Abstract: A valve arrangement (1) for a fluid carrying system (18, 21). This fluid-carrying system (18, 21) is capable of establishing a fluid connection between a patient-side coupling unit (26, 27) and a ventilator (17). In an open position a shut-off unit (7) connects a patient-side port (3) to a device-side port (4) of the valve arrangement (1) and closes this fluid connection in a closed position. A locking unit is capable of locking the shut-off unit in both the open position and the closed position. When the shut-off unit is in the closed position and, in addition, a pressure above a preset pressure limit is present at the patient-side port, the shut-off unit is moved into the open position automatically and against a locking effect of the locking unit. A process for operating a ventilation system (2) with the ventilator and the valve arrangement is also provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for warless communications. An apparatus may identifying a living person by recording a heat image of a person's facial area and detecting a local heat inhomogeneity in a predetermined detection range of the heat image in order to identify the living person. Identifying the living person may include detecting a heat pattern in a predetermined detection range and comparing the detected heat pattern to a heat reference sample. The predetermined detection range may be detected based on a heat image geometry, using pattern matching, by comparing the heat image to a white light image of a living person, or by masking the heat image.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting faults that occur or are present in an operating system of a computer, wherein an in particular independent audit task (106) is carried out during the run time before a starting time (102, 112) of the requested application task (107), wherein the control registers define the properties of the run time environment of the requested application task (107) and have reading access to the contents and validate these contents. Furthermore, the invention relates to a computer, on which such a method is carried out.

Abstract: A telescopic drive shaft in a protective tube of a handheld work apparatus has one end connected to a rotational drive and the other end thereof to a driven tool. The drive shaft includes a rigid shaft segment and a connecting section. The rigid shaft segment has a hollow shaft end portion and an engagement length (E) of the connecting section engages therein. The engagement length (E) and the length of the hollow shaft end portion mutually overlap to form a joining section. The hollow shaft end portion is deformed for connecting the connecting section to the rigid shaft segment. The material of the hollow shaft end portion is compressed over its entire periphery and deformed so that the material of the hollow shaft end portion is radially displaced and is pressed in a rotative manner onto the engagement length (E) to produce a balanced, loadable connection.
