Abstract: A controller for a drive motor (60) of a product conveyor belt at a checkout has a phase-start cutting and/or phase-end cutting controller (50) that controls the drive motor (60) in such a manner that the product conveyor belt is accelerated with reduced torque from a non-driven state. A start controller controls the drive motor (60) in such a manner that the drive motor (60) initially drives with a non-reduced torque when accelerating the product conveyor belt from the non-driven state before the phase-start cutting and/or phase-end cutting controller (50) further accelerates the product conveyor belt with reduced torque.

Abstract: An apparatus and process for measuring and processing physiological signals is portable, and have a device for capturing (3, 3'), shaping (4, 4') and digitizing (5) continuously at least one electrocardiographic signal and one signal representing the variation in impedance of a given volume (V) of the body (6) of a patient. A digital preprocessing unit (7) co-operating with control (8) and display (9) devices and a detachable memory (10) for the digitized signals or values token from significant parameters and, finally, by a central digital processing device (12) that collects and stores, by successive transfers, the data from the memory (10) and makes a comparison of them.
