Abstract: In order to avoid a decrease of cycle frequency of a packaging machine within a packaging line caused by a previous interruption of a slicer's on-slice operation, e.g. during its loading, special residual buffers for additional buffering of portions compared to normal operation may be released by a controller shortly before the interruption. For example, non-buffer positions for portions on buffer bands may be released, or portion positions on non-buffer bands may be released.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a spinnable composition (sC) by mixing at least one terephthalate polyester (A), at least one aliphatic-aromatic polyester (B), at least one oligomer (C) and optionally at least one additive (D). Moreover, the present invention relates to the spinnable composition (sC) obtained by this process, a process for the preparation of polyester fibers (PF) by extruding the spinnable composition (sC) through at least one spinneret, the polyester fibers (PF) obtained by this process, textile materials (T) comprising the polyester fibers (PF) a process for dying the textile materials (T), and the use of the oligomer (C) for the improvement of the rheology and/or the dyeability of a composition comprising at least one terephthalate polyester (A) and at least one aliphatic aromatic polyester (B).

Abstract: Techniques for creating an SiGe/Si electro-optomechanical quantum transducer, comprising an SiGe/Si optical ring resonator and capacitor, that can be associated with a qubit are presented. The optical resonator, comprising an SiGe optical waveguide and a strained silicon membrane, can be formed and disposed over a substrate. The strained silicon membrane can have a photoelastic coupling with the SiGe optical waveguide. A capacitor, comprising a superconducting material, can be formed in proximity to the optical resonator. The top plate of the capacitor can be associated with the strained silicon membrane. A recessed region can be formed in the back side of the substrate along a desired silicon plane, extending to form a hole in the top side of the substrate. A superconducting material can be applied along substrate surfaces defining the recessed region and hole. The superconducting material covering the hole can be the bottom plate of the capacitor.
