Abstract: The present invention relates to a position-sensitive detector for detecting photon or particle distributions, in which the detector receiving surface (1) is formed by several detector cells (2) comprised of individual detector elements, which are connected with several readout channels (5). The allocation of detector cells (2) to the readout channels (5) is selected in such a way that the center of gravity position of the photon or particle distribution impinging on the detector receiving surface (1) can be locally determined from signals of the readout channels (5). The detector enables a high spatial resolution given a low number of readout channels.

Abstract: The present invention provides a security module for Web application, especially a portal application, using a rewriter proxy. The security module ensures that the rewritten URIs are appended by an authentication identifier for determining whether the rewritten URI has not been changed. Preferably, the authentication identifier can be generated by applying a secure hash algorithm and/or secret key to the original URIs of the remote resource or the entire rewritten URIs. When a client activates those URIs, a request is sent to the rewriter proxy. Before a connection to the access protected remote resource is established, the security module validates whether the URIs contained in the user client request have been changed by the user.

Abstract: A method for producing adhesive-bound book blocks from gathered signatures for which the individual signatures forming a non-bound book block are supplied while positioned on the spine on a transfer section to an opened conveying clamp on a perfect binder and are subsequently held while clamped in by the closed conveying clamp along the flat outer surfaces. The gathered signatures of a book block are released in an additional conveying section from the conveying clamp in order to be aligned while guided. Prior to leaving the conveying section for aligning the signatures, the signatures are clamped in once more by the conveying clamps along the flat outer surfaces, so that they can be conveyed to further processing locations.
