Abstract: A clamp device for carrying a communication device comprises a compartment and a clamp. The compartment has a flat surface. The clamp is pivotally connected to the compartment and has a pressing line for contacting a surface edge of the communication device to fix the communication device on the compartment.

Abstract: A method for producing molded parts (16), a water-soluble casting mold (6) being produced in a first step using a layering method, in particular using a powder bed-based layering method. In a second step, the surface of the casting mold (6) is sealed with the aid of a material (9; 10). A casting of the molded part (16) is then formed by filling the casting mold (6) with a free-flowing, hardenable material (13), in particular a hydraulically setting material. After the casting has solidified, the casting mold (6) is dissolved with the aid of an aqueous solution (18), in particular a heated aqueous solution (18). The present application furthermore relates to a material system for producing a water-soluble casting mold (6), comprising at least one water-soluble material for building a casting mold (6) in a layering method, as well as comprising at least one material (9; 10) for sealing the surface of the casting mold (6).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-stage method for producing one or multiple molded bodies, the method comprising the following steps: a) constructing one or multiple molded bodies in layers by repeatedly applying particulate material by the 3D printing method; b. a presolidification step for achieving a presolidification of the molded body; c. an unpacking step, wherein the unsolidified particulate material is separated from the presolidified molded body; d. a final solidification step, in which the molded body receives its final strength due to the action of thermal energy. The invention also relates to a device which may be used for this method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing an anonymized value for a data element stored with an original value in a database (11) of a database system (10), wherein the method comprises the following steps: (i) producing a supplementary data element for the data element stored in the database (11); (ii) determining the anonymized value of the data element from the original value on the basis of a mapping rule for ascertaining anonymized values that is stored in the database system (10), and storing the anonymized value in the supplementary data element; and (iii) linking the supplementary data element to the data element such that, based on the reception of an access command relating to the data element from a user connected to the database system, the supplementary data element is read and the anonymized value contained therein is transmitted to the user. In addition, the invention relates to a system that is suitable for performing the method and to a computer program.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing three-dimensional objects based on computer data by repeated application in layers of a medium containing particulate material and selective solidification of the medium, whereby a feedstock made of medium in a build space is provided and a layer application of the medium takes place on a surface of the feedstock bordering the build space at an angle ? and a solidification according to computer data occurs by use of a solidification unit, characterized in that the feedstock is not moved during build-up of the object.

Abstract: A method is described here for the layerwise construction of models, wherein, in a building region, a particulate material is applied layerwise and selectively cured. These steps are repeated until a desired model is obtained. The material comprises in this case a particulate building material and a spray-dried alkali metal silicate solution. Selective activation of the curing proceeds using a water-comprising solution.

Abstract: The instant invention relates to a method for changing characteristics of a plastic component, wherein a medium is introduced into the plastic component, which encompasses a porosity and wherein the medium forms a homogenous compound with the plastic component by at least partially dissolving the plastic component.

Abstract: Methods and systems in accordance with the present invention perform role analysis to assist organizations with the identification of emerging technical roles related to current and future business requirements. In one implementation, methods and systems in accordance with the present invention identify roles of an organization and map the identified roles to appropriate training so that personnel may efficiently develop skills needed to perform the identified roles. Since job roles vary worldwide with respect to responsibilities even within similar job titles, role analysis helps standardize the roles. While within a given job title there may be considerable variance, the various job roles hold in common certain technical “core tasks.” Role analysis methods and systems in accordance with the present invention evaluate and document the common core tasks that are needed to fulfill business requirements for an organization.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture of the present invention may involve a database for facilitating solution development or training. The database may comprise a scenario entity associated with at least one critical event, at least one of a work scope entity and a process entity associated with the scenario entity, and a core task entity associated with the at least one of the work scope entity and the process entity. The core task entity may correspond to at least one core task that facilitates solution development for the at least one critical event.
