Abstract: A sterile container and a closure mechanism for the sterile container. The sterile container includes a container pan and a container lid. The container lid is lockable to the container pan by the closure mechanism. The closure mechanism has a bar element for undercut engagement with an engagement element arranged on the container pan or on the container lid and which forms an undercut. The bar element is positionable in a closed position, in which the bar element is operatively engaged with the engagement element via the undercut, and in a release position, in which the bar element and the engagement element are disengaged. The closure mechanism includes a locking element that is operatively connectable to the bar element and which is integrated into the closure mechanism in such a way that the locking element blocks the closure mechanism when the closed position is reached.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for electronic payment network security. Payment data including an origin and a destination for a payment in an electronic payment network may be received. A route of the payment in the electronic payment network may be estimated based on the origin and the destination. The estimated route of the payment in the electronic payment network may be input to a neural network. Fraud probabilities may be determined using the neural network. A fraud probability may include a value indicating a probability of fraud in the payment in the electronic payment network.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for a resource transfer system. An instruction to transfer a first quantity of a resource from a first resource pool to a second resource pool may be received. A hold may be placed on a second quantity of the resource in the first resource pool. The held second quantity of the first resource may not be transferred from the first resource pool until the hold is released. Responsive to receiving a message that fulfills a condition on the hold and an instruction to execute the transfer, the hold may be released. A register that is in the first resource pool and is associated with the resource may decremented by the first quantity, and a register that is in the second resource pool and is associated with the resource may be incremented by the first quantity.

Abstract: A closing/locking mechanism for a sterile container includes an actuation lever, a tension bow or claw coupled to the actuation lever, and an engagement element forming an undercut and with which the tension bow or claw can be brought into operative engagement to apply a tensile force to the engagement element. The tension bow or claw is mounted for sliding transversely to the tensile force to be applied. A spring is arranged in an operative position relative to the tension bow or claw in such a way that, when a predefined actuation position of the actuation lever and a predefined/predefinable sliding position of the tension bow or claw are reached, in which position the tension bow or claw already reaches behind the engagement element, the spring applies a compressive force to the tension bow or claw in the direction of the tensile force.

Abstract: A container seal includes a locking bolt, which has on one end portion or central portion thereof a push-in/latch compartment which is open in the transverse direction relative to the lock axis and is formed or provided with an undercut acting in the direction of the latch compartment opening; a clip or tab, wherein the clip or tab is arranged on the other end portion of the locking bolt; and a bolt or bar which is arranged on the free end/end portion of the clip or tab and has on the free end/end portion thereof a latch device which is coupled to the bolt via a predetermined breaking point.

Abstract: A transport device for transporting a sterile-product container a includes a trolley and support elements on a first level and on a second level. A receptacle is storable on the support elements. A lifting support is arrangeable in a first position such that the receptacle is movable back and forth between the support elements of the first level and the lifting support. The lifting support is arrangeable in a second position such that the receptacle is movable back and forth between the support elements of the second level and the lifting support. The transport device also includes a guide extending transversely to the first and second levels. The guide guides the lifting support from the first position into the second position. The transport device further includes a drive, by which the lifting support is movable along the guide from the first position into the second position.

Abstract: A tag for determining the location and/or tracking the location and/or determining the orientation of a medical device includes at least one radio-based tracking unit designed to actively and/or passively communicate wirelessly with a first external device, preferably by means of NFC, Bluetooth Low Energy, DECT or WLAN. The tag has at least one optical marker element that conveys information, optically detectable by at least a second external device, regarding its position and orientation in a virtual coordinate system. A medical device can include the tag and a system for location and/or orientation determination.

Abstract: In a method, computer readable medium, or system for making a payment transaction between a payor having an associated payor computer with a ledger storage for the payor and a payee having an associated payee computer with a ledger storage for the payee in a consensus payment network having a plurality of nodes each comprising a respective computer with ledger storage and relying on consensus determinations, an initiator is provided for making the payment transaction between the payor and the payee, the initiator being either the payor, the payee, or an intermediary having an associated intermediary computer. The respective initiator computer creates a temporary payment transaction consensus subnetwork comprising a set of validation nodes acceptable to both the payor and the payee, the set of validation nodes comprising fewer than all of said plurality of nodes in the payment network.

Abstract: A sterile container unit for receiving items which are sterilized or are to be sterilized includes a container tray and a container lid that can be coupled to the container tray by a closure element. The closure element can be actuated by a pivoting movement. An information carrier can be interlockingly fastened to the container tray and set up to display information regarding the content of the sterile container unit. The container tray, the closure element and the information carrier are adapted to one another such that, following the pivoting movement of the closure element, the information carrier is rigidly fixed/locked on the container tray.
