Abstract: A safety contact strip for a closing edge includes an inner shell facing the closing edge and being formed by a coextrudate of a first electrically insulating plastic. An outer shell spaced apart from the inner shell is formed by a coextrudate of a second electrically insulating plastic. Switching chambers respectively retained by at least one web between the inner and outer shells are formed with the outer shell. Two switching layers spaced apart from one another are formed in each switching chamber by a coextrudate of a third electrically conductive plastic. An electrical conductor is embedded in each of the switching layers as a further coextrudate.

Abstract: A co-extruded safety contact strip includes at least one contact or switching chamber situated in a section or profile and containing contactor or switching strips. One end of the base of the section is pivotally connected to a first side part and the other end of the base can be form-lockingly locked onto a second side piece. A method for securing the safety contact strip is also provided.

Abstract: Measurement methods are known for determining the concentration of an ingredient in a body of ceramic or glassy material, in which the optical path length or the signal propagation time of a measurement wave penetrating the body of ceramic or glassy material in a measurement direction is determined and evaluated. Starting therefrom, in order to indicate a non-destructive method for determining a concentration of an ingredient in a body of ceramic or glassy material, which is also suitable for measurement in the production process of the body concerned, it is suggested according to one embodiment that modulated gigahertz radiation is used as the measurement wave.
