Abstract: A writing, drawing, marking and/or painting utensil or cosmetics implement or input device for contact-sensitive surfaces, wherein the utensil/implement/device includes at least one shank element made of plastics material or a plastics-containing wood substitute. The at least one shank element has a surface, or in that the at least one shank element has a surface which is sheathed in a material layer having a cover surface. The surface of the shank element or the cover surface of the material layer is in the form of a haptic and/or non-slip layer. The haptic and/or non-slip layer has a structure formed in one piece with the shank element and/or the material layer. The structure is formed by corrugation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a waveguide arrangement (10) comprising a substrate (20) and at least one strip-shaped waveguide made of a wave-guiding layer material (30). The strip waveguide extends strip-like in a longitudinal direction and can guide waves in its longitudinal direction so that the wave propagation direction corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the strip waveguide. The refractive index of the substrate (20) is greater than the refractive index of the layer material (30). In order to guide waves vertically, the strip waveguide forms a waveguide bridge (60) which is located above a recess (100) in the substrate (20) and which is at least partially spatially separated from the substrate (20) there.

Abstract: A pencil that includes a polymer-bonded lead, a polymerbonded wood substitute material that includes an organic filler and covers or surrounds the lead along its length, and an adhesion promoter layer disposed between the lead and the wood substitute material. The lead and the wood substitute material each have a polymer. The polymer in the lead being incompatible with the polymer in the wood substitute material so that the polymer of the lead and the polymer of the wood substitute material do not create any connection with one another. The adhesion promoter layer is connected to the polymer in the lead and to the polymer in the wood substitute material so that the adhesion promoter layer forms a connection with the polymer in the lead and with the polymer of the substitute material. The organic filler is formed by particles having a maximum particle size of 250 ?m.
