Abstract: A child-resistant yet senior-friendly packaging for tablets, capsules or similar pharmaceutical products. The packaging is a blister pack (12) with at least one cup (24) that receives tablets in an external package (10), arranged between a base part (14) and an intermediate part (16), and that is closed by a cover film (26) that can be pressed through. The intermediate part (16) is covered by a cover part (18). A first adhesive (30) is arranged between the base part (14) or the blister pack (12) and the intermediate part (16). A second adhesive (32) is arranged between the intermediate part (16) and the cover part (18). The second adhesive (32), in the closed state of the external package (10), has a lower adhesiveness vis-à-vis the first adhesive (30) and, once the cover part (18) is released from the intermediate part (16), a higher adhesiveness vis-à-vis the first adhesive (30).

Abstract: A method for producing a strip-shaped object of any thickness, width and length, made up of stacked, partially glued together foil strips. According to said method, each of the foil strips is provided with adhesive strips applied across the width (u) of the foil strip on one side, and the adhesive strips are offset from each other on foil strips that directly follow each other. The foil strips are stacked to produce a foil strip stack, pressed against each other in the stacking direction and glued together in order to produce the strip-shaped object. In the process, a line of foil which is provided with adhesive strips crosswise to its longitudinal direction (x) is divided into at least two lines of foil strips of equal width in its longitudinal direction (u).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for shaping an initial profile (16a) or a similar workpiece, which comprises a profile space, into a final profile by using an internal high pressure that is generated in the sealed profile space by a flowable active medium. In order to shape the initial profile (16a) comprising at least one corner area (28n), preferably at least two corner area (28n), wall sections (34) which connect in the corner area (28n) are preshaped such that their cross-sections are curved counter to the direction of pressure, and are subsequently straightened by the internal high pressure of the flowable active medium while displacing the corner area (28n) in a direction of pressure.

Abstract: Lids, for example lids for machine-lidding of e.g. beakers, dishes, menu dishes, goblets, small packages etc., containing a substrate material featuring, with respect to a container on which the lids are used, a smooth outward facing surface bearing printing. On the inward facing side of the lid is a sealing layer deposited by extrusion laminate coating. The sealing layer exhibits on the free surface embossing with a depth of roughness of up to 50 &mgr;m. The embossing is transferred to the sealing layer in the form of a roughness pattern on the cooling roll on depositing the laminate coating of the substrate material and extruded sealing layer. The free side of the substrate material is smooth and exhibits no embossing. Printing on the free surface is therefore of higher quality. The extruded sealing layer on the substrate material exhibits embossing on the free side. If the lids are drawn from a stack of lids, for example in a filling machine, the embossing allows them to be separated individually.

Abstract: A reflector, with high total reflection, resisting mechanical stress, and having a reflector body on which the following components are superimposed (a) a functional coating, e.g., a varnish, (b) a reflection layer structure composed of a reflecting metallic layer and, optionally, one or more transparent ceramic layers, having for instance an optical depth of &lgr;/2, applied on the top of the metallic layer. The reflection layer structure is a protection layer as a surface layer. The protection layer is a silicon oxide of general formula SiOx where x is a number from 1.1 to 2.0, or is an aluminum oxide of formula Al2O3, with a thickness of 3nm or more. The protection layer protects the underlying layers from mechanical stresses. In the DIN 58196 wipe test, the protected layer shows no damage after 50 test cycles, each with 100 wiping strokes.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a strip of aluminium or an aluminium alloy for electrolytically roughened lithographic printing plates, in which the alloy is continuously cast as a strip and then rolled to final thickness, is such that the cast strip is rolled to final thickness with a thickness reduction of at least 90% without any further heating. The resultant microstructure in the region close to the surface of the strip leads to improved electrolytic etching behaviour.
