Abstract: A security system for use on a boat with propulsion means, such as an engine, has a base unit mounted on the boat and a personal unit attached to the driver and each passenger. The base unit has a first radio unit and an RFID-reader with an antenna, and is in wireless communication with the personal unit. The personal unit has an RFID-transponder and a second radio unit, both with a unique identity, and a biometric unit that at correct attachment to the person send a biometric signal to the base unit. The communication utilizes RFID technology within a near range, but the system automatically handovers to radio technology when a larger area is to be covered. A field from the RFID reader activates the RFID-transponder, and if the identity is correct the person is registered as the driver and may start the boat. When the base unit loses communication with a personal unit different measures are initiated, such as activating an alarm.

Abstract: The park and drive aid system has at least one distance sensor (14) to detect the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle. The control unit (10) controls at least one driving parameter (15) of the vehicle depending on the detected distance value, where at least one limit value is stored in the control unit and is variable as a function of the respective driving situation. Driving parameters (15) are the sensitivity of the brakes (16), steering (20), accelerator (17) or the engine (18). The control unit (10) intervenes with at least one driving parameter (15) if the limit value is smaller or higher than the limit. To inform the driver about an intervention of the control unit (10) an acoustical, optical or haptical alert occurs. The monitored area around the vehicle changes in correspondence with the direction of the steering (20). The park and drive aid system can be switched off at any time giving the driver precedence over the system, which is helpful e.g. when hitching a trailer. When driving at higher speeds the system switches off automatically or has no effect on at least one driving parameter (15), to ensure that the driver is not irritated by the system when driving in the vicinity of obstacles. The system also takes into account the vehicle weight and the slope of the driving surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to an implant with a biofunctionalized surface and methods for its production. The implant is intended for bone and/or soft tissue contact comprising a base material having at least on a part of its surface structures at the sub mm to the sub µm level, having on its surface a coating comprising a nanocrystalline apatite layer, whereas at least one peptide is partly incorporated by electrochemically assisted co-deposition into at least a part of the nanocrystalline apatite layer.  The adhesion of cells to the surface is notably supported by the morphology of the surface with structures at the mm to the sub µm level, the thin nanocrystalline apatite coating, which does not block the morphology, and incorporation of the peptide into the nanocrystalline apatite layer. By this incorporation into the layer the peptide is stably bound to the surface, by interactions, which are much stronger than adsorption by physical interactions.

Abstract: A follower unit for mounting in a lock device comprises an electrically controlled actuating means and a hub (60) having a hub axis and arranged for reception of at least one handle pin. The hub comprises a first outer hub part (62) rotating about the hub axis and arranged for reception of a first pin connected to a handle, an intermediate hub part (61) rotating about the hub axis and being mechanically coupled to a bolt in the lock device for movement of this bolt between outer and inner end positions and at least one first coupling means (65) which is movable under control of the actuating means between a coupling position, wherein the intermediate hub part rotates with the first outer hub part, and a release position, wherein the first outer hub part rotates independently of the intermediate hub part. Due to the fact that the coupling means is turnable about an axis which runs essentially perpendicularly to the hub axis, in combination with the fact that the actuating means is provided separately from the hub, a compact design is enabled and also allowing modular structure of the lock device.

Abstract: A system and method for using semantic analysis to configure a voice reader is presented. A text file includes a plurality of text blocks, such as paragraphs. Processing performs semantic analysis on each text block in order to match the text block's semantic content with a semantic identifier. Once processing matches a semantic identifier with the text block, processing retrieves voice attributes that correspond to the semantic identifier (i.e. pitch value, loudness value, and pace value) and provides the voice attributes to a voice reader. The voice reader uses the text block to produce a synthesized voice signal with properties that correspond to the voice attributes. The text block may include semantic tags whereby processing performs latent semantic indexing on the semantic tags in order to match semantic identifiers to the semantic tags.
