Abstract: A method in a system comprising at least one portable data carrier, an authentication server and at least one reading device of at least one service provider which is couplable to the authentication server. The data carrier is adapted to communicate contactlessly with the reading device and comprises a security marking which can be read contactlessly by the reading device and on the basis of which the data carrier can be authenticated by the authentication server. The method comprises the step of equipping the data carrier with a data-carrier management marking that encodes a piece of data-carrier management information and readable contactlessly by a portable terminal. The method includes contactlessly reading out the data-carrier management marking by a portable terminal, transferring the data-carrier management information encoded in the data-carrier management marking to the authentication server, and managing the data carrier in the system employing the data-carrier management information.

Abstract: A method for managing portable data carriers in a system having at least one portable data carrier, an authentication server, and several service providers systems each including reading devices and a service provider unit. The reading devices may request an authentication information item of the data carrier and relay the authentication information item to the authentication server. The authentication server may authenticate the data carrier on the basis of the authentication information item and establish an application identity associated with the data carrier in the service provider system with the help of the security identity The established application identity associated with the data carrier may be transmitted from the authentication server to the reading device of the service provider system.

Abstract: A new method of in vitro monitoring and assessing the need of a medication which interferes with the regulation of the parathyroid hormone level in a kidney patient subject to oxidative stress, notably hemodialysis patients. FIG. 1 shows the distribution of n-oxPTH concentrations in 340 hemodialysis patients (224 men and 116 women) with a median age of 66 years (IQR, 56 to 75 years), a median time since initiation of dialysis (dialysis vintage) of 266 days (IQR, 31 to 1209 days), and a median dialysis dose (kt/V) of 1.2 (IQR, 1.1 to 1.3). The cause of chronic kidney disease was nephrosclerosis in 113 cases (33%), diabetic nephropathy in 107 cases (31%), chronic glomerular nephritis in 29 cases (9%), polycystic kidney disease in 9 cases (3%) and other/unknown in 82 cases (24%). The median n-oxPTH concentration was 5.9 ng/L (IQR, 2.4 to 14.0 ng/L). n-oxPTH concentrations were not different in men and women (5.9 ng/L; IQR, 2.4 to 14.2 ng/L; n=224; vs. 5.5 ng/L; IQR, 2.4 to 14.0 ng/L; n=116; p=0.915).

Abstract: A method and a display preparation unit are proposed for the execution of a transaction during which transaction data are processed which have to be confirmed by a user. The display preparation unit has a converter unit which converts transaction data to be interpreted into pixel values and displays them on a monitor, an interface of its own for directly attaching an input unit via which a user confirms displayed transaction data, as well as a crypto unit for generating a signature for a record of confirmed transaction data. In a variant the confirmation can be effected by the crypto unit generating and displaying a random number which has to be inputted by the user via a conventionally attached input unit.

Abstract: Diagnosis system or immunoassay for the determination of the effective parathyroid hormone activity in a sample, and for a diagnosis and treatment of calcium metabolism disturbances, osteopathies and hyper- or hypoparathyroidisms. The parathyroid hormone activity is measured with the aid of an antibody which binds to an epitope in the region of the receptor binding structure 15 to 22 of the parathyroid hormone, and an antibody which recognises whether the amino-terminal end 1 to 3 of the parathyroid hormone is intact. The assay permits the antagonistic characteristics of some parathyroid hormone fragments to be taken into account.

Abstract: A forward-control counterweight fork-lift truck has a liftable and tiltable load-lifting device (1), a traction drive and operating drives for the movement of the load-lifting device (1). A calculation model (D) is stored in a control device (SE), to which directly or indirectly acting sensors (S) are connected for detecting the lifting load (L), the lifting height (H), the tilting angle (WM), the load torque (M), the direction of travel (R), the driving speed (V), and the steering angle (WL). The control device (SE) is designed to determine a driving and load state (Z) based on the detected physical variables (L, H, WM, M, R, V, WL) and the stored calculation model (D) and is operatively connected to the traction drive and the operating drives. Depending on the driving and load state (Z) determined, the operating speed, starting and braking acceleration, and driving speed are each reduced.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for cooling at least one component by hydraulic fluid from a hydraulic circuit. The hydraulic circuit includes a hydraulic pump, at least one user of hydraulic energy, and a reservoir. The component is connected into the hydraulic circuit between a heat exchanger and the intake side of the pump. The component is connected into a suction line that connects the reservoir with the pump. Between the component and the pump there is a control valve connected on the output side to a bypass suction line connected with the reservoir. In a first position of the control valve, the suction line is closed and the bypass suction line is open. In a second position of the control valve, the suction line is at least partly open. The heat exchanger can be connected into the suction line or into the return line.
