Detailed Description

Class to generate unique ids, valid to be used in a DICOM environment.

the created UIDs have the following form: 'iso_root_uid'.'systemtype'.'mac of the system'.'software type'.'process id'.'timestamp+counter' the form of the first part of the UIDs were decided together with Sebastian Meyer several years ago.

the uids are unique even in a multi-threaded environment the mac of the system has to be unique of course
