Abstract: A communication device for implementing a system for remotely managing at least one item of equipment by a management application able to communicate via a telecommunication network with an application embedded in the item of equipment. The device includes a first communication interface allowing implementation of a local communication link with the embedded application, a second communication interface allowing access to the telecommunication network, and a communication management device configured to communicate with the embedded application via the first interface and with the management application via the second interface, serving as communication relay between the embedded application and the management application, and configured to transmit to one of the two applications a message received from the other application, according to predefined transfer rules and as a function of at least one parameter received with the message.

Abstract: A method of supplying information to participants in a telephone conference call carried out using a telecommunication network, a plurality of terminals, and a conference server. A data transmission link is established between at least two terminals and a data server that accesses the network, the data transmission link being independent of the communication link used for the transmission of voice streams established between the relevant terminal and the conference server. The conference server analyzes the streams received from the terminals during the conference to determine at least one pre-defined event relating to the progress of the conference and generates event identification data. The data server analyzes the identification data, generates information relating to the identified events, and transmits the information to the terminals for which a data transmission link has been established, via the data transmission link.

Abstract: A device for tattooing an animal such as a rodent includes a tweezers-shaped body having resilient arms with free ends, which can be squeezed together and when released will return to a spaced apart, rest position. A needle carried by the free end of one arm is aligned with a hole in the free end of the other arm, so that when an area of animal, e.g. a rodent toe, is placed between the fee ends and the arms are pressed together, the needle penetrates the animal to deposit ink beneath the skin of the animal.
