side, several photodiodes (7.1-7.4) are fixed. On their light-receiving side the photodiodes have terminals for making direct electrical contact with guideways (8). The detector can be moved in the direction of the scale (5). Signals identify accurately the position of the production tool relative to the item being worked.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for communication systems used in traffic engineering and having an earthbound transponder for each corresponding track section. The transponders transmit first data through a first path of transmission to polling machines arranged on vehicles. Based on these first data, the concerned polling machine ascertains whether second data transmitted through a second path of transmission to the polling machine are really destined for the vehicles. The signal in the second path of transmission destined for the vehicles of a section of the track is individually modulated or transmitted by a time- or frequency-multiplexing process. Depending on the selected modulation or multiplexing, coefficients are built at the emitter side which are then transmitted through the first path of transmission, extracted at the receiver side and used to demodulate or demultiplex the signal transmitted through the second path of transmission. The physical separation of the transmitted signals makes it possible to ascertain whether the signals received through the second path of transmission are destined for this section of the track or the vehicles that circulate thereon.

Abstract: A method for selecting an electronic module from a plurality of at least two modules (M1, M2, M3) capable of emitting messages simultaneously, includes the steps of sending a general query message (ACTIVALL) to the modules, and selecting (AFI, SELECT-ID) the module having responded first, the modules, on receiving a query message (ACTIVALL, ACTIV), determining a random time interval (P) and sending a responding message (ID, R) when the said time interval (P) has elapsed. A module is set in idle position (IDL) when it receives a message (MESS) before the time interval (P) preceding the sending of a response (ID, R) has elapsed. The idle position (IDL) is at least characterized by the fact that one module does not respond, subsequently, to a complementary query message (ACTIV). This invention is particularly useful for contactless smart card readers and for terminals for electronic labels.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for purifying a hydrophobic or amphiphilic compound, by first mixing a starting material containing the hydrophobic or amphiphilic compound with a first polymeric material, water and at least one of a second polymeric material and a surfactant, wherein the first polymeric material and the second polymeric material and/or surfactant are immiscible in the resulting primary aqueous solution. The process further comprises maintaining the primary aqueous solution for a period of time sufficient for essentially separating the phases formed, and then removing the phase containing the main portion of the hydrophobic or amphiphilic compound and the second polymeric material and/or surfactant. The second polymeric material and/or surfactant are separated from the hydrophobic or amphiphilic compound, and subsequently recycled to the initial mixing step. The present invention further relates to a composition for use in purification of apolipoprotein A (ApoA) or apolipoprotein E (ApoE), said composition comprising a first polymeric material and a surfactant, said first polymeric material and surfactant being immiscible in the primary aqueous solution obtained after mixing with water. ApoA or ApoE produced by the inventive process can be used for the manufacture of a medicament in the treatment of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases, sepsis or peripheral atherosclerosis as well as in a method for treatment of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases, sepsis or peripheral atherosclerosis when administered in a therapeutically effective amount.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor system for measuring pressure profiles. Such systems can be used wherever pressure distributions in one or two dimensions are to be measured. An important field of application is medicine. Here pressure profile measurements, e.g. in urology, proctology, cardiology and other disciplines can be carried out with the aid of catheters. The measuring catheter is formed as a tubular flexible hollow body (1) of length L. An outer pressure load p(x) is represented on tube (1) as a cross-sectional function A(x). The local cross-section A(x) is scanned by the tube being filled from one side at (x=0) continuously with a liquid substance (I) which displaces substance (II) to the filling length XA. The filling length xA can be measured according to differing methods: measurement of the electrical resistance, measurement of the electrical capacity, measurement of acoustic resonance.
