Abstract: A power transmitter (101) comprises a driver (201) generating a drive signal for an output resonance circuit comprising transmitter coil (103) generating a power transfer signal. A resonance detector (307) determines a coupled resonance frequency for the output resonance circuit during where the coupled resonance frequency is a resonance frequency for the output resonance circuit for the transmitter coil (103) being coupled to a receiver coil (107) which is part of a power transfer input resonance circuit of the power receiver (105). The input resonance circuit has a quality factor of no less than ten. An estimation circuit (309) determines a coupling factor estimate for the coupling between the transmitter coil (103) and the receiver coil (107) in response to a non-coupled resonance frequency of the output resonance circuit and the first effective resonance frequency. An adapter (311) sets an operating parameter in response to the coupling factor estimate.

Abstract: The methods and system allow for the generation of a signcrypted biometric electronic signature token using a subsequent biometric sample after an enrollment of a biometric reference value in a biometric system. The signcrypted biometric electronic signature token involves simultaneous encryption and digital signature to protect the confidentiality. The system as described herein provides data integrity, origin authentication, and efficiency by performing encryption and digital signature simultaneously. The process allows a signcrypting party to enroll in a biometric service, sign a piece of data or content using a public key, that may be tied to a trusted anchor certificate authority, and submit a biometric sample. Subsequently, the relying party may validate the information on that piece of data or content to confirm the identity of the signcrypting party.

Abstract: An anesthetization gas mask for a small animal includes a first mask part providing an inlet for an anesthetization gas and a second mask part for transmitting the anesthetization gas. The first and the second mask part define an anesthetization volume for receiving an animal's mouth part. The second mask part transmitting the anesthetization gas is movably connected to the first mask part having the inlet for an anesthetization gas. The anesthetization gas mask is geometrically constructed such that a movement of the first mask part from a working position to a blocking position relative to the second mask part blocks the passage of anesthetization gas into the anesthetization volume. This anesthetization gas mask has a valve function integrated in the mask system itself, so that anesthesia gas is not spilled when not in use and with a fixed geometry so that the extraction is always present when handled.
