Abstract: A hybrid transaction card reader system includes a hybrid transaction card reader and a device for protecting the hybrid reader. The hybrid transaction card reader includes a magnetic strip reader and a chip reader. The device for protecting the hybrid reader includes an upper protective printed circuit and a lower protective printed circuit. The hybrid reader further includes a lateral protective printed circuit which includes a superposition of unitary printed circuits, the plane of superposition of the unitary printed circuits being parallel to the plane of the upper protective printed circuit and to the plane of the lower protective printed circuit.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to data access control solutions. In particular, techniques are provided to implement a secure and distributed file storage scheme and in particular, a managed access system using a blockchain. In some aspects, a process of the disclosed technology includes operations for associating a first key share with a first copy of a file, wherein the first copy of the file is stored by a first party, associating a second key share with a second copy of the file, and recording versioning information corresponding with the file on a distributed ledger accessible by the first party and the second party. In some aspects, the process can further include operations for managing access to the file using the first key share and the second key share. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Abstract: Novel prognosis methods associated with cases of postpartum haemorrhage providing a predictive test enabling practitioners to provide better management of patients suffering from postpartum haemorrhage. Different risk factors exist on which a score allowing prediction of the need to carry out invasive procedures to stop bleeding has been developed.

Abstract: An inkjet printhead having at least one internal electrode in contact with ink in use, wherein region(s) of the electrode surface are covered by an electrically insulating organic material that has been deposited thereon by electrophoresis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an in vitro method of prognosis for the arrest of bleeding in a patient suffering from postpartum haemorrhage in the absence of an invasive procedure, comprising the following steps: (a) determining, using a biological sample from said patient, the plasma fibrinogen concentration, the blood troponin concentration and also the prothrombin time; (b) studying at least two clinical markers for said patient, selected from the group comprising heart rate and the presence of placentation abnormalities; (c) calculating a score Z according to the following equation: Z=a+b+v+d+e; where a is associated with the existence of placentation abnormalities in said patient, with a being 0 when no placentation abnormality is observed in said patient and a being 1 when one or more placentation abnormalities are observed in said patient; where b is associated with the heart rate of said patient, with b being 0 when the heart rate of said patient is less than or equal to 115 bpm (beats per minute)

Abstract: A contact allocation method for a subscriber smart card (300) in a mobile terminal (100) fitted with said card, the mobile terminal including at least first and second electronic modules (130, 140) suitable for communicating with the subscriber smart card (300) using respective first and second communications protocols. To enable the way in which the contacts of the subscriber smart card (300) are allocated to be managed dynamically, the card is connected to the first and to the second electronic modules (130, 140) in alternation by selectively connecting at least one contact (C4) of said card to the first or to the second electronic module (130, 140).

Abstract: An inkjet printhead (10) has at least one electrode, with exposed metal region(s) (16) of the electrode surface having a coating of inert metal, In use of the printhead, the inert metal coating functions to protect the underlying metal surface of the electrode, and in particular protects the electrode from corrosion to aqueous or other ion-containing inks. The invention is of particular benefit in piezoelectric printheads.
