Abstract: The invention relates to a method for distinguishing, detecting and counting persons and/or objects in facilities and/or vehicles for conveying persons and/or goods, with the method steps: emitting radiation from a radiation source, deflecting the radiation with an element for deflecting the radiation, generating a light pattern in a detection region, detecting the radiation backscattered by persons and/or objects situated in the detection region in a radiation detector, and counting the persons and/or objects in a counting region, wherein the counting region is arranged in a region between 30 cm in front of and 30 cm behind an entrance to facilities and/or to the vehicle for conveying persons and/or objects. The invention also relates to a corresponding device for performing the method.

Abstract: A process for artificially ageing blocks, in particular concrete blocks, vitrified bricks and natural stones, provides that the blocks are applied to an underlying surface. Essentially freely movable distressing bodies are applied to the surface to be worked of the blocks. The blocks and the distressing bodies are brought into movement in relation to one another by a vibrating motion of the underlying surface in such a way that the distressing bodies act on the surface and the adjoining, exposed edges of the blocks.

Abstract: A process for the artificial aging of stones, particularly concrete blocks, clinker blocks and natural stones, provides for the stones to be applied to a support. Impact units that move essentially freely are applied to the surface of the stones that is to be processed. The stones and the impact units are set in motion in relation to each other by vibration of the support in such a way that the impact units act on the surface and the adjacent, exposed edges of the stones.
