A method and system for enabling a script on a first computer to communicate and exchange data with a script on a second computer so as to provide access by the script to data typically inaccessible by a script. The method and system enable a first computer to control the Internet navigation of a second computer, and also enable instant messaging between a first computer and a member of a synchronization group. The computers may be connectable with each other over any type of network (e.g., LAN, WAN, intranet, Internet, cellular, etc.).

A touch panel includes a panel member and a multilayer film joined to a front face of the panel member, the multilayer film including a conductive film having a conductive layer and a protective film. In the multilayer film, the respective films are laminated to each other via an adhesive layer formed of a thermosetting type adhesive agent and formed in a three-dimensional shape along the front face.

A device and method for monitoring an access to a patient, an extracorporeal blood circuit and/or a dialysing fluid system includes a centrifugal pump for conveying blood or dialysing fluid instead of an occluding pump. Centrifugal pumps bring about a large change in flow rate by even a small change in pressure difference across the pump. The device includes a measuring unit for measuring the flow rate of blood or dialysing fluid conveyed by the centrifugal pump, and a control and computing unit configured to determine an incorrect vascular access or malfunction if a change in measured flow rate Q is more than a predetermined amount. For example, a small drop in pressure in the venous blood line leads to a marked increase in the flow rate of the centrifugal pump, which is used as a basis for the detection of an incorrect vascular access.

The invention is directed to a projection unit for a head-up display comprising an image generator and a first mirror and second mirror for optical imaging which are arranged in a housing one after the other in the light propagation direction in such a way that the beam path is folded twice. It is wherein one of the mirrors has a light-scattering surface shape, the other mirror h/as a light-collecting surface shape, and the two mirrors combined have a common focal point on the image generator.

The device of the invention is intended for measuring a loading force and a friction force in a tribological tester. The device consists of two deformation-sensitive sensors for simultaneous equal deformation in two opposite directions for eliminating misbalance created in the measurement system when a single sensor is used. Each sensor is a deformable beam having through longitudinal slots extending in different and non-parallel directions and overlapped within the body of the beam. The sensor deforms in one direction under the effect of a loading force measured by two pairs of strain gauges located on opposite sides of the beam near one end of the beam and in another direction under the effect of a friction force measured by another two pairs of strain gauges located on opposite sides of the beam near the other end of the beam. Two sensors are sandwiched between two plates in a diagonally symmetrical positions so as to transmit forces between both plates and at the same time to ensure limited freedom of movement between both plates to allow deformations caused by the applied forces. One plate may be attached to the loading unit of the tester and another plate may support an upper sample for engagement with the lower sample of the tester.

A delivery catheter for a stent. The delivery catheter may comprise a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end includes a stent attachment region adapted to receive a stent. The stent may be of the self-expanding type. The catheter further comprises a handle at its proximal end and at least one sheath which may at least partially circumferentially cover said stent such as to retain it in a collapsed configuration. The sheath is coupled at its proximal end to an actuator located on said handle portion. The catheter further comprises at least one radio-opaque indicator for indicating a rotational orientation of the delivery catheter and/or the stent when observed using medical imaging during implantation of the stent.

A device with a support for a mattress to accommodate a person on the mattress which includes a frame work including connectors to secure the framework in upstanding relation peripherally about the mattress; the frame work includes corner posts each extending a generally common distance above the mattress, and members spanning the corner posts defining a safety zone space between the corner posts and between the members and above a mattress on the bed, a net having an inside and an outside surface supported on the frame work and enclosing the space; and structure to attach the net and frame work together; and the net has a normally closed opening provided with a normally closed closure member for the net opening with an operator structure to open and close the opening accessable only from outside of the net.

A light emitting device having practical light emission characteristics is obtained without epitaxial growth.

A quantum dot-dispersed light emitting device of the invention includes a substrate 11, an electron injection electrode 12, a hole injection electrode 14, and an inorganic light emitting layer 13 disposed so as to be in contact with both the electrodes. The inorganic light emitting layer 13 contains an ambipolar inorganic semiconductor material and nanocrystals 15 dispersed as luminescent centers in the ambipolar inorganic semiconductor material and is configured so as to be capable of light emission without having, at the interface with the electron injection electrode and/or the hole injection electrode, epitaxial relation therewith.

For simple and reliable radio-based remote monitoring of the location of a patient without limiting his or her freedom of movement, two different locating technologies are provided for the determination of the patient's location, inside and outside of the building. For this purpose, the system has first transmission and/or receiving units distributed inside the building and second transmission and/or receiving units distributed outside the building, which at least temporarily establish a building-internal radio communication or building-external radio communication, respectively, with a third transmission and/or receiving unit in order to produce at least one location-relevant signal. A control unit has access to the building-internal radio communication and the building-external radio communication and determines the location of the patient based on the at least one location-relevant radio signal. A central monitoring unit displays this determined location.
