  • Patent number: 10060784
    Abstract: A balance with a load changing device (14) that has a magazine table, mounted to be horizontally movable and having a plurality of vertical openings (26) arranged in groups. The balance (12) has a load cell (34) and a load receptor (42) with a carrier arrangement (44) corresponding to each of the groups of openings. The magazine table and the balance are height adjustable relative to each other. In a weighing position, a group of openings above the load receptor is penetrated by the carrier arrangement. In a changing position, the carrier arrangement is positioned lower than the openings in the magazine table. The magazine table is mounted at a fixed height relative to a base (16), and the balance is height adjustable relative to the base.

    Abstract: Print data generated in a page description language can be processed using a processor. The processing can include checking whether conditions specified in trigger information are satisfied for at least one page of the document and/or for the entire document. Based on the checking, an action associated with the trigger information can be executed that changes the print data. The print data supplied as input print data can be output as output print data after the execution of the action. For example, images, text, barcodes, and/or graphics may be inserted via in the action. Finishing options may also be added, or fonts may be changed.

  • Patent number: 10058859
    Abstract: A pipette device having a pipette unit (1), a positioning unit (4), a micro-dosing unit (5) and a control device (6). The micro-dosing unit (5) is implemented separately from the pipette unit (1). However, it can be coupled to the pipette unit (1) in a precisely defined relative position. The pipette unit (1) thus has a coupling device (10) and the micro-dosing unit (5) has a corresponding counter-coupling device (11). One of the two devices can be switched. By switching the coupling device (10) and/or the counter-coupling device (11), the micro-dosing unit (5) can be coupled to the pipette unit (1) or decoupled from the pipette unit (1) as desired. If the micro-dosing unit (5) is coupled to the pipette unit (1), it can be moved to different operating positions together with the pipette unit (1).
