The method further includes an additive printing the electronic device on the printing support by forming a conductive structure embedded in a dielectric base material and at least one device terminal exposed on a surface of the electronic device, wherein the at least one supply terminal of the printing support is arranged to electrically contact the at least one device terminal. The method further includes applying electric signals from the at least one supply terminal to the at least on device terminal to measure an electric characteristic of the conductive structure during the process of additive printing of the electronic device.

Abstract: A structure comprises: a plurality of substructures and a vernier-based position marker. The plurality of substructures include a first substructure, a second substructure, and at least one electronic component. The second substructure is at least partially additively manufactured on the first substructure. The vernier-based position marker is configured to indicate a relative offset between the first substructure and the second substructure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a processing device for foil pouches, comprising a plurality of pouch receiving elements arranged side by side, each of them being configured to receive and transport one foil pouch, a plurality of pairs of oppositely disposed ramps arranged successively in the direction of transport, the pouch receiving elements being transported in a guided manner along said ramps when in operation, the distance of oppositely disposed ramps defining the width of the pouch receiving elements, and an adjusting element configured to automatically adjust the distance transversely to the direction of transport between oppositely disposed ramps.

Abstract: The present invention refers to an apparatus for the transfer of foil bags, the apparatus comprising a magazine system, a plurality of adjacently arranged bag receptacles for the simultaneous transportation of adjacently arranged foil bags, and comprising a plurality of clamps which are each configured for gripping a foil bag in a bag receptacle and for the suspended transportation of the foil bag, wherein the apparatus is configured such that during operation foil bags are transferred from the foil bag magazines to the bag receptacles and are gripped in the bag receptacles by the clamps and are transported in suspended fashion, and wherein the apparatus comprises height-adjustable bottom support elements which are configured and arranged such that they respectively support from below the bottom of a foil bag in a bag receptacle up to the position where the clamps grip the foil bag.

Abstract: The invention relates to a shaft system comprising a plurality of receiving shafts arranged in parallel side by side for receiving foil bags, wherein the receiving shafts are bordered by walls formed by exchangeable format parts, wherein as a result of the exchange of the format parts the width and/or contour of the receiving shafts and/or the shape of retaining elements of the format parts is variable.

Abstract: The present invention provides, in various embodiments, a batch feeder and a method for stocking and gravity conveying of piece goods made of flat material. A feeder pit comprises an upper opening for inputting the piece goods in batches, a lower opening for extraction of the piece goods, and at least two lateral pit delimitations, which are located opposite to one another, for guiding of the piece goods. As carrying structures for supporting the piece goods on one side, that are arranged on top of each other as floors and that protrude into the feeder pit, are formed on at least one of the pit delimitations, the piece goods can be retained alternatingly on the carrying structures in an easy way and advance respectively for each floor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a polymerizable composition and to a method for coating metal surfaces, in particular steel, galvanized and alloy-galvanized steel, and also aluminum and alloys thereof, as protection against corrosion. The polymerizable composition preferably contains less than 10% by weight of portions which are not incorporated in the cured coating. In a further aspect, the invention relates to the use of the claimed composition for coating workpieces consisting of the above-mentioned metals, particularly metal surfaces in blanking lines (coil coating). The present invention therefore also comprises the use of metal surfaces, coated according to the invention, for the production of “white goods” (household appliances), automobile bodies, electronic component housings, and for the building trade and the transport sector.
