Abstract: A process for producing an object made from plastic material with a mesh structure, wherein the mesh structure is deformed in at least one defined area, in such a manner that the original mesh structure of the area is eliminated and an essentially continuous structure and information can be introduced in this area.
Abstract: Submarine cables (10, 11) have armouring (18, 19) surrounding the cable core (12), which armouring protects the cable core (12) particularly from mechanical loads. The armouring (18) is designed so that it can withstand the mechanical stresses to which the submarine cable (10, 11) is subjected when laid at the greatest depths provided for. Such armouring (18) is overdimensioned in areas of lesser depths. The invention provides for a submarine cable (10, 11), and a method for the manufacture thereof, a corresponding number of armouring wires (25) used to form the armouring (18) being replaced as necessary by filler strands (31).

Abstract: Conveyer belts (10) are deflected many times along a conveying path of the objects to be conveyed. It has been shown that unpleasant squeaking noises are generated in the region of this deflection between the guide means (12) of the conveyer belt (10) and guide rollers or guide drums.
The invention is based on the knowledge that the squeaking noises are caused by the relatively high friction value of the material of the conveyer belt (10). The design according to the invention therefore proposes that at least the outer side of the guide means (12) of the conveyer belt (10) is provided with a coating (26) made from a material with a lower frictional value. As a result, it has been shown that undesirable squeaking noices can be effectively avoided.
