A control device (7) is designed to control the drive apparatus (6) in such a way that the latter moves the at least one door leaf (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d). A sensor device (8) comprises a first area scan camera (9a) which comprises an image sensor, the first area scan camera (9a) being designed to generate first image data from a detection area (11) within which the automatic door system (1) can be monitored. The control device (7) is designed to determine whether the at least one door leaf (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) can be moved safely by means of a detailed analysis based on at least a portion of the first image data from the first area scan camera (9a) and at least one additional piece of information (12).

Abstract: A releasable adhesive connection between two joint partners, which are materially bonded to one another by means of an adhesive, wherein the adhesive connection is releasable in a separating process by an introduction of heat. According to the disclosure, the introduction of heat is performed using a heated thermofluid. A first joint partner comprises at least one fluid chamber, which is filled at least in the separating process using the thermofluid and which indirectly or directly adjoins the adhesive with a chamber wall, so that in the separating process, the introduction of heat into the adhesive takes place by means of heat conduction from the thermofluid via the chamber wall into the adhesive.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for automated media filtering are disclosed. For example, some methods include receiving an indication of a situational difference via an automatic sensor, and based at least in part on the situational difference, a program played on a media player is modified. In some cases, the methods further include accessing a filter that compares the change in situational difference with a predefined access control rule set. As just some of many examples, the situational difference may include a change in persons within proximity of the media player and/or a change in programming selection in relation to the media player.

The particles can be individually joined to the carrier or they can form a compact wherein the particles are held together by active solder. The compact can be joined to the carrier by active solder or by a standard solder, such as common solder or eutectic solder. That surface of the carrier which is joined with particles of abrasive material can be provided with recesses for portions of abrasive particles which are joined to the carrier by active solder.
