  • Publication number: 20110173273
    Abstract: A system according to the invention comprises a communication device 1, an authorized website server 2 having a website 20 and an unauthorized website server 3 having a phishing website 30. Before starting internet transactions a client provides a pool 10 of personal data, e. g. digital image data to the authorized server 2. After submitting these data, whenever the authorized server sends an e-mail message 21 to the communication device 1, some of the personal data 11 of the pool 10 of personal data are attached to the e-mail 21. Thus the client 1 knows that the e-mail originates from the authorized server 2.

  • Patent number: 7487598
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a scale, a system and a method for determining and/or simulating the proportional dimensions of a selected area of an object or a location, whereupon in a first step a scale with at least two target points having a defined or definable distance from one another is arranged on a selected area of an object or in a location, whereupon in a second step a reproduction is taken of the object or location by a camera, with a scale affixed in the selected area and whereupon in a third step, the reproduction thus taken is read into data processing equipment which is set up in such a way that the proportional dimensions in a selected area are determined or simulated.

  • Publication number: 20070187278
    Abstract: A packaging for all kinds of objects with an at least partially flexible cover, which at least partially surrounds the object to be packaged, wherein the flexible cover at least partially limits or encloses one or more gas chambers, which are filled with a gaseous medium and preferably may be emptied such that they are refillable, wherein the gas chamber(s), define a packaging space in which the object to be packaged may be accommodated, wherein an outer cover made from a rigid or from an inherently flexible material is provided, which is dimensionally stable under stress in the inflated state, such that compressive forces may be accommodated via the outer cover, wherein the packaging space is largely retained in the empty state under compressive load. The invention further concerns a method for packaging objects with a packaging of this kind as well as a method for manufacturing such packaging.
