Abstract: A process is given for permitting the application to a substrate (2) of a microsystem or transducer (1) having a first partial surface (13), whose interaction with the environment is to be possible, and a second partial surface (14), which is to be protected against external influences. The substrate (2) is prepared, a passage point (20) being produced in said substrate (2). The microsystem (1) and substrate (2) are so mutually positioned that the first partial surface (13) faces the substrate (2) and that the passage point (20) in the substrate (2) and the first partial surface (13) come to rest opposite one another. Contacts (50, 51.1, 51.2) are produced by flip-chip technology. A sealing contact (51.1, 51.2) seals the second partial surface (14) against external influences. A gap (3) between the microsystem (1) and substrate (2) is filled with a filling material (30). A selective cover (24) over the passage point (20) keeps undesired external influences away from the first partial surface (13). The microsystem (1) can e.g. contain a sensor, the first partial surface (13) containing the sensitive surface and the second partial surface (14) electronic functional units.

Abstract: An apparatus for identifying a client accessing a first network site utilizes a control site to maintain information relating to the client. To that end, in response to receipt of a request from the client to access the first network site, it is determined if the client includes a first site data block. If it is determined that the client does not include the first site data block, then the control site is controlled to produce a control site data block having both control site identification data and a client identifier. The control site data block then is transmitted from the control site to the client In a similar manner, the client identifier is transmitted from the control site to the first network site. Upon receipt of the client identifier by the first network site, the first network site is controlled to transmit the first site data block to the client. The first site data block may have both the client identifier and first site identification data.
