A blood withdrawal system for producing blood from a body part for diagnostic purposes, comprising a housing with a lancet guide capable of guiding a lancet on a predetermined puncturing path and a lancet drive for driving a puncturing movement of a lancet on the predetermined path. The lancet drive comprises a drive rotor driven by a drive spring and rotates about an axis during the puncturing movement, and a coupling mechanism which converts the rotational movement of the drive rotor into a puncturing movement, wherein the lancet is moved during a forward phase of the puncturing movement in the puncturing direction until its tip penetrates into the body part to create a wound and is retracted from the skin during a retraction phase of the puncturing movement. The coupling mechanism includes a translation element coupled to the lancet and guided by a guide on a movement path.

A communication device is described that comprises a first data unit buffer for holding data units of a first communication protocol and a second data unit buffer for holding data units of a second communication protocol. The first communication protocol is a communication protocol suitable for transmitting data units from a sending peer of said first communication protocol to a receiving peer of said first communication protocol over one or more relay peers of said first communication protocol. The first communication protocol provides for at least a first type (RACK) of receipt information that is indicative of a correct receipt at a relay peer and a second type (ACK) of receipt information that is indicative of a correct receipt at said receiving peer. The second can be a conventional ARQ protocol or a protocol using the two types of receipt information. A control system is arranged to control a generation of said data units of said second communication protocol such that a data symbol stream carried in said data units of said first communication protocol is also carried in said data units of said second communication protocol, and the control system is arranged to implement the control procedure for controlling a transmission of said data units of said first communication protocol in such a way that if all the data symbols of said data symbol stream contained in a given data unit of said first communication protocol are successfully transferred into said second data unit buffer, then said control procedure acts as if said first type (RACK) of receipt information had been received for said given data unit.

A banknote handling machine having an infeed part for receiving externally posted banknotes and including a detector mechanism for checking the genuineness, quality and value of posted banknotes. The detector mechanism functions to sort false banknotes and banknotes of poor quality from remaining banknotes. A processor unit controls transportation of poor quality banknotes along a transport part to a unit for storing and packaging the banknotes, and the transportation of at least part of the remaining, genuine and accepted banknotes to a first storage unit for storing and packaging these banknotes in accordance with their denomination. An outfeed part enables banknotes ordered externally via a banknote ordering means to be dispensed from a second storage device. The processor unit controls the transportation of genuine and accepted banknotes primarily to the second storage device in the outfeed part and only secondarily to a first storage device in the infeed part.
