  • Patent number: 9914251
    Abstract: A method for producing a plastic board with an upper side 1, an underside 2 and at least one edge surface 3 by an injection-molding technique, and also a corresponding plastic board are provided. In the method, a first half 6, which forms at least the upper side of the plastic board, and a second half 7, which forms at least the underside of the plastic board, are injection-molded. Then, the first half and the second half are joined together in order to form a plastic board with an upper side and an underside. The two halves being formed in such a way that at least one cavity forms between the halves when they are joined together. The two halves are fixed onto one another, preferably by molding on a connecting component 5 of plastic.

  • Patent number: 9135790
    Abstract: The invention relates to a handheld device (1) for determining the location of a physical object (21) stored in a storage container (31). A reader system reads on the storage container (31) a visual code (31.1) which comprises a unique container identifier (31.2). A data entry system is configured to store object data (21.2) identifying the physical object (21) in a data store (1.4) linked to the container identifier (31.2). The data entry system is further configured to capture query data which defines the physical object (21). A query module is configured to determine the container identifier (31.2) by comparing the query data to the object data (21.2) in the data store (1.4), and to indicate the location of the physical object (21) by showing on a display the container identifier (31.2) of the storage container (31) containing the physical object (21).
