Abstract: The invention relates to the monitoring of products by means of active radio tags. According to the invention, packagings of products are provided with an active radio tag that detects at least one environmental condition and/or at least one packaging state, and which emits a signal at time intervals, which provides information about a unique identifier and at least one state in which the respective product is found. The signal is picked up by a receiver that extracts the unique identifier and the state information and transmits same together with location information to an external server.

Abstract: A goods carrier for the presentation of product units comprises a goods holder device for holding a plurality of product units, a control unit, a data store, and a position sensor, wherein the position sensor is configured to record measured values relating to a position of the goods carrier, and wherein the control unit is configured to receive the measured values from the position sensor and store them in the data store. A goods carrier may also include an acceleration sensor, a magnetometer, an inventory sensor, or a timer. A method for monitoring a goods carrier may include recording an inventory of product units in the goods carrier, determining a time interval during which there are no product units present in the goods carrier, and displaying the time interval to a person.

Abstract: The invention relates to the determination of features of a person. The invention relates to a device and to a method for determining features of a person in order to be able to better engage with the person in an interaction with the person.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns the synchronization of hierarchical data between a sender and a recipient using hash codes. Hierarchical hash codes are used for synchronization of IT systems. The hierarchy of forwarded objects is condensed in the hierarchical hash codes which are exchanged between the IT systems. The complete hierarchy of the underlying and associated child objects is condensed in each hash code of a parent object: identifiers of the child objects and the relationships of the child objects below the parent object with one another and with the parent object. This applies to each aggregation level, so that the hash code of the at least one top element represents the complete hierarchy.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for selectively informing people. In some embodiments, a system includes at least three devices, each having a display screen and one or more sensors. Each device can use its one or more sensors to recognize a presence of a first person in front of that device and contactlessly determine one or more features of the first person. Example features include a sex, an association with an age group, a skin temperature, a heart rate, or a mood. Further, each device can be configured to selectively display items of information on a respective display screen opposite the first person based on registered features of the first person. In some embodiment, one of the three devices can be further configured to display items of information about the first person on another display screen opposite to a second person.

Abstract: The present invention relates to biomedical foam articles for the wound sector which are formed by spraying a polymeric dispersion onto a wound. The polymeric dispersion being sprayed onto a wound surface forms a three-dimensional body which conforms to the spatial shape of the wound and which, as well as covering the wound surface, ensures a complete and accurately fitted packing of the wound in the depth dimension as well as the other dimensions. The biomedical foam articles of the present invention are particularly useful for treating chronic wounds.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions comprising silicone elastomers and antimicrobially active substances in homogeneous distribution, a process for their production and their use in medical articles.

Abstract: A method for producing storage media containing prerecorded structured information, which contains an order management and tracking system accessible via the Intranet/Internet, the conversion and/or selective extraction of searched structured information from different data sources into a universal data model, wherein the correlation of the information with the corresponding matching order from the order management and tracking system, and the provision of the storage media of any type, containing prerecorded structured information with unified format.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising silicone elastomers and antiseptics in homogeneous distribution, to processes for the preparation thereof and to uses thereof, for example, in medical articles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an associated apparatus for searching and representation of contents of data sources, in particular of contents of relational databases, and to a data storage medium on which the method according to the invention is stored.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a data processing system and method for seamlessly integrating laboratory information management system (LIMS) functionalities into an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The invention enables to keep the additional complexity that is required for the provision of LIMS functionalities at a minimum as all laboratory instrumentation setup information is centrally stored in a server computer but not in the ERP system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device as well as a method for the saving or storage of data on physically different storage devices. By distributing the data to physically different storage devices, the deletion or removal of specific data is simplified. In addition, the specific storage and protection of data, for example depending on its relevance, is thus made possible. In addition, under data security aspects exists the advantageous option to store data sets differently such that that it is impossible at all times that physical data sets are present in a storage device, which may not actually be accessed without authorization, such that data can also be securely transferred in this respect. Furthermore, for the devices and the method according to the invention, no complicated aids are required to ensure the complete, i.e. outright physical deletion of all data.

Abstract: A device and a method with a memory for the storage of data with a means for limiting the access rights to the data for a user. Usernames provided at authentication posse specific user rights, such as super administrator rights or independent inheritance rights. Thus the rights management is simplified to a certain degree, since the administrator is not required to assign rights to additional users. Furthermore, a temporal process of rights control is provided, whereby the administrator is not required to controlling the granting or terminating rights.
