Abstract: Disclosed are a method and device for sealing insulated glass blanks, wherein the insulated glass blank is moved substantially continuously through a sealing station. When sections of the edge joint of the insulated glass blank that are oriented transverse or oblique to the conveying direction are filled with sealing mass exiting from a filling nozzle, the filling nozzle is likewise moved in the conveying direction. When sealing mass is introduced from the filling nozzle into sections of the insulated glass blank that are parallel to the conveying direction, the filling nozzle is not moved in the conveying direction or is moved in the conveying direction at a velocity V2 deviating from the velocity V1 at which the insulated glass blank is moved.

The modulation symbols are detected based on at least a part of the received retransmission and information from the at least one previous transmission. At least in some embodiments, a detection rate is thus improved.
