A method for conducting PIN authorized EMV payments using an ordinary mobile phone. The credit card payment is conducted using a merchant's device comprising a card reader and a mobile phone a payment server and a buyer's mobile phone. A PIN entry request is sent from the merchant's device to the buyer's device via the payment server. A secure application in the buyer's device is executed and a PIN code may be entered securely. The entered PIN code is either verified, via the payment server, against the credit card in said merchant's device or against a bank server. Thus, secure credit card payments can be performed using an ordinary unsecure mobile device's.

A method and means for handling of laboratory animal drinking bottles (17) provided with nipples (17) in an automatic bottle wash-up line, wherein the nipples (16) of all the bottles (17), arranged in a basket, are removed from the bottles with the aid of compressed air in a nipple removal means (2) and are washed and dried together with the drinking bottles and are subsequently put back onto filled bottles in a nipple reassembly means (4), which operates with similar tools (6) as the nipple removal means (2).
摘要:
A low complexity apparatus (100) and method (200) for variable color saturation, performed in combination with RGB to YUV color space conversion, is used to direct input signal noise away from a luminance channel, to which the human eye is highly sensitive, and into chrominance channels. The apparatus (100) is adapted to perform color conversion and variable color saturation of input primary color signals red, green and blue to produce variable chrominance signals and luminance invariance. The apparatus includes a luminance composition module (105) dependent on non-varying luminance composition coefficients. A first chrominance composition module (110) is dependent on the non-varying luminance composition coefficients and includes a first variable saturation coefficient that is multiplied by the difference between low pass filtered red and green primary color signals. A second chrominance composition module (115) is also dependent on the non-varying luminance composition coefficients and includes a second variable saturation coefficient that is multiplied by the difference between low pass filtered blue and green primary color signals.
摘要:
The present invention helps to mitigate and reduce the amount of interfering signals (e.g. RF leakage) that enter the phase detector of a phase locked loop by acting as a less than perfect sampler. This is accomplished by introducing a time jitter to the signal edges that enter the phase detector input. A phase detector can also be made to act as a less than perfect sampler by intentionally introducing an interfering signal. For example, a small interfering analog signal can be introduced with a different frequency from the reference frequency already present in the PLL. The interfering signal will cause the stable internal signal to vary slightly in time at the rate of the interfering signal frequency. It is this signal variation and jitter introduced on the signal edges entering the phase detector input that induces the phase detector to act as a less than perfect sampler.

An output-power threshold is selected such that one or more signal requirements is not outside a pre-determined range when output power of a polar transmitter is less than the output-power threshold. A determination is made whether the output power is less than the threshold. In response to a determination that the output power is less than the threshold, amplitude modulation of a polar signal transmitted by the polar transmitter is disabled. When the output power meets or exceeds the output-power threshold, the polar signal transmitted by the polar transmitter is both amplitude and phase modulated.

A radio ASIC including a VCO (30) connected to both a homodyne receiver (60, 80, 90, 110, 120, 140, 150) for downconting the frequency of a received signal, when said radio ASIC is in a receiving mode (110, 120, A), and to a radio transmitter (70, 100, 110, 120) for transmitting another signal, when said radio ASIC is in a transmitting mode (110, 120, B). A divider (50) with a dividing factor of two is arranged between the VCO (30) and a mixer (80, 140) of the homodyne receiver in order to divide the signal from the VCO with a factor of two. The VCO is run on double GSM-RX-frequency implying that it covers both PCS-TX (radio ASIC in transmission mode) and GSM-RX (radio ASIC in receiving mode).

A heat exchanger plate, where the plate is provided with a heat transfer surface having a corrugated pattern with a plurality of ridges and valleys, and where the heat exchanger plate is provided with a plurality of guiding sections, and where each guiding section has a first guiding surface and a second guiding surface, where the first and second guiding surfaces are perpendicular to each other. A heat exchanger having a plurality of heat exchanger plates is also disclosed. The advantage of this heat exchanger plate is that it allows for an improved alignment of the heat exchanger plates.
摘要:
A method of generating a first oscillator signal having a desired frequency in a first frequency range comprises generating in a voltage controlled oscillator unit a second oscillator signal having a frequency in a second frequency range of at least one octave. The method further comprises selecting said second continuous frequency range to have a lower endpoint in said first frequency range and an upper endpoint above said range; and selectively using the oscillator signal unchanged or dividing it by a division ratio selected from integer powers of the number 2 to obtain said first oscillator signal. By centering the VCO higher than otherwise required and using an additional divider, so that the VCO signal can selectively be used unchanged or divided, a sufficient margin below as well as above the desired range for e.g. drift and tolerances of the VCO is achieved. It also simplifies the VCO design.
