Abstract: The invention relates to a security module for a host device of an account management system, to a host device for exchanging electronic goods, services, data and/or funds between host devices of an account management system as well as to an account management system itself. To protect financial data and customer accounts at the highest level possible at application layer the account management system according to the invention makes much less use of organisational and administrative security measures, yet builds technical and cryptographic security measures right into the database and network systems that handle the account data. The core component of the account management system is a hardware security module comprising:   an interface for communicating and exchanging data with the host device, a management module for processing data and requests, and a directory module for storing check codes for customer accounts stored in the host device, wherein a check code is generated using account data of a customer account and wherein said check code is used for verification of the corresponding customer account in case of a request to process account data of said customer account. Thus strong integrity and confidentiality of all customer accounts is guaranteed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A circulator comprises a housing (10) in two halves (12, 11) with a ferrite (18) and associated magnet (16) in a central portion of a first one of the halves (12), the second housing-half (11) above the ferrite having a membrane (32) which is deformable by operation of an adjusting means (33) upon the membrane, so as to adjust the size of an airgap (26) between the membrane and the ferrite. The membrane is preferably the residual portion of the second housing-half following a milling operation to provide a recess (31), the recess accommodating the adjusting means in the form of, e.g., a screw. To further enhance predictability of the performance characteristics of the circulator, the ferrite is seated in a hollow (36) formed in the first housing-half and the securing of the ferrite to the first housing-half is by way of an adhesive applied between a lateral face (37) of the ferrite and a corresponding lateral face of the hollow. <IMAGE>

Abstract: La sortie lumineuse combinée (chromaticité) d'un luminaire à diodes électroluminescentes émettant une lumière blanche est régulée électroniquement en fonction de mesures effectuées par une unique photodiode disposée de manière à mesurer les sorties lumineuses d'au moins plusieurs diodes électroluminescentes de l'ensemble desdites diodes électroluminescentes. Ceci est effectué par mesure de la sortie lumineuse des diodes électroluminescentes dans chaque couleur séparément au cours d'une séquence d'impulsions. Pour chaque ensemble de diodes électroluminescentes rouges, vertes et bleues, il y a trois impulsions dans une séquence de mesure. Au cours de chaque impulsion, le courant destiné à la couleur devant être mesurée est bloqué. Le temps de réponse d'une photodiode classique est extrêmement cours de sorte que la séquence de mesure peut être effectuée au cours d'un laps de temps suffisamment court pour qu'un observateur ne puisse pas le détecter (par exemple 10ms). Les sorties lumineuses mesurées et associées aux couleurs sont comparées à des sorties souhaitées, qui peuvent être définies par des commandes de l'utilisateur, et les modifications d'alimentation des blocs de couleur sont effectuées selon les besoins. Il est ainsi possible de réguler automatiquement la chromaticité sans tenir compte des facteurs qui peuvent la modifier. Les entrées de l'utilisateur permettent de faire varier la chromaticité souhaitée de manière à obtenir, par exemple, un blanc chaud (plus de sortie rouge) ou un blanc cru (plus de sortie bleue).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for adjusting the whiteness degree of a bulk material consisting of comminuted paper fractions, especially deinking material, the bulk material containing fractions that mainly stem from newsprint paper, magazine paper and interfering substances. The aim of the invention is to improve the whiteness degree of such bulk materials. To this end, the bulk material is divided up into a light fraction and a heavy fraction by means of an air separator, the dust particles contained in the bulk material being at least partially removed as the light fraction. The invention further relates to an air separator with a housing (2) that is provided with a bulk material inlet (4), and a main separator stage (10) adapted to separate in a transverse direction. Said main separator stage has a guide surface (12) that supplies the bulk material to a chute edge (14) and an air entry duct (16). An auxiliary separator stage (22) is adapted to carry out a countercurrent separation. The cross-sectional area of the auxiliary separator stage (22) is larger by a factor of 1.1 to 1.8 than the cross-sectional area of the main separator stage (10).

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à une technique servant à exprimer un corps élastique par infographie. On obtient cette expression en transformant les coordonnées de points spécifiques de la forme, qui spécifient la forme d'un objet, en utilisant une matrice de transformation. Chaque élément de la matrice de transformation est exprimé par une fonction ayant une variable temps qui converge vers un élément correspondant d'une matrice représentant le mouvement de l'objet, lorsque cet objet est présumé être un corps rigide. En remplaçant un temps prédéterminé dans cette fonction, on détermine la valeur de chaque élément de la matrice de transformation. La forme de l'objet est déterminée sur la base des valeurs des coordonnées des points spécifiques de la forme, après transformation des coordonnées.

Abstract: The polyisocyanate ester compound is a branched material having at least two ester linkages, at least four urethane linkages further from the center of the compound compared to the ester linkages, and at least one terminal isocyanate group for each urethane linkage, which isocyanate group may be blocked. The compound can be prepared by first by reacting a polyol compound having at least two hydroxyl groups with a carboxylic acid compound having one carboxylic acid group and at least two hydroxyl groups to form a hydroxyl-functional ester product. The hydroxyl-functional ester product is then reacted with a polyisocyanate compound in which the isocyanate groups have different reactivities. The reaction with the polyisocyanate compound is carried out under conditions so that only one of the isocyanate groups is substantially reactive with the hydroxyl groups of the ester product of the first stage.

Abstract: A device network to process signals has target devices, selecting devices that are movable relative to the target devices, and controllers. The controllers are in communication with the target devices and the selecting devices. Each of the selecting devices has a position sensor and an orientation sensor to provide spatial and angular co-ordinates of position and orientation when pointing to a target device and upon receiving a user input. Each of the selecting devices also has a signal processor to generate a control signal having the position and orientation data. This control signal is then transmitted by a transmitter, via a radio frequency channel, to a controller. Upon receiving the control signal, the controller determines whether, for example, a target device has been selected by a selecting device by comparison of the orientation data with a derived orientation based on the position data and the known position of the target devices.

Abstract: A method of modulating an immune response in a subject is disclosed. The invention is based on the discovery that an effective therapeutic strategy for ameliorating the inflammation-related symptoms of an immune-mediated disease, such as arthritis, can be achieved by modulation of the underlying immune response itself, rather than by merely addressing the resulting inflammation. This strategy can be used to regulate the inflammatory response and is applicable to a variety of contexts in which immune modulation is desired, such as mucosal tolerization, DNA vaccination, anergy induction, active immunization, and ex vivo modulation of antigen-specific T cells. In one embodiment, the method comprises administering to the subject a bacterial dnaJ peptide or a human homolog or a non-homologous human isoform thereof.
