Abstract: In order to produce a plastic container (1,2) having a planar electronic element (15), a planar electronic element (15) is introduced into a recess (29) of an inner face of a mold. The mold comprises an outer mold part (10) and a mold core (11), which form a mold cavity (12). Molten plastic material is injected into the mold cavity (12). After the subsequent cooling of the plastic material, mold removal is carried out. The recess (29) is arranged on an inner face (26) of the outer mold part (10). The molten plastic material is injected into the mold cavity in such a way that the molten plastic material flows substantially parallel along a surface (25) of the planar electronic element (15) facing the mold cavity (12). The planar electronic element (15) is an RFID inlay, for example. The planar electronic element does not require a protective casing and can be sprayed directly.

Abstract: The component has a planar decorative element (5) which has at least one translucent region (6) and at least one non-translucent region (7). Lighting means (9) serve to illuminate the at least one translucent region (6). A light-filtering layer (10) is arranged between the decorative element (5) and the lighting means (9), said layer (10) being integrally attached to a rear side (8) of the decorative element (5) by injection moulding.

Abstract: The invention provides a gas detection method and a gas sensor which utilize an amount of change in the electrical characteristic of a gas sensitive thin film with respect to the adsorption amount of a gas to be detected. The gas sensitive thin film (7) having characteristic detection electrodes (5, 6) functioning as a sandwich electrode or a gap electrode is laid out on a crystal resonator (10), and change in the electrical characteristic of the gas sensitive thin film (7) with respect to the adsorption amount of the detection target gas is observed by simultaneously determining change in the oscillatory frequency of the crystal resonator (10) and the electrical characteristic of the gas sensitive thin film (7). Because the sensor is an integral type device, both changes in an adsorption mass and the electrical characteristic can be surely monitored.
