Abstract: A method and system for authenticating a device, board, assembly or system includes obtaining or processing test/scan information provided via extraction of ECID or other unique identifying information regarding a board. A re-authentication process is performed to verify that the board contains only legitimate ECID or other uniquely identified devices, via comparison of re-extracted codes of devices at known positions against a reference record, the reference record being established by an initial authentication process that utilizes information regarding authentic/unique ECID or other uniquely identified codes of devices delivered to populate the board to derive the reference record for the device.

Abstract: Story panels are generated. A story panel forms a portion of a computer game that includes multimedia content corresponding to a dramatic story and one or more game challenges. The story panels are combined into one or more episodes of the dramatic story, wherein a transition from a first story panel to a second story panel is effected conditioned on fulfilling requirements of a game challenge included in the first story panel. Input options are included in each story panel that enable a user to interact with the story panel when playing the computer game. The story panels are configured to be displayed in one of several different gaming modes. One or more story panels associated with an episode are streamed to electronic devices over network connections for presentation on displays coupled to the electronic devices.

Abstract: Work management systems and method are described, specifically providing examples of hotel work management systems and methods. An apparatus may include a work management system that tracks tasks to be done. Each task may be assigned to a user, which the user may access a task list view a remote device. The work management system may be updated in real-time when a task is finished, a task is added, or a task is removed. The work management system may then update the user task list in real-time to allow a user device to see updated tasks on the remote device. Further, the system can track maintenance issues with photographic record(s).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for detecting analytes, including a plastic substrate at least partially covered by bonding polymers attached to the substrate in a non-covalent manner, said bonding polymers comprising a polysaccharide backbone provided with aromatic groupings and carboxylic acid groupings.

Abstract: Method for placing one vehicle of a group of individual public vehicles at the disposal of a user, the said method being characterized in that it comprises the following steps: receiving from each individual public vehicle information including the geographic position of the vehicle, creating a database including the information of the geographic positions of the vehicles, receiving a request to place a vehicle at the disposal of the user in a position, using the database to identify a vehicle available in this position or close to this position, and sending the user the information relating to the actual exact position of the available vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of at least one unsaponifiable component of vegetable oil, in particular of avocado, soya bean and/or lupin oils, for the preparation of a medicament intended to stimulate the expression of TGF-? or the expression of the plasminogen activator inhibitor PAI-1. The invention also relates to a method of cosmetic treatment comprising the application of at least one unsaponifiable component of vegetable oil as well as the use of the latter as additive in a food for human beings and/or for animals.

Abstract: Capsules, for example for the delivery of pharmaceuticals, are produced from two films (18) of a water-soluble polymeric material, by deforming the films to form a multiplicity of recesses, and filling the recesses, using two adjacent rotary dies (14, 15; 42) with recesses (16) into which the films (18) are deformed. The dies (14, 15; 42) act as electrodes for welding the films together by dielectric welding to form filled capsules (30). The capsules (30) can be separated from the resulting web either by coating at least one of the dies (14) with an electrical insulator (21), or by transferring the web from the dies (14, 15; 42) to a second pair of dies which cut the capsules (30) free. The polymeric material may be gelatin, or a water-soluble cellulose derivative such as hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, and may also contain a plasticiser.
