Abstract: A method and assembly for protecting flat detectors for electromagnetic radiation and/or particle radiation from excessive local intensities in an experiment to be conducted. Multiple absorbers are intelligently positioned in front of sections of a detector area, and further disclosing a detector protection arrangement for protecting area detectors for electromagnetic radiation and/or particle radiation from excessive local intensities.

Abstract: A method of setting up a connection in a communication environment controlled by a communication system between a first node allocated to a first contact and a second node allocated to a second contact includes the steps of providing a contact element within the first node for the first contact, the contact element having graphic and functional properties and graphically representing the second contact, an unambiguous identification and contact data being allocated to the contact element; accessing the contact data using a program and setting up a first connection from the first node to the communication system; checking within the communication system using the unambiguous identification whether the contact element is approved by the communication system for the setting-up of connections; and setting up a second connection to the second node depending on a result of the checking.

Abstract: Method and system of telecommunication between at least two users over a telecommunications network, wherein the first user is connected to the telecommunications network via a first terminal and the second user via a second terminal, and wherein a virtual representative is allocated to each user. A first virtual representative is allocated to the first user and a second virtual representative to the second user. The first and second virtual representatives are presented on the first terminal and on the second terminal.

Abstract: A method for providing an information service, comprising the steps of communicating, from a user via a request communications link to at least one information service provider (ISP), information service indication data indicating at least one information service requested by the user, and providing the at least one indicated information service from at least one of the at least one information service provider (ISP) to the user.
