Abstract: A salt-composition for stabilising the carbonate balance in the aquaristic area is suggested, in which the salts stabilise with major components with at least 10 weightpercent via formates the carbonate balance. The salts contain no fatties, proteins or sugars and stabilise the carbonate balance individually, being essentially disconnected from biochemical metabolism-cycles. The alkaline, ready to use solution of the salt composition supports advantageously skeleton- and reef-building sea-water-systems in their biomineralisation. Use of the salt-composition to acidicly activate carbonate-containing aquaristic ornamental stones provides special substrates, on which biomineralising systems of sea-water aquariums settle and grow quicker and better.

Abstract: A security seal identification that may be matched with an identification of a utility measuring meter. This matching may be done, for instance, by a code which is imprinted on the seal and then matched to a meter number in a database, or by a code such as an encryption of the number assigned to the meter. An encryption may be read by an app on a smartphone or checked offline to determine whether the seal belongs to the meter or if it was altered or changed. A mismatch of numbers or symbols may generally indicate a change or manipulation and warrant an investigation.
