Abstract: The present invention provides a placebo needle to be used for double blind test in which both the practitioner and the subject can be blinded. The placebo needle comprises the guide tube 13; the first stuffing 14 which is plugged into the guide tube 13 to be fixed there, to give resistance to the needle body 11 during its passage therethrough; the second stuffing 17 which is plugged into the guide tube 13 to be fixed at a lower position, to give resistance to the needle body 11 during its passage through the cavity of the guide tube 13 to reach a specified depth; the needle body 11 which is movably held by the first stuffing 14, and which has length sufficiently long to allow its point to stop just on/above the skin surface when the needle body 11 is advanced through the cavity of the guide tube 13 as far as possible; and a stopper which is mounted to the lower end of the needle handle 12 attached to the top end of the needle body 11, or to the top end of the guide tube 13, and which prevents the needle handle 12 from advancing further into the cavity of the guide tube 13 when the needle body 11 being advanced through the cavity of the guide tube 13 reaches a point just on/above the skin surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a quantitative magneto-optical imaging method and device which are used to form an image of a target material (2). According to the invention, an active material (15) is used in order to produce a Faraday rotation in a polarised light beam. Said material is placed close to the target material (2) that is to be imaged. The Faraday rotation of the active material (15) is essentially proportional to the magnetisation when it is subjected to an excitation magnetic field. Moreover, photo-detector means (7) detect the beam reflected after passing through the active material. The light from the reflected beam can then be analysed in order to deduce the amplitude and the phase of a disturbance magnetic field created by a defect in the target material (2) subjected to the excitation magnetic field.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for writing data into identification media of various types (IM-X, IM-Y) via assigned write/read stations WR. According to said method, a virtual, identification media-independent reference file system RFS is defined. All access keys RKi are replaced by a file system key FSK and all access rights ACi of subsections Bi are suspended and a file system FS, corresponding to the reference file system RFS, is initialized or written into the identification media: (FS(IM-X), FS(IM-Y)). In doing so, a file system starting point (FS-S(IM-X), FS-S(IM-Y)) is defined in the identification media (IM(FS) and in the assigned read/write stations WR(RFS) so that applications (App(RFS) corresponding to the virtual reference file system RFS can be written into the identification media and executed. The inventive method allows for the writing into or execution of generally defined applications (App(RFS) into initialized identification media of various types (IM-X(FS), IM-Y(FS)) without adapting them.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a system and a method for integrated on-demand delivery of operating system and applications, where operating system images are separate and distinct from application images. Integration of operating system streaming and. application streaming services makes streaming delivery possible to a wide range of client devices, including those without any local disk space such as thin-clients and diskless workstations. In addition, by integrating the centralized management of operating system delivery and application delivery, the present invention provides a complete solution to server-centric application management, thereby further reducing the total cost of ownership of network-based computing approach. Implementing the operating management functions at the client machine level of specificity and application management functions at the user level of specificity combined with providing separate and distinct operating system images and application images provides an inherently canonical architecture that allows proper scaling and affords appropriate security management functions. The result is a complete, scalable, robust, and reliable server-centric application and operating system management system with a lower total cost of ownership than existing products.

Abstract: The present invention maintains calls during transfers between different types of subsystems, even when there is a bearer path interruption at the user element due to the original connection from the transferring-out subsystem being dropped before the new connection in the transferring-in subsystem is established. The call signaling leg toward the remote endpoint of the remote party is held, while the call signaling leg toward the user element is moved from the transferring-out subsystem to the transferring-in subsystem and a new bearer path is established via the transferring-in subsystem. During transfers with a bearer path interruption, a portion of the bearer path leading to the remote endpoint may be connected to a media resource function, which will provide an announcement to the remote party. Once the user element is accessible in the transferring-in subsystem, the bearer path is further transferred to the user element via the transferring-in subsystem.

Abstract: An automated (robotic) floor cleaner (100) is adapted to allow sterile cleaning of sensitive environments, such as hospital room. In particular, the floor-cleaner chassis (124) is redesigned to be mounted on a deck (102) containing cleaning devices that contact the floor. The cleaning devices mounted on the deck (102) include vacuum head (132), brushes (120), cleaning fluid sprays (128), and conceivably sanitizing devices such as UV germicidal light, are provided pre-sterilized. As such, the adapted floor-cleaner chassis (124) allows the deck (102) to be mounted to the bottom of the chassis (124), the floor-cleaner (100) is then used to clean a floor, after which, the deck (102) is removed from the chassis (124) and disposed. The robotic-floor cleaner (100) and sterilization system cleans floor between or even during cases. Further, the robotic floor cleaner (100) reduces the "turnover time"  required between cases, as it operates simultaneously while the staff prepares the room for the next case.
