Abstract: The disclosure relates to a device for forming container groups with a predetermined container piece count from a continuous container stream in a transport area of a filling plant, comprising an infeed conveyor belt, an outfeed conveyor belt, a conveyor belt interposed between the infeed conveyor belt and the outfeed conveyor belt, and a drive station for introducing separating elements and forming container groups. Here, the speed of a separating element introduced into the region of the transport belt is controlled to no more than the first speed, in particular to a speed lower by no more than 2% than the first speed, as long as the following container group has not been fully moved onto the transport belt. The disclosure further relates to a method for forming container groups.

Abstract: The invention relates to a personal document that can be read contactlessly and which includes a laminate having a chip film and a chip, a substrate covering the chip film on the structure side of the chip and a covering layer covering the chip film on the rear side, the chip having an integrated circuit, said chip being thinned to the thickness defined herein. The personal document includes a polymeric carrier film that connects to the chip through a coupling reagent possessing functional groups compatible with functional groups of the semiconductor material of the chip and of the polymer carrier film layers of the chip film. Also, the chip is connected to an antenna provided on the substrate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a personal document in the form of a book, comprising a book cover, a multi-layered personalised side which contains personalised data, in addition to inner pages. The personalised side and the inner pages are secured by means of a seam to the book cover. The multi-layered personalizing side is provided with a central area which is made of a textile layer which is joined on both sides to a thermoplastic layer which covers the central area until the projecting end. A RFID element comprising an IC element is integrated into the central area for the contactless transfer of biometric data of the personal document owner. The personalised side is sewn by means of a seam in the region of the projecting end.

Abstract: The invention relates to a security or valuable document having at least first and second display devices (118; 128), a processor (102, 108) for driving the at least first and second display devices, an interface (112) for supplying power to the processor from an external power source (114, 136).

Abstract: The invention relates to a personal document comprising an integrated chip which can be read contactlessly and which comprises a laminate composed of a chip film, a substrate covering the chip film on the structure side of the chip and a covering layer covering the chip film on the rear side, wherein the chip film comprises a chip with integrated circuit, said chip being thinned to a thickness d?50 ?m, preferably d?30 ?m, particularly preferably d?20 ?m, and a polymeric carrier film, which, apart from contact connections, is applied both on the structure side and on the rear side of the chip.

Abstract: In state of the art baseband methods, the range in the access area decreases with increasing transmission speed. When a limit is reached with a predetermined distance and a selected speed, it is no longer possible to change over to an even greater speed. Otherwise, the synchronism between the transmitter and receiver is lost. The invention resolves this deficiency by combining the features of broadband technology with an acknowledged message exchange by means of which the parameters can be controlled between the transmitter and the receiver.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement for a frequency-dependent analysis of received signals which lie in a wide overall frequency band utilizes a filter bank which cooperates with an evaluation circuit. The filter bank has frequency-dependent band filters connected thereto and comprises an evaluation frequency range which exhibits only a few small band width in relation to the overall frequency band. The received signals are processed by means of a filter circuit having adjoining pass ranges, the signals being modulated by a number of frequency modulators into an evaluation frequency range and an addition of the individual heterodyning frequency values is performed.

Abstract: A three-dimensional air space surveillance radar in which the radar receiver is connected to a target tracking means which stores target data and does extrapolation of target data for target trace formations, including a panoramic antenna which illuminates the entire elevation range to be covered and has a reception lobe at the elevation level which can be electronically or mechanically controlled such that a line air space scanning occurs during the course of normally sequence scanning programs. The line-shaped beam of the antenna is briefly interrupted in the invention from the normal reception lobe elevation angle when the tracker determines that a target echo is expected from a different elevation angle than that being scanned.
