Abstract: A medical system includes at least two mutually different implants and at least two mutually different instruments. Each of the instruments is configured and intended to cooperate and be compatible with an implant. The medical system also includes a microscope that defines a microscope field of view and a compatibility checking apparatus. The compatibility checking apparatus can be used in a method to automatically check for compatibility between an instrument and an implant when the instrument and the implant are positioned together in the microscope field of view.

Abstract: Connecting a client computer to a server may include receiving a first request at the server from the client computer for content managed by the server, and the first request includes a communication protocol and is sent from a first access point, receiving a second request at the server from the client computer for the content managed by the server, and the second request is transmitted from a second access point prior to the server responding to the first request and includes a different communication protocol than the first request, determining by the server the first request and the second request share a common attribute, transmitting a connection acceptance message from the server to the client computer identifying a selected one of the first request and the second request based on a most optimal connection associated with the selected request, and establishing a connection between the server and the client computer based on the selected request.

Abstract: One example may include forwarding a request sent outside a VPN server, via a client device, to access a second communication network detected by the client device, and the client device is communicating with the VPN server over a first communication network, responsive to receiving a captive portal, forwarding, via the client device, authentication information to obtain access to the second communication network, and the authentication information is not forwarded to the VPN server, and receiving data, by the client device, from a remote server over a bonded connection including a first connection provided by the first communication network bonded with a second connection provided by the second communication network to form the bonded connection.

Abstract: A receiver path for a measurement device is provided. Said receiver path comprises a radio frequency input path for inputting a radio frequency input signal, a mixer for generating an intermediate frequency signal by mixing the radio frequency input signal with a local oscillator signal, and an intermediate frequency signal carrying path for carrying the intermediate frequency signal. In this context, the intermediate frequency signal carrying path comprises a voltage variable attenuator.

Abstract: Systems and methods for printing are disclosed. In one arrangement, the systems and methods pertain to receiving information with a printing device regarding the location of data to be printed by the printing device, obtaining the data to be printed via a network, and printing the data as a hard copy document.

Abstract: Printing a print job on an image producing device by storing print data from the print job to an external storage device, retrieving the print data from the external storage device to the image producing device, and generating an image for the print job using the image producing device.

Abstract: A tube-forming apparatus in a bag-forming, filling, and sealing machine has a longitudinal seam heat-sealing device for connecting edge regions of the packing material belt that are placed against each other inside surface to inside surface. In order to achieve a sufficient sealing temperature in a short time, a heating body that is embodied in a lamella-like fashion protrudes like a tongue between the edge regions. In order to aid the heating body, similar heating bodies rest against the outside of the edge regions. The heating bodies have a U-shaped electric resistance wire with elongated legs which is embedded in a longitudinally folded casing made of a thin, temperature-proof woven cloth.

Abstract: A container has an internal cavity for receiving knife blades lying side by side in a stack, the internal cavity being capable of being reduced in size by a slide member which is preferably displaceable in only one direction. In this way the blades are located in position however full the container is, and damage to the cutting edges by movement or slipping in the package is avoided. Furthermore a method is proposed by which first the blade which lies against the slide is extracted from the stack and then the slide member is urged against the stack of blades.

Abstract: There is disclosed a device for holding knife blades intended for sale, comprising a stiff sheet-like carrier on which there is mechanically mounted a dispenser which receives the blades and protects them from direct access, in such a way that the carrier has to be destroyed in order to open the dispenser and to free it from the carrier.
