Abstract: The blister pack for medicinal products comprises a bottom film in which blister pockets are formed, which are surrounded by webs of the bottom film. The blister pockets comprise a two-level shape with a first recess and second recess situated lower down. A lidding film is sealed to the webs of the bottom film and to a strip of active material, which is arranged in each blister pocket. The medicinal product is accommodated in the second recess, and the strip of active material is accommodated in the first recess. The first recess comprises, in a bottom area thereof, a peripheral rib, which extends around the second recess, or at least two projecting knobs, which are arranged next to the second recess, wherein the strip of active material rests on the rib or on the knobs.

Abstract: A method includes pulsating a magnetic field at a first location associated with an external surface of a wall containing magnetic material. The method also includes measuring at least one characteristic of the pulsating magnetic field at a second location associated with the external surface of the wall. The at least one characteristic changes based on corrosion on an internal surface the wall between the first and second locations. The magnetic field could be pulsated by applying an AC signal to a conductive coil or by vibrating a magnet. The method could also include analyzing the at least one measured characteristic to identify an amount of the corrosion and/or a change in the amount of the corrosion. Use of the internal surface the wall could be modified based on the amount or change of the corrosion.

Abstract: The method for producing blister packs for medicinal products comprises the steps of forming blister pockets in a bottom film, wherein each blister pocket has an at least two-level shape with a first recess and a second, lower recess, filling the second recesses of the blister pockets with the medicinal products, placing a strip of active material in the first recess of each blister pocket above the medicinal product, wherein the strip of active material rests on at least one support surface of the first recess next to the second recess, sealing a lidding film to webs of the bottom film arranged around the blister pockets and simultaneously to the strips of active material, thus forming a sealed blister web, and stamping out individual blister packs from the blister web.

Abstract: An energy harvesting system for transferring energy from an energy harvester (2) having an output impedance (Zi) to a DC-DC converter (10) includes a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) circuit (12) including a replica impedance (ZR) which is a multiple (N) of the output impedance. The MPPT circuit applies a voltage across the replica impedance that is equal to an output voltage (Vin) of the harvester to generate a feedback current (IZR) which is equal to an input current (Iin) received from the harvester, divided by the multiple (N), to provide maximum power point tracking between the harvester and the converter.

Abstract: A self-adhesive film label, in particular for reusable bottles, is proposed which can be readily detached in conventional washing equipment. This is achieved by means of a self-adhesive label with a stretched film layer, which shrinks back at elevated temperature in the washing device. Since the adhesive of the label loses its adhesive force at this temperature, the label is rapidly and readily detached, supported by the surrounding washing liquid of the washing device.
