Abstract: A battery module includes at least one first battery cell and at least one second battery cell, a support structure, a first bus bar and a second bus bar. The first battery cell and the second battery cell are received in the support structure in the same orientation. The first bus bar and the second bus bar are disposed on said support structure. The first battery cell and the second battery cell each have a first terminal and a second terminal. Furthermore, batteries that can be manufactured from one type of disclosed battery module are also disclosed. The batteries can be manufactured, for example, by serial interconnection using the coupling sections and parallel interconnection using the parallel circuit elements.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for behaviour-based authentication (400) of a current user (1) to a mobile, portable communication system (100), which has at least one sensor (110) for capturing gross-motor measurement data (500), a gross-motor classification module (200), a processor (130), and an internal memory (120). Furthermore, a user is registered in the mobile, portable communication system (100). The sensor (110) is designed to recognise the gross-motor measurement data (500) of a gross-motor movement of the current user (1) of the mobile, portable communication system (100) and the gross-motor classification module (200) is trained to capture a generic gross-motor movement pattern with the help of training data sets of a user cohort. In addition, the gross-motor classification module (200) implements a machine-learning method. The gross-motor classification module (200) is executed by the processor (130) of the mobile, portable communication system (100).

The method comprises: encrypting the file (101) on the user computer system (104, 162, 168) by the web application, providing a distribution plan by the web application, fragmenting the encrypted file (101) on the user computer system (104, 162, 168) by the web application into a plurality of file fragments (F1-F4) according to the distribution plan, sending the resulting file fragments (F1-F4) by the web application over the network (178) to the storage services identified by the distribution plan (SD1-SD6).

Abstract: A file management server may include a processor, a network interface for operatively coupling the file management server to a user computer system and to memory services via a network. The file management server includes a file management application configured to receive an authorisation enquiry of the user computer system to store file fragments of a file via the network in a plurality of the memory services; and in response to the receipt of the authorisation enquiry, request an authorisation token from each of the memory services and forward, to the user computer system, authorisation tokens formed as URLs and obtained in response to the request. Each URL enables direct write or direct read access to a storage space of one of the memory services identified by the URL. Metadata that allows reconstruction of the file from the stored file fragments is protected against access by the memory services.

Abstract: The method for the behavior-based authentication of the current user to a mobile, portable communication system includes repeated performance of capturing the gross-motor measurement data, inputting the gross-motor measurement data into the gross-motor classification module, generating a first classification result, and storing the first classification result. The method further includes accessing of the memory of the system in order to read out at least one of the stored first classification results from the memory, reading out of the at least one first classification result and evaluating same in accordance with a specified checking criterion, and generating an authentication signal if the checking criterion is met.

Abstract: The invention refers to an electric shaver with a first cutter element and a second cutter element which are movable relative to each other in an oscillating manner along a first horizontal cutter oscillation axis. Each cutter unit is mounted in the cartridge pivotably about a second horizontal tilting axis and axially displaceably parallel to a vertical axis. The first horizontal cutter oscillation axis is perpendicular to the vertical axis and perpendicular to the second horizontal tilting axis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electric shaver comprising a shaver housing, a shaver head including at least one cutter element drivable by a drive unit in an oscillating manner along a cutter oscillation axis and a non-cutting auxiliary function element for applying an auxiliary skin treatment other than hair cutting to a skin portion to be shaved, said auxiliary function element having an applicator head positioned aside the cutter element. The shaver head and/or the at least one cutter element is supported pivotably relative to the auxiliary function element at least about a pivot axis parallel to the cutter oscillation axis.

Abstract: The invention refers to an electric shaver comprising a shaver housing, a shaver head and at least one cartridge mounted in or on said shaver housing. The adaption of the cutter element to the contour of the skin to be shaved is improved by permitting at least one additional movement of the at least one cutter unit relative to the shaver head.

Abstract: A novel retarding mechanism is shown to reduce the inertia of the battery shell during a linear detachment movement from a handle of an appliance, such as a battery powered razor or shaver. The retarding mechanism is based on the interaction between the battery shell found on a lower portion of a razor handle and a battery carrier found within the upper portion of a razor handle. Specifically, an engagement spring having at least one knob type structure is mounted on an interior surface of the battery shell and axially engages protrusions and/or recesses on an exterior surface of the battery carrier during a detachment movement of the battery shell. During opening or detachment of the shell, the engagement of the knob with protrusions produces a retarding force effect of the shell during the linear detachment.
