Abstract: To automate a sub-process during the production of a component, which is to be equipped with coils, of an electric machine, a wire end shaping device is used, which is equipped with coils, of an electric machine, for shaping wire ends which protrude from an annular housing of the component, comprising a bending device for bending wire ends in a circumferential direction, a relative movement device for moving the housing and the bending device in a relative manner in an axial direction, and a controller. The receiving and rotating units, which receive the wire ends, of the bending device are held to be axially static relative to one another, wherein differences in length compensation and/or in a turning angle of the wire ends are handled by means of different movement profiles of the rotational movements of the receiving and rotating units.

Abstract: A method is for visualizing an image data set, the image data set displaying a three-dimensional arrangement including at least a first object and a second object. The method includes providing a three dimensional image data set including first voxels assigned to the first object and second voxels assigned to the second object; identifying first voxels of the three-dimensional image data set; determining a set of parameters for volume rendering, the set of parameters determined including a subset of parameters and a focusing parameter; identifying primary rays impacting on the first object and identifying secondary rays missing the first object; and performing the volume rendering using the subset of parameters determined, for visualizing the first object and the second object. The focusing parameter used for the primary rays in the volume rendering is different from the focusing parameter used for the secondary rays in the volume rendering.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing wall elements for buildings, cross laminated timber panels of a specific width and length stocks in a store, and the panels are sawed up transversely to the longitudinal direction to obtain cross laminated timber panels of the same width and smaller length. A plurality of panels are placed onto a conveying track transversely to the direction of running, and indeed such that the panels are flush at the top and bottom and the side edges of consecutive panels contact one another. The panels on the conveying track are connected along the contacting longitudinal sides to form a cross laminated timber apron. The apron is sawed up transversely to the direction of running of the conveying track to obtain cross laminated timber boards of a defined width.

Abstract: A module for use in the erection of buildings in modular construction has a parallelepiped-shaped basic design and has outer walls, a floor, and a ceiling, with the supporting components of some, and preferably all, of the outer walls being cross laminated timber boards. The module includes a useful area and at least two separate vertical ducts, with both vertical ducts running through the module from bottom to top and each being included between at least one outer wall and at least one duct wall.

Abstract: Microorganism of the genus Eubacterium, and its obtainment and use, which is suitable in pure culture, DSM 11798, and/or mixed culture with the strain Enterococcus casseliflavus, DSM 11799, or in mixed culture with other anaerobic microorganisms for the detoxification of trichothecenes. A feedstuff additive for the inactivation of trichothecenes in feedstuffs or in the digestive tract of animals contains a pure and/or mixed culture of the microorganism (DSM 11798 or DSM 11799) or a mixed culture with other anaerobic microorganisms in an amount from 0.2 to 3 kg, in particular 0.5 to 2.5 kg, per 1000 kg of feedstuff. The feedstuff additive containing DSM 11798 achieves probiotic effect on an animal and maintains or improves fertility performance of an animal subject to fusariotoxin-contaminated feed.

Abstract: In a feed additive and/or drinking water additive for domestic animals, which contains at least bacteria of the strain Streptococcus faecium IMB 52 (DSM 3530), it is provided that standardized cell wall components from Bacillus sp. and/or Streptoccocus sp. and/or Bifidobacterium sp. as well as inulin are additionally contained.

Abstract: A method for adjusting the registry of a mask in relation to a substrate in a projection printing photolithographic device characterized by after obtaining the adjustment of the registry, correcting the focus of the objective of the device so that the desired surface of the substrate lies in a plane of focus of the objective. The adjusting of the focus is accomplished by displacing the objective or imaging lenses in a direction vertical to the plane of the mask and the surface of the substrate in such a manner that there results an optimum focusing of the light utilized during the adjustment process of the mask to the surface of the substrate.

Abstract: In a method for the automatic adjustment of semiconductor wafers, adjustment marks are arranged on the surface of the wafer to be adjusted. Light is emitted through a transparent body with an attached mask. The transparent body and mask are displaced so that adjustment patterns on the mask are aligned with respect to the wafer adjustment patterns. A shutter below the mask ensures that only light beams which pass through the adjustment patterns of the mask hit the surface of the semiconductor wafer. Light beams passing through the adjustment patterns of the mask are directed onto the surface of the semiconductor wafer by an objective. The wafer reflects the light back through the objective, shutter apertures and adjustment patterns. The reflected back beams of light are detected by light sensitive elements and the orientation of the mask and transparent body is arranged such that minimum reflected light is received at the light sensitive elements.
