Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for the manufacture of sporting goods, in particular shoes, comprising the steps of providing a plurality of components in one of a plurality of predefined shapes, and placing the plurality of components onto a two-dimensional or three-dimensional carrier surface to create the sporting good or a part thereof.

Abstract: A control unit has a substrate with an electrically conductive structure, an integrated circuit device, which is installed on the substrate in an electrically conductive manner, and a sacrificial structure on the substrate. The sacrificial structure is configured to be irreversibly destroyed if the integrated circuit device is removed from the substrate. The electrically conductive structure has at least one conducting track applied to the substrate. The sacrificial structure is formed by a segment of the conducting track. An electrically insulating connecting layer that connects the integrated circuit device, the substrate, and the segment of the conducting track is formed. The sacrificial structure can be destroyed by the connecting layer when the integrated circuit device is removed.

Abstract: To the end of three-dimensionally localizing light emitting marker entities of unknown orientation and unknown position in a sample, the light emitted by each single marker entity is imaged in at least two different ways onto at least one detection plane which corresponds to a focal plane (13) in the sample resulting in at least two images of the marker entity. Virtual x- and y-positions of the marker entity in parallel to the focal plane (13) are separately determined from the emitted light intensity distribution over each image of the marker entity. Further, the z-position of the marker entity normal to the focal plane is determined from the emitted light intensity distributions over the images of the marker entity. The real x- and y-positions of the marker entity in parallel to the focal plane (13) are determined based on its virtual x- and y-positions and on its z-position.

Abstract: An identification device for mounting on the antenna of a transport vehicle. The device is tubular and resilient, and has a central cavity for receiving the antenna. A series of spaced apart external grooves selectively accept a tie constricting the tubular device about the antenna. The device has hook and loop material attached thereto, and a corresponding patch of hook and loop material. The corresponding patch is mounted to the vehicle, for temporary stowage of the identification device when not in use. The identification device has one or more distinctive bright colors, for being conspicuous at a distance. The device is preferably employed when parking a vehicle amidst many similar vehicles, thereby enabling an owner or operator to identify the vehicle.
