Abstract: Provided is a data carrier comprising a card body, wherein the card body is configured to interact with impinging electromagnetic radiation (R) such, that a laser marking (M1) having a first appearance (A1) is generated in the card body in the region of impingement. The data carrier further comprises at least one protection element that is configured to interact with impinging electromagnetic radiation (R) such, that a laser marking (M2) having a second appearance (A2) is generated in the card body, wherein said second appearance (A2) differs from the first appearance (A1).

Abstract: A flexible, scalable, and fast query system for a distributed execution environment is provided. An example method includes receiving a plurality of processor summaries, each including a list of job digests, each job digest including a job identifier for a job running on a job processor and a payload portion. The method can also include, for each job digest, determining a location in a probabilistic payload data structure for the job digest and storing the payload portion and a fingerprint portion generated from a portion of a hash of the job identifier in an entry at the location as a job summary and responding to queries using the probabilistic payload data structure. Responding to a particular query may include identifying job properties corresponding to parameters of the particular query, updating job property statistics, and using the job property statistics to change the job properties represented in the payload portion.

Abstract: An adhesive system, having an adhesion promoter composition, containing at least one mercaptosilane, at least one polysilane, at least one transition metal complex having substantially only monodentate ligands, and at least one non-alcoholic solvent, and an adhesive, wherein the adhesive, within an hour after application and storage at 23° C. and 50% relative air humidity, has a tensile shear strength of at least 3 MPa, as measured according to ISO 4587, and/or, within an hour after application and storage at 23° C. and 50% relative air humidity, has at least 50%, preferably at least 60%, of the tensile shear strength achievable after application and storage for 7 days at 23° C. and 50% relative air humidity, as measured according to ISO 4587. An adhesion promoter system has a liquid container having a manually actuable output apparatus, and an adhesion promoter composition, as disclosed above.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an adhesive system, comprising an adhesion promoter composition, containing at least one mercaptosilane, at least one polysilane, at least one transition metal complex comprising substantially only monodentate ligands, and at least one nonalcoholic solvent, and an adhesive, wherein the adhesive, within an hour after application and storage at 23° C. and 50% relative air humidity, has a tensile shear strength of at least 3 MPa, as measured according to ISO 4587, and/or, within an hour after application and storage at 23° C. and 50% relative air humidity, has at least 50%, preferably at least 60%, of the tensile shear strength achievable after application and storage for 7 days at 23° C. and 50% relative air humidity, as measured according to ISO 4587. The adhesive system according to the invention is suited, for example, for bonding glass panes in transport means and also builds up strength very quickly at low temperatures.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a multilayer data carrier comprising a first layer which is made of plastic and has an upper face on which an opaque layer partially covering said upper face, for example a metal layer, is arranged. The data carrier has a second layer made of plastic which is disposed on the first layer and is transparent at least in a sub-region of the metal layer. The metal layer is partially removed by a laser to such an extent that the metal layer has at least one break. The metal layer is preferably laminated between the first and the second plastic layers.

Abstract: The booklet comprises a number of sheets between a cover, and each sheet has a front side and a rear side. At least one data page is provided that is joined to the cover in a fixed manner. The data page comprises a flexible layer and this flexible layer projects with an area out of a data carrier. On this area, the data page is joined to the cover and to the remaining sheets. The flexible layer is flatly joined to at least one other layer, for example, by welding or bonding and is thus inseparably bound without a mechanical joining part.

Abstract: In order to produce a data carrier, a substrate is printed with a printing ink and personalized by means of a laser. The printing ink is laser-active and is converted at least in regions during the personalization in such a way that, for example, a silver-grade pigment is formed which is readily visible only when the substrate is inclined. In particular, the printing ink has a comparatively small proportion of carbon black that is converted by the laser essentially without disturbing combustion and overall formation.

Abstract: The data sheet comprises a plate (2) which is or can be personalized on at least one side. The plate (2) can be bound into the ID with a strip-shaped flexible connecting element (3). By means of a connection (5), the connecting element (3) is firmly connected to one edge (4) of the plate (2). The strip-shaped connecting element (3) has at least one weakened material portion (6) which makes it more difficult to detach the plate (2) from the connecting element (3) without damage. The weakened material portion (6) is, for example, an incision or a score in the connecting element (3). The invention increases the security against forgery of IDs which have such a data sheet (1).
