  • DETERMINATION OF A LIPID WATER RATIO
    Publication number: 20130026367
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus, a method and a computer program for determining a lipid-water ratio and a scattering parameter of a sample. In particular, the invention relates to an apparatus comprising a light source and a detector arranged to measure an optical parameter at various wavelengths, where the wavelengths are selected so that at two of the wavelengths the absorption coefficients for both water and lipids are substantially identical. This enables determination of a scattering parameter. A further measurement at a third wavelength enables determination of a water-lipid ratio. According to a specific embodiment, the light source and the detector are arranged in relation to an interventional device, so as to be able to examine a tissue in terms of lipid-water ratio and scattering during an intervention.

  • Record carrier for storing a digital work
    Patent number: 8364981
    Abstract: A record carrier for storing a digital work (DW) includes access information (KLT) for gaining access to the digital work and a secondary channel (HC) in which secondary channel information (KLK) is stored which is used for encrypting, decrypting or verifying the access information (KLT). In order to prevent, hinder or discourage tampering with the access information (KLT), the secondary channel (HC) is stored on the record carrier on substantially the same physical location as the access information (KLT). In a preferred embodiment, the secondary channel information (KLK) is changed when the access information (KLT) has changed. This realizes a record carrier for which a replay-attack is prevented.

  • Plastic spout
    Patent number: 8360275
    Abstract: A plastic spout which is adapted to be sealed between two foil walls of a pouch. The spout has a spout body, which forms a passage (153) for delivering a medium from the spout and/or feeding a medium to the pouch. In a bottom part thereof, the spout, on opposite sides, forms a sealing zone for a sealed connection to an adjoining foil wall. The sealing zones of the spout body are formed by sealing walls (158, 159) which project downward from the spout body, each having a curvature over their entire length, such that each sealing wall is outwardly convex over its entire length with respect to an imaginary plane passing through the outermost ends, which adjoin one another, of the sealing walls. The sealing walls can preferably move flexibly transversely with respect to their plane and, on their inner side, are supported or are supported by one or more flexible supporting parts of the spout body.
