  • Publication number: 20190187079
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for analysis of a specimen in a microscope are provided. A first survey is performed that collects analytical data from a region of interest on the specimen surface using a first set of conditions. A second survey is performed that collects additional analytical data from selected parts of the region of interest on the specimen surface using a second set of conditions, different from the first set of conditions. The analytical data from the first survey is used to select the parts used for data collection in the second survey and to decide the order in which they are used.

  • Patent number: 9892574
    Abstract: A method of monitoring access authorizations by an access monitoring system by a first method, the data carriers or the mobile electronic devices, on which a valid access authorization or an ID is assigned, are detected and the carriers/devices current positions are determined by trilateration or multilateration. A second imaging method is executed, parallel to the first method, and the current position of all persons presented in the entry area is detected by cameras. All persons, with and without valid access authorization, in the entry area are detected so that an ID map and a people map are created. The ID map corresponds to people who have valid access authorization and the people map corresponds everybody in the entry area. An overlay map is created by matching the ID map with the people map, to identify persons with valid access authorization or ID and the people without valid access authorization.

  • Publication number: 20170306159
    Abstract: The invention relates to powder made of coated PVD metal effect pigment, highly concentrated suspensions of coated PVD metal effect pigment as well as the use thereof in powder lacquers and masterbatches. The powder according to the invention made of coated PVD metal effect pigments is characterized by a very good redispersibility and is outstandingly suitable in particular for the preparation of highly concentrated suspensions. Furthermore, it is very free flowing, substantially agglomerate-free and results in coatings with excellent metallic gloss.

  • Patent number: 9704689
    Abstract: A method is provided of reducing the thickness of a region of a target sample. Reference data is obtained that is representative of x-rays generated by a particle beam being directed upon part of a reference sample under a first set of beam conditions. Under a second set of beam conditions the particle beam is directed upon the region of the target sample. The resultant x-rays are monitored as monitored data. Output data are then calculated based upon the reference and the monitored data. Material is then removed from the region, so as to reduce its thickness, in accordance with the output data.

  • Patent number: 9454852
    Abstract: An electronic access authorization system maintains location-dependent and/or time-dependent validity data which can be read out wirelessly by an access control device (4), which data can be acquired online or, in the case of an accreditation, can be requested online as a special form of access authorization, and which can be transferred following successful issuance in electronic form to an electronic terminal (1) of a user. Changes, on the part of the issuer of the access authorization, to the validity data of the access authorization can be transferred via a data communication connection between a server (2) of the issuer of the access authorization and the electronic terminal (1) to the electronic access authorization stored in the electronic terminal (1) and displayed on a display device (5) of the electronic terminal.
