  • Publication number: 20240119870
    Abstract: A system includes a container and a security label. The container is divisible into a plurality of parts and has a container body and a removable container closure. The security label has a first label section and a second label section forming respective parts of a common material web and a severing element which is arranged between the first and second label section with respect to a longitudinal axis of the security label. The security label is applied to the container such that the first label section is attached to the container body and the second label section surrounds the container closure. The second label section is formed such that the security label is closed along an edge line above the container closure by gluing and/or welding such that the second label section encloses the removable container closure.

  • Publication number: 20240046059
    Abstract: An electronic labelling assembly for a multi-part container includes a sleeve-shaped supplementary element which includes a coupling structure and which is configured to be coupled with respect to a longitudinal axis of the supplementary element by the coupling structure to an outer surface of a primary closure of the container and to surround the primary closure. The labelling assembly further includes an RFID functional unit having an RFID chip and an antenna structure coupled thereto. The supplementary element and the RFID functional unit are formed in coordination with each other and coupled to each other so that the RFID functional unit is attachable to the primary closure of the container by the supplementary element.

  • Publication number: 20230298486
    Abstract: An adhesive label for a multi-part container having a threaded member and a container body includes a first, sheet-like label portion adapted to be attached to the threaded member of the container, and a second label portion adjacent the first label portion and adapted to be attached to the container body of the container. The second label portion has a comb-like structure with strip-shaped fixing elements such that the adhesive label couples the threaded member to the container body relative to a condition applied to the container and opposes movement of the threaded member relative to the container body.

  • Publication number: 20210383724
    Abstract: A security label for a multi-part container includes a first section for attachment to a first container part and a second section adapted to a second container part with respect to a state of the label in that it is applied to the container, so that the label is closed in on itself along an edge line at a free end of the second section facing away from the first section. The two sections form a respective mutually adjacent part of a common material web. The label further includes a severing element between the first and second sections relative to a label longitudinal axis, so that, when the container applied with the label is opened, the label can be cut in a predetermined manner by the severing element and the second section can be removed together with the second container part from the first section and the first container part.

  • Patent number: 7479249
    Abstract: In order to improve a method for the production of structural ceramics and/or functional ceramics consisting of silicon carbide ceramics, with which a porous precursor body is produced from a cellulose-containing material, the porous precursor body is converted into an open-pored carbon body by means of pyrolysis and the open-pored carbon body is converted into silicon-containing carbide ceramics, in particular, silicon carbide ceramics as a result of infiltration of silicon-containing materials, in such a manner that the structural ceramics and/or functional ceramics as well as the components produced therefrom can be produced with properties which are as reproducible as possible it is suggested that at least cellulose-containing powder be used as starting ingredient for the production of the precursor body.
