Abstract: A performance monitoring system is presented for monitoring and tracing individual transactions, where transaction processing includes sending and receiving messages using messaging systems that do not allow the augmentation of existing messages with monitoring system specific correlation information. Agents are deployed to sender and receiver applications that monitor and report transactions. Both sender and receiver applications are instrumented with sensors that detect and report sending or receiving of such immutable messages. Those sensors also extract correlation data from sent and received data allowing the identification of matching corresponding send/receive pairs. A mapping agent is used to retrieve mapping information from a messaging system which may alter the additional message identification data while messages travel through the system. This mapping information is additionally used for the correlation process.

Abstract: A device for draining uncontrolled urine release in male persons has an integrally formed main body of silicone rubber. The main body comprises in a middle area, a cylindrical chamber portion having an internal cross section which is greater than the cross section of a penis of an user, in a front area, a funnel portion adjoining said cylindrical chamber portion, tapering toward the front of main said body and merging into a hose connection, and in a rear area, a transition portion adjoing said chamber portion, tapers toward the rear of said body and merging into a cylindrical terminal portion having an internal diameter which is slightly smaller than the external diameter of said penis of said user, at least two expansion tongues being provided on the rear end of said terminal portion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and method for managing uncontrolled urine release in females. The device is flexible and is worn externally on the vaginal area. This external device may further be attached to a urine collector, such as a bladder bag, and may be worn by a female person while standing, walking, sitting, or laying down. This external urine drainage device is comfortable and easy to use, avoids soiling of the laundry when worn correctly, runs a low risk of causing urinary infections or skin irritations, and is easily washable and re-usable.

Abstract: Solar roof for motor vehicles with a solar generator having solar cells for supplying power to a power consumer and/or a battery and with a D.C. converter for impedance matching between the solar generator and the consumer and/or battery. The D.C. converter is a flat module and is integrated into the solar cell carrying roof panel.
