Abstract: A computer input device for inputting graphical location data and alphanumerical data. The device is arranged with a keypad for the input of the alphanumerical data. According to the invention, keys of the keypad are not only used for input by means of individually enacted keys, but also for input by means of two or more simultaneously enacted adjacent or non-adjacent keys, thereby enhancing the gamut of input considerably. Furthermore, a user may also set the keypad in a number of modes, (e.g. Non-Shifted mode, Shift mode, Num mode and Num-Lock mode), thereby further enhancing the input capability considerably. Advantageously, certain keys may also be given a user programmable function.

Abstract: A method and a device for communication/control of access, the term access including access to services and or goods. According to the invention should a person wishing to use the method for obtaining access establish contact via telephone with machine or called person (B-replier); as a following step should said person, verbally or by signalling via existing keypad, request access; and as a subsequently following step evaluates contacted machine/person (B-replier) whether or not the request for access should be accepted; and as a final step, on accepted received information from the calling person, initiates called machine or person (B-replier) performance of relevant action by signalling to the required unit.

Abstract: A device for taking and dispensing blood samples for the purpose of determining blood sedimentation, comprising a sampling tube (6) which is sealed against the ingress of air and liquid by means of a rubber stopper (8) and in which a partial vacuum either prevails or can be created by means of a displaceable plunger (14) arranged in the sampling tube. The sampling tube contains a given quantity of an anti-coagulant (9), and connected to the sampling tube (6), preferably integral therewith, is a pipette tube (7) having an inner diameter and a length conforming to the standards prescribed for the sedimentation reaction. According to one embodiment, the pipette tube (7) is sealed against the ingress of air and liquid and encloses a partial vacuum.
