Abstract: A passive illumination device for use with at least one light source unit of an image receiver, in particular of a code reading device and/or code verification device, has at least one diffuser unit which is configured for converting light provided by the light source unit into at least substantially diffuse illumination light for an illumination of at least one illumination region and which comprises at least one diffuser element with at least one diffusion shell for a scattering of the light.

Abstract: A rotor of a gas turbine having two adjacent rotor discs, on each of which moving blades are fastened, an annular rotor component being arranged between the rotor discs and having at its opposite ends circumferential annular grooves, in each of which a circumferential fastening projection on the respective rotor disc engages. When the rotor is stationary a first outer flank of the first annular groove rests under pressure against a first outer flank of the first fastening projection and there is play between a first inner flank of the first annular groove and a first inner flank of the first fastening projection.

Abstract: A connection between a first, supporting structural member, such as a header, and a second, supported structural member such as a beam is provided, wherein the connection is made with a connector and fastenings, the use of which can be substantially hidden from view. The connector is designed to be inserted in a slotted opening in the second, structural member and to attach to a surface of the first, supporting structural member.

Abstract: The invention relates to a jaw grip mount equipped with theft protection for smartphones or tablets comprising: a body which forms a support surface for the smartphone or tablet; two jaws designed to grip the smartphone or tablet at two opposite edge regions and to receive the edge region in an interlocking manner, at least one jaw movable between an open position and a variable locking position and can be locked in the locking position; and a release button for unlocking the lock on the moving jaw in the closed position thereof. The invention further provides at least one actuating mechanism which can be moved between a plurality of defined and marked positions and which includes a key element which can interact only in a specific position with a complementary key element of the release button so that it is only possible to actuate the release button in this position.

Abstract: A method for identifying objects, in particular substrates, in particular wafers, includes: a prioritization process for generating a prioritized list of identification strategies including at least one identification strategy in at least one prioritization step; and an identification process for capturing at least one image of at least one object in at least one image capturing step according to at least one highest priority identification strategy of the prioritized list and processing said image in at least one image processing step according to the highest priority identification strategy of the prioritized list.

Abstract: A ventilation-mounted holder for attachment on a ventilation lamella assembly in vehicles for mounting electronic devices or other articles includes a carrier body onto which a holding bracket for engagement over a ventilation lamella is arranged on the backside, and a holding device for a smartphone or a tablet is arranged on the front side. The carrier body is configured as an elongated carrier arm. The holding bracket and at least one further holding bracket are each arranged rotatably and spaced apart from one another on an end region of the carrier arm, and the holding device is arranged on the opposite end region of the carrier arm.

Abstract: A selfie mirror for smartphones includes a combination of a mirror and a ferromagnetic metal plate arranged therebelow and connected to the mirror, as well as means for fixing the arrangement comprised of the mirror and the ferromagnetic metal plate to a smartphone or a smartphone case. The mirror and the metal plate may be mechanically connected to each other by means of an adhesive foil or adhesive layer arranged therebetween, or they may be mechanically held together and/or enclosed by a frame surrounding them around their periphery.

Abstract: A holding device for smartphones or similar devices is adjustable between a flat collapsed resting position and an extended operating position and comprises a device-side end part connected or connectable to the device, and an outer end part. A resilient construction element connects both end parts and holds the outer end part spaced apart from the device-side end part in the operating position. In the resting position, the resilient construction element is flat compressed and the outer end part is lockable on the device-side end part. The outer end part is configured as a gripping piece. The resilient construction element can be configured as a helically coiled compression spring or tension spring or as a body of resilient foam or as a mechanical variable length element.

Abstract: A re-cutting device for wiper blades has a guide slot (2) conformed to the cross-sectional profile of the wiper blade (W) and having guide rails (2a) that engage with lateral grooves of the base of the wiper blade. A cutting blade (9) for re-cutting the wiper blade edge is arranged in an angled transverse position on a cutting block (7) that is displaceable in the transverse direction between at least two positions in a housing (1), wherein, in the at least two positions, the distance between the guide rails (2a) and the blade region of the cutting blade (9) respectively located in the guide slot region is of different size.
