  • Publication number: 20230397640
    Abstract: A method for producing a cream cheese-like, in particular vegan food product, in particular having a solidity in a value range between 0.2 N and 7.0 N measured at 10° C., and a corresponding food product, wherein the in particular cream cheese-like food product has a particle size distribution in a non-macerated state, with a particle size distribution, measured in distilled water, with an average particle diameter x50,3<100 ?m, preferably between 10 and 40 ?m, and with at least one peak, in particular a global maximum, at a particle diameter x3>10 ?m, and in that, in a partially macerated state obtained by mixing one part by weight of the food product with 9 parts by weight of an SDS-EDTA solution (0.25% SDS, 0.25% EDTA), the food product has a particle size distribution with at least one additional peak at a particle diameter x3<10 ?m in relation to the non-macerated state.

  • Publication number: 20160211395
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for laser-structuring thin layers on a substrate in order to produce monolithically connected thin-layer solar cells, having the following steps:—providing a laser with a laser wavelength,—providing a substrate (1) which comprises a first side and a second side and which is transparent for the laser wavelength, said first side of the substrate has big a metal rear electrode thin layer (2), on which an absorber thin layer (3) for thin layer solar cells is arranged,—emitting a laser beam (L) onto the substrate, and—moving the laser beam (L) over the substrate (1) along a writing line and/or moving the substrate (1) relative to the laser beam (L) along a writing line.

  • Patent number: 8214605
    Abstract: A method for reading out data from a storage medium which stores the data in such a way that they are distributed in sectors, each sector being assigned a sector identifier as a function of the datum respectively stored in the sector. The method includes the following steps: a) assigning a data identifier corresponding to the datum to be read out; b) grouping the data identifiers into at least one group; and c) carrying out a search algorithm in which the sector identifier in each sector is compared by sector and by group to the data identifiers contained in the group, and when one of the data identifiers corresponds to a sector identifier the particular datum is read out from the sector.
