Abstract:
A system, method, and computer-readable storage medium for outsourcing telecom billing are disclosed for issuing one or more first billing statements and one or more second billing statements from a first telecom network; and transmitting at least the one or more first billing statements to a second telecom network. The one or more first billing statements may reflect one or more charges from the first telecom network to the second telecom network, and the one or more second billing statements may reflect one or more charges from the second telecom network to one or more customers thereof. The one or more charges of the first and second billing statements may reflect the same service(s).

Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to the field of analysis, for example biological analysis. More specifically, the present invention relates to an analysis device (10, 40, 501, 60) designed to be associated with a container (22, 50, 70) containing a sample (28) to be analyzed, said device comprising essentially: a first impervious membrane (12, 42, 52, 62); a second impervious membrane (14, 44, 54, 64) superposed on the first membrane (12, 42, 52, 62); said first and second membranes being fixedly attached over at least a part of their surface, defining a peripheral zone, in order to define an interstitial space forming an internal reaction cavity (16, 46, 56, 66), with no means of fluid communication with the outside of said analysis device (10, 40, 501, 60); at least one analysis means (18, 47, 57, 67), placed inside said internal reaction cavity (16, 46, 56, 66), designed to be placed in contact with the sample (28); at least one means designed to create a way for the sample to enter said internal reaction cavity. The present invention also relates to a container (22, 50, 70) comprising such an analysis device.The present invention also relates to a method of analyzing a sample contained in a container, in which an analysis device according to the invention is used.
Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to the field of analysis for example biological analysis. More specifically, the present invention relates to a process of detecting at least one microorganism present in a sample placed in a closed container, said method comprising essentially the following steps: a) Place said sample in contact in the container with at least one culture medium and a support capable of capturing the microorganism(s) to be detected, b) Close the container, c) Place the container under conditions capable of allowing the growth of the microorganism(s), d) Detect, inside said closed container, using detection means, the presence of the microorganism(s) fixed onto the capture support.
