Abstract: A method of forming a honeycomb-shaped assembly comprises providing a plurality of profiled strips. Each of the profiled strips comprises two base sides positioned at an obtuse angle relative to each other to form a trough-shaped configuration. An inner projecting flange and an outer projecting flange extend from the base sides. One of the inner projecting flange and outer projecting flange comprises an groove. Two connecting sides each extend along a plane from one of the two base sides and each includes at least one free end including a projection. The plurality of profiled strips are stacked to form an octagonal honeycomb configuration by inserting the projection of a connecting side of one of the plurality of profiled strips into the groove of a base side of another of the plurality of profiled strips. At least a portion of the projection is received by the groove in an interlocking manner.

Abstract: A system (100), for transdermal monitoring of the alcohol concentration (TAK) in a test subject (10), has an electronic measuring device (10) which is portable on the body of the test subject (1). A measuring module (11) transdermally detects measured values of the alcohol concentration (TAK) in the test subject (2). A transmission module (12) transmits the measured values to a relay station (20) having a receiving module (21), receiving measured values from the transmission module (12) and a sending module (22), sending received measured values to a remotely located monitoring station (30). An energy storage device (13, 23) provides an energy supply of the measuring module (11) which is uncoupled from the energy supply of the relay station (20).

Abstract: A measuring apparatus for measuring a structure comprises at least one measurement sensor configured to measure the structure, a bearing platform configured to carry the at least one measurement sensor and a control. The control is configured to specify at least one quality reference value for at least one characteristic of measurement quality, and further configured to adjust one or more parameters of the measuring apparatus which influence the at least one characteristic of measurement quality. An actual quality value is determined and approaches the at least one quality reference value as the one or more parameters are adjusted.

Abstract: A method for monitoring breath is provided, comprising: measuring one or more attributes of airflow through an input device, by a flow sensor within the input device, of air blown into said input device by an expelling action of a user; transmitting the attributes of airflow from the input device to a processing device, including a processor and communication terminal; communicating, via the communication terminal, a first state output to the user while the air is blown into said input device; and determining, by the processor of the processing device, whether each of the attributes of airflow is within a respective threshold range. If a respective threshold range is met, the communication terminal communicates a second state output to the user.

Abstract: An installation element for use in cooling technology, in water treatment, or in mass transfer and a method for producing such an element. The installation element is sell supporting and is composed of a plurality of plies which are at least partially spatially structured and which are connected to each other. Adjacent plies form flow paths for a liquid and/or a gaseous medium between the adjacent plies. The installation element has at least some of the plies being composed of an at least three-layer coextruded plastic film, a center layer of the three-layer plastic film being a mechanically supporting layer, and the two outer layers are composed of a plastic having application-specific properties or are layers each having at least one additive which is added to the plastic and which gives application specific properties to the outer layers.

Abstract: Systems and methods are presented that provide a visualization for displaying an order life-cycle for one or more orders. The visualization includes one or more order objects representing orders for financial instruments (e.g., stocks, bonds, securities) and connectivity between the one or more order objects to help show an order history for the order objects. The visualization shows how orders develop over time by allowing a more specific order life-cycle to be emphasized in the visualization. The systems and methods described below allow for direct visibility for the development of orders over time using a unique and interactive visualization.

Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for providing a visualization that is capable for displaying trade activity for one or more client accounts for a broker. The visualization includes one or more trade objects representing trades for one or more financial instruments and connectivity between one or more trade objects to show an event history for a particular trade. The visualization also provides a display for account activity including account withdrawals, deposits, and balance. The systems and method described below allow for automatic and/or manual detection of suspicious activity for a client account by virtue of information provided in the visualization.

Abstract: A device for recognizing correct use of an alcohol-measuring device by a driver in a vehicle has at least the alcohol-measuring device, an analyzing and control unit and a camera unit. At least an area of the face of the driver can be detected by the image field of the camera unit. The analyzing and control unit is connected to a driving control unit for detecting motion of the vehicle, to the camera unit and to the alcohol-measuring device. The camera unit can be activated by the analyzing and control unit as a function of the driving control unit in such a way that at least the area of the face of the driver is detected.

Abstract: Hammer disarmer for rifles, constituted of a cylindrical pin lodged in the hammer itself having an operable protruding head over the curved upper surface of the hammer spur, going downwards through a cylindrical portion provided with a frontal plane recess, within which a positioning transverse pin limiting the movements of the disarming axle operates, over which a small return spring lodged within the hole of the hammer also actuates, said hole whose diameter decreases downwards, lodging and guiding the whole elongated portion of the disarmer until its edge emerges from the lower plane face of the hammer, where it actuates the disarming lever. If the hammer is armed, a thumb pressure on the actuation head, is sufficient to release the hammer disarmer, which is pushed by the corresponding spring to an interrupted rotation when fitted to the trigger, before the position of percussion. If the hammer is disarmed, it can be simply armed with the thumb to fire the gun, pulling the trigger when desired.
