Abstract: Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a closed-loop and open-loop control device without integrated facility or with reduced integrated facility for operating and/or monitoring. The device may include: an attachment apparatus for attaching an external operating device; and a communication connection to receive user input from an input unit of the external operating device. The communication connection is used to provide information to an output unit of the external operating device.

Abstract: A method for producing a data carrier which has a built-in element. A recess for receiving the built-in element and a collecting groove for receiving displaced filling material are formed in a core layer. An excess of filling material is specifically provided in the free spaces remaining between the wall of the recess and the built-in element and on the surface. With a covering film interposed, the filling material is then rolled or spread out over the surface by means of a doctor blade.

Abstract: A method for producing a portable card-shaped data carrier with a high embossing. The method comprises the steps of supplying a planar circuit carrier, integrating the circuit carrier in a card-shaped data carrier body of the data carrier and high embossing the data carrier body. At least one surface area of the circuit carrier and at least one through opening is produced and the data carrier body is high embossed in an embossing area overlapping with the at least one surface area of the circuit carrier. In this fashion an easy high embossing of a corresponding data carrier is rendered possible.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a portable card-shaped data carrier (10) with a high embossing (65). It comprises the steps of supplying a planar circuit carrier (30), integrating the circuit carrier (30) in a card-shaped data carrier body (20) of the data carrier (10) and high embossing the data carrier body (20). Therein in at least one surface area (40) of the circuit carrier (30) at least one through opening (52; 54; 56) is produced and the data carrier body (20) is high embossed in an embossing area (60) overlapping with the at least one surface area (40) of the circuit carrier (30). In this fashion an easy high embossing of a corresponding data carrier (10) is rendered possible.

Abstract: A method for either or both initializing and personalizing a portable data carrier having an electronic circuit, a data transmission device and a switching device. The method is characterized in that either or both before the initialization and personalization is carried out a bridging of the switching device is formed and after either or both the initialization and personalization has been carried out the bridging is eliminated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for initializing and/or personalizing a portable data carrier (1) having an electronic circuit (3), a data transmission device (4) and a switching device (5). The method according to the invention is characterized in that before the initialization and/or personalization is carried out a bridging of the switching device (5) is formed and after the initialization and/or personalization has been carried out the bridging is eliminated.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for preventing formation of inhibitors to blood coagulation factor VIII or factor IX in a subject having haemophilia, the method comprising administering (via intravenous, subcutaneous, intradermal, or intramuscular routes) to a previously untreated subject an effective dosage of factor VIIa or a factor VII-related polypeptide.
