Abstract: A dishwasher includes a pump facility to selectively supply washing liquor to first and second spray apparatuses, an intensive spray apparatus assigned to the first or second spray apparatus and brought into an activated or deactivated state by a switch valve, and a control apparatus for carrying out a washing program and for detecting a first pump flow while the first spray apparatus is supplied with washing liquor and detecting a second pump flow while the second spray apparatus is supplied with washing liquor, so as to form a current differential value as a function of the first and second pump flows and to ascertain a current switch state of the intensive spray apparatus as a function of the current differential value, a number of stored earlier differential values and a predetermined class differential value. The control apparatus adapts the washing program as a function of the current switch state.

Abstract: An ophthalmoscope having a laser device for laser irradiation of an eye, in particular for performing a photocoagulation on fundus of the eye of the eye, includes an illuminator for illuminating the eye as well as a camera for acquiring an image of the eye. The illuminator is adapted to generate visible and infrared lights. The ophthalmoscope further includes a control unit adapted to trigger the illuminator for generating a light pulse of visible light and to read out from the camera a control image of the eye acquired by the camera during the light pulse. The ophthalmoscope is configurable to acquire an image of an eye and perform a laser treatment of an eye.

Abstract: A telephony communications system for detecting abuse in a public telephone network to which a telephone network subscriber is connected includes: a telephone system server, configured to: emulate an extension subscriber in order to simulate the existence of the emulated extension subscriber of the telephone system vis-à-vis an attacking entity, receive a control command from the attacking entity to establish a telephone connection between the emulated extension subscriber and the telephone network subscriber, and send a connection request to the telephone network subscriber in response to receiving the control command in order to initiate the establishment of the telephone connection between the emulated extension subscriber and the telephone network subscriber; and a telephone network abuse detection device configured to detect an abuse attempt in the public telephone network on the basis of the telephone network address of the telephone network subscriber.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a high-barrier composite, comprising a substrate, a first layer made of an exclusively inorganic material, a first layer made of an inorganic-organic hybrid material, and a second layer made of an exclusively inorganic material, characterized in that the layer made of inorganic-organic hybrid material is arranged directly between the two layers made of exclusively inorganic material and has a thickness of less than 1 ?m. The composite can be produced using the steps wherein the layer or layers made of inorganic-organic hybrid material is/are applied to the [sic, word missing—substrate?—Tr.] coated with inorganic material by means of applying a lacquer material with a viscosity of 0.002 Pas to 0.02 Pas and/or a surface tension in the range of 25 mN/m to 35 mN/m or a laminating material with a viscosity of 0.1 Pas to 200 Pas, wherein the substrate is transported without contact with the means effecting the transport.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a surface-coating material comprising a matrix of an at least partly organic polymer and also at least one component selected from components which, following appropriate triggering, are reactive towards oxygen. These components are preferably oxygen-consuming and/or they are able to indicate the presence of oxygen. The surface-coating material is suitable in particular as a coating material or as an adhesive. The invention further relates to a substrate provided with a coating of the stated surface-coating material, to a composite material composed of a plurality of layers which have been joined using this surface-coating material, and to production processes therefor. In one particular embodiment the matrix is formed from an organic-inorganic hybrid polymer; alternatively it may have a purely organic construction. The component that is reactive towards oxygen may either be embedded in the matrix or incorporated covalently therein.
