  • Publication number: 20220324058
    Abstract: A method is proposed for producing a packaging, having a method step of microperforation of a flexible material as a packaging film, comprising: provision of the flexible material as a packaging film, transport of the flexible material over a transport section, provision of a laser in order to generate a perforation of the flexible material with its beam. For a packaging with improved gas exchange, a laser system with a wavelength in the range of from 150 nm to 1064 nm, preferably from 355 nm to 532 nm, is used for the laser, and the perforation with the laser is carried out during the movement of the flexible material of the packaging film during the transport.

  • Publication number: 20220135306
    Abstract: The invention relates to a package for outgassing foods and/or maturing foods, in particular roasted coffee and/or coffee beans, comprising a bag for storing the food, which includes a film from which the bag is formed, wherein a valve is provided to enable a discharge of gas from the package bag to the outside in the event of overpressure in the package and to reduce the diffusion-related gas exchange in the case of comparable and/or equal pressure conditions in and/or outside the package bag. It is characterized in that the valve is formed as a microperforation in the film having at least one or two holes of the size of 750 ?m2 to 40 000 ?m2, preferably of 390 ?m2 to 20 000 ?m2, particularly preferably 70 ?m2 to 16 000 ?m2 and/or each having the diameter of 10-70 ?m, preferably 20-60 ?m, particularly preferably 30 ?m.

  • Patent number: 10415141
    Abstract: A process for producing a layer or a body built up of layers. A process gas which has a pressure of >10 bar is accelerated in a convergent-divergent nozzle and a coating material which is formed by particles and is composed of Mo, W, an Mo-based alloy or a W-based alloy is injected into the process gas. The particles are at least partly present as aggregates and/or agglomerates. It is possible to produce dense layers and components in this way. We also describe layers and components having a microstructure with cold-deformed grains having a high aspect ratio.

  • Publication number: 20120016824
    Abstract: A method for computer-assisted analyzing of a technical system is provided. The technical system is described by a case base including multiple cases, each case including a state vector with a number of attributes, the state vector referring to an operation state of the technical system, wherein a class from a number of classes is assigned to each case, each class referring to an operation condition of the technical system. Each case is processed by extracting a local information vector depending on the classes of one or more neighboring cases in the case base, the neighboring cases being similar to the case being processed according to a neighborhood measure. Subsequently, machine learning of a classification is performed based on the extracted local information vectors of the cases in the case base, resulting in a learned adaptation function providing a class depending on a local information vector extracted for a case.

  • Patent number: 8050877
    Abstract: A method for the determination of the electrical work in systems in which the voltage is switched. At preset times for this purpose current values are measured and interpolated between the measurement. With the help of the switched voltage a classification of each interpolated current path is performed. The interpolated current value is then multiplied or integrated by the voltage value/values between the preset times respectively for the determination of the work. Along with the electrical work moreover in accordance with a further method similarly the electrical power in such systems can be determined.
