Abstract: Techniques and solutions are provided for generating allocation tasks for a plurality of tasks requesting one or more instances of an element, the element being associated with a plurality of allocation units. At least one allocation unit is an aggregation unit that comprises multiple instances of the element. Certain disclosed techniques allow for a combination of types of allocation tasks, such as an allocation task that directly allocates one or more instances of an allocation unit to a task, or an allocation task that has subtasks of withdrawing one or more instances of an aggregation unit and then distributing element instances of the aggregation unit or units among a plurality of tasks. Another technique determines whether a multiple of a given aggregation unit can exactly satisfy multiple tasks of the plurality of tasks. Another aspect provides for splitting tasks into groups to allow for more efficient allocation.

The first interface can communicatively and operatively connect the print head to containers for print media. Further, the printing device can be portable.

Abstract: A method of tempering a plate workpiece entails first fitting the plate workpiece with a shield between first and second shield parts each having a respective mask element so as to cover only an edge region of the workpiece while leaving a more central region of the workpiece exposed. The shield and workpiece are then put in an oven with the plate workpiece fitted between the first and second shield parts. The shield also comprises first and second seals on the first and second parts confronting each other and each displaceable on the respective part between a closely juxtaposed working position in which inner portions of the seals are spaced apart by a distance equal generally to a thickness of the plate workpiece and outer portions of the seal bear on each other and a starting position spaced more widely from and out of engagement with each other. The seals engage and clamp the workpiece in the working position.

Abstract: A method for detecting contamination of a fluid in a fluid container includes providing a reference data set related to a reference composition of the fluid, generating a measured data set related to an actual composition of the fluid in the fluid container, a processing unit comparing the reference data set with the measured data set, and determining whether the fluid is contaminated based on the comparison.

Abstract: The invention relates to a feed system for a band-type or strip-type material, in particular a coating material for coating a narrow side, or an adhesive strip, and also relates to a coating device. A method is also provided.

Abstract: A shield covers a predetermined region of a plate workpiece during tempering of the plate workpiece in a furnace in which the shield and the workpiece are subjected to an austenitization temperature while the predetermined region of the plate is shielded by the shield against heat. The shield has at least one first shield part shaped to cover at least some of the predetermined region of the workpiece, at least one second shield part, and a fastener or the like securing the second part movably relative to or removable from the first part such that the first and second parts together achieve an optimum shape fully covering and shielding the predetermined region of the plate workpiece.

Abstract: In a device for separating solid particles from liquids and gases in flexible disposable plastic containers, a plurality of filter elements, consisting of flat, elongate support grids with filtrate drain channels and a covering, all-round closed filter medium, are connected to form a filter package and enclosed by a flexible plastic container. This disposable filter system is operated in a pressure vessel and can be compressed there by applying an external pressure in such a way that the residual volume of the suspension is considerably reduced. As a result of the stable design, backwashing of the filter elements is possible, which prevents the build-up of a dense layer of solid particles and can therefore lead to increased filtrate flow.
