Abstract: A system includes a dishwasher, an image capturing device designed to capture an image of washware arranged in the washing chamber, with the image including a plurality of sub-images, each of which having different spectral information of the washware. An illumination unit illuminates the washware in the washing chamber, and an image analysis unit receives the captured image from the image capturing device and to carry out a chemical analysis of soiling on the washware based on the plurality of sub-images of the received image and to ascertain a dirt characteristic of soiling as a result of the chemical analysis. A control device carries out a washing program for washing the washware in the washing chamber. The control device receives the dirt characteristic from the image analysis unit and adapts the washing program for washing the washware as a function of the received dirt characteristic.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a controller for executing a washing program for washing a dirty item to be washed, and a receiving unit for receiving a sensor signal indicative of a dirt type adhering to the dirty item to be washed from a plurality of dirt types, with each of the dirt types being determined by a dirt parameter matrix, in which each position is assigned to a dirt parameter. A determining unit determines the dirt type adhering to the dirty item to be washed as a function of the received sensor signal, with the controller executing the washing program as a function of the determined dirt type.

Abstract: In a method for operating a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, items to be washed arranged in an interior of the dishwasher are washed during a wash program. A quantity of a specific gas in the interior is determined during the wash program, and a hygiene program is started and/or a notification is outputted to a user of the dishwasher relating to a start of the hygiene program as a function of the determined quantity of the specific gas.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of measurement technology and concerns a method and an apparatus, such as may be used, by way of example, in thin-layer technology for organic dielectric semi-conducting or conducting layers on substrates. The object of the invention is to indicate a method and an apparatus with which both the surface topography of the coating and that of the surface may be determined independently of one another, at the same position. The object is achieved by a method wherein the three-dimensional topography of the coating is determined using chromatic white light measurement and, subsequently, the thickness of the coating is determined using UV interferometry, and the surface topography of the coated surface is determined by a comparison with the overall dimensions of the coated surface. The object is further achieved by an apparatus wherein an apparatus for chromatic white light measurement and an apparatus for UV interferometry are disposed on a test bench.
