  • Patent number: 11754439
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for photometrical charting of a reflectance standard (Z) illuminated by a license plate light (1). A camera (4) releasable by a control unit (5) is arranged and aligned relative to a holding device (3) configured for holding a reflectance standard (Z) in such a way, that a luminance density image (B1, B2) recorded by the camera (4) at least covers the reflective surface (Z.1) of a reflectance standard (Z) held by the holding device (3). A license plate light (1) is arranged in a positioning device (2) which is movable by the control unit (5). The positioning device (2) is controlled by the control unit (5) in such a way that the license plate light (1) arranged therein is traversed to at least one position (P1, P2), optionally to multiple positions (P1, P2) sequentially, relative to the reflectance standard (Z) arranged in the holding device (3) and held there. In each position (P1, P2), recording of at least one luminance density image (B1, B2) is triggered.

  • Patent number: 9221049
    Abstract: A device and a method for separating a supernatant of a liquid sample are proposed, in which an outlet is closed off by a water-soluble membrane that dissolves after a certain length of time so that the supernatant of the sample is automatically drained away after centrifugation. The water-soluble membrane may in principle may also be used for other purposes for temporarily retaining a liquid in a holding chamber.
