  • Publication number: 20130275315
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling fraud in presentations, sales and transactions using electronic devices to collect biometric data or other identification from a person seeking access to a property or wishing to participate in a transaction. The device located on real property can communicate with a remote computer that decides whether to allow or deny access. Persons seeking access can be categorized, and different access procedures can be used based on the person's category. The system can track and record all accesses, egresses, offers and counter-offers made on the property or transaction and other types of data about the history of the participants, presentation, or transaction from when it is started until it is concluded.

  • Patent number: 7665937
    Abstract: Milling cutter (1), which can rotate about a cutter longitudinal axis (A), comprises a sleeve-shaped shaft (2) provided with an inner lying chip evacuation channel (11), which is arranged, in essence, symmetric to the cutter longitudinal axis (A), and with a suction opening (12). The milling cutter also comprises a milling head (3, 3a, 3b, 3c), which is held coaxial to the cutter longitudinal axis (A) and to the shaft (2) while being held on said shaft and which comprises, as cutting edges (7, 9), a face cutting edge (7) and a peripheral cutting edge (9). At least one cutting edge (7, 9) forms a positive rake angle (?Ya,?Yr) on the periphery of the milling head (3, 3a, 3b, 3c). The milling cutter (1) is particularly suited for machining light metals, especially for circular milling.

  • Patent number: 4736617
    Abstract: A receptacle for the connection of gas sensors to a measurng gas chamber has a gas inlet including a feeding line connection for the measuring gas that is equipped with an operable shut-off element. A gas sensor holder is attached and held by a movable compression part that presses it in the direction toward the gas inlet as the gas sensor is attached to the measuring chamber. The feeding line for the measuring gas is connected into a measuring gas chamber and it is opened simultaneously and without additional manipulation and closed again after the removal of the gas sensor from the receptacle. To this end, the compression part is provided with an activating part for the shut-off element of the feeding line.
