Abstract: A filter medium is provided with a first layer as a support layer and a second layer as a filtration layer arranged downstream of the first layer. The first layer and the second layer both are provided with at least one active agent that is at least antibacterial. The active agent can be applied as a coating or as an impregnation. Examples of active agents are pyrithione, a metal salt of pyrithione, a pyrithione derivative, a metal salt of a pyrithione derivative, and a quaternary ammonium salt. A filter element is provided with such a filter medium in the form of a filter media pack. The filter medium and filter element can be used in a water injection system for internal combustion engines.

Abstract: BUS system, method of operating a BUS system, and fluidic system with a BUS system, the BUS system comprising a multitude of users. Information regarding an allocation feature is transmitted to the users of the BUS system by other users of a group of users of the BUS system and by the respective users themselves.

Abstract: A liquid filter for water separation and/or particle filtration of a fuel and/or aqueous solution, in particular a urea solution, and/or water, in particular in a motor vehicle, is described. The liquid filter has at least one filter and/or coalescer medium that is made of a non-woven fabric that has fibers and/or threads having elementary silver.

Abstract: A measuring device for measuring optical properties of transparent substrates includes a light transmitter and/or light receiver comprising a hollow cylinder having a highly reflective and diffusely dispersive inner surface. The light transmitter comprises a light source arranged in its interior and a light exit opening at a distance from the light source. The light receiver has a light sensor instead of the light source, at a distance from a light entrance opening. The light source and light sensor are arranged at such a distance from the light exit opening and light entrance opening respectively, given a corresponding direction of propagation of the light, that light emitted by the light source or received by the light sensor and multiply reflected in the hollow cylinder emerges as diffuse light from the light exit opening or is incident on the light sensor.

Abstract: A method and installation for precision imaging of the geometry of workpieces provides relative movement of a CCD detector (13) and the object workpiece (4) in a guided motion. In the process, the CCD detector (13) images the workpiece (4) segment by segment, and the positions of the CCD detector (13) relative to the workpiece (4) and the positions of the imaged workpiece segments are determined. Prior to functional motion of the CCD detector relative to the workpiece (4) to determine its geometry, a rectilinearity and/or angularity calibration is/are performed and, if necessary, a correction value is defined. In at least one subsequent functional motion of the installation, the correction value is factored in for the determination of the positions of the imaged workpiece segments.
