Abstract: The invention relates to a blood withdrawal device (10) having an active liquid (12) containing a platelet aggregation inhibitor, a microneedle patch (14) having a plurality of microneedles (20), wherein a plurality of microneedles (20) is configured for dispensing the active liquid (12) into the skin (34) of a patient, and comprising a negative pressure generating device (16) connected to a plurality of microneedles (20) such that blood (46) can be drawn from the skin (34) by means of the microneedles (20). According to the invention the active liquid (12) contains a pain killer, the active liquid (12) is arranged in the blood receptacle (18), and the negative pressure generating device (16) is connected to the blood receptacle (18), such that by generating an excess pressure in the blood receptacle (18), the active liquid (12) can be dispensed by way of microneedles (20), and by generating a negative pressure, blood (46) can be drawn into the blood receptacle (18).

Abstract: A bio-measurement data recording device has a seat which has a back surface made of a foam material, a seat surface, and a plurality of back surface sensors embedded in the back surface such that a plurality of leads for an electrocardiogram of a the person can be received. At least two seat surface sensors are embedded in the seat surface. A left hand grip is arranged such that it can be gripped by the person with the left hand and which has a left hand grip sensor or conducting a channel for the electrocardiogram, and a right hand grip is arranged such that it can be gripped by said person with the right hand and which has a right hand grip sensor for conducting a channel for the electrocardiogram. An evaluation unit is connected to the sensors and is configured to ascertain the electrocardiogram.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of executing an on-line transaction for the purchase and sale of currencies or other traded assets. A sale order is entered simultaneously with the purchase order to take effect upon the market price reaching either a predetermined gain or loss in value. Tokens of predetermined denominations are used to execute the transactions.

Abstract: An integrated medical clinic and retreat owner-member treatment process includes the steps of acquiring an equity ownership in a medical clinic and membership in a clinic associated medical retreat program to become an owner-member. The owner-member starts the retreat program with the process of entering the medical clinic for a doctor's examination and for diagnostic testing. The diagnostic testing and the doctor's examination information are processed in a central computer for designing an owner-member wellness program for entering the medical retreat program using diagnostic test results and a doctor's examination and including designing custom nutrition activities and therapy plans for the owner-member during his tenure in the medical retreat.

Abstract: A method of making a tailgate for a pickup truck or the like includes selecting a pair of polymer sheets and selecting a flexible fiberglass woven mat and sandwiching the selected fiberglass woven mat between the selected pair of polymer sheets. The sandwiched mat polymer sheets are placed on a tailgate forming mold for molding the inner tailgate panel from the sandwiched matted polymer sheets. The inner tailgate panel has a plurality of spacing reinforcing ribs thereon. The outer tailgate panel is formed and the ribs on the inner tailgate panel have a cold setting adhesive applied thereto for binding the outer tailgate panel thereover to form a tailgate having inner and outer fiberglass reinforced polymer panels spaced and reinforced by a plurality of intersecting ribs. Once the inner and outer panels have been positioned, they are placed in a fixture to hold them while the adhesive cures.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an adjusting apparatus having an optical aimer that includes a reflector for adjusting parts of a motor vehicle, in particular distance warning radar, headlights, or an axle; having an emitting device that emits a collimated beam; and having a vertical adjusting device for orienting the reflector at a certain angle to a floor of a measuring station forming the contact plane of the vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an adjusting apparatus having an optical aimer (2) that includes a reflector (2.1) for adjusting parts of a motor vehicle, in particular distance warning radar, headlights, or an axle; having an emitting device (3) that emits a collimated beam (3.4); and having a vertical adjusting device (1) for orienting the reflector (2.1) at a certain angle (&bgr;) to a floor (5) of a measuring station forming the contact plane of the vehicle. An exact vertical alignment or orientation at a certain tilt angle to the floor of the measuring station is achieved by simple measures, in that the emitting device (3) is positioned in a vehicle region remote from the aimer (2), at a specific, defined level (h) of the vehicle above the measuring-station floor (5) and may be adjusted for emitting the beam (3.
