Abstract: A system for generating computer programs includes physical carriers of information that have a rectangular contrasting marker associated with an element of the computer program and a description text and/or a graphical symbol. The carriers may form the computer program when they are sequentially arranged along a first axis and at least one carrier may receive another carrier of information on its right side, along a second axis. The system also includes image capturing device for capturing a digital image of an arrangement of the carriers forming the computer program. A computer device has a display screen and is configured to process the image; recognize the carriers on the image; determine the arrangement of the carriers with respect to each other; superimpose on the image a graphical icon above the marker of each recognized carrier; output the combined digital image and convert the determined arrangement to the computer program.

Abstract: The invention concerns a valve, in particular a regulating or shut-off valve, for liquid or gaseous media having a valve housing (12), which has at least one through hole (14), having a valve seat (17), which is closed by a valve closing component (31), having a drive (35) that is connected to the valve housing (12), which has at least one control element (39) made of a shape memory alloy for controlling the opening and closing motion of the valve closing component (31), and operates the valve closing component (31) to open or close the through hole (14), and the control element (39) is formed of at least one wire element is at least partly encompassed by a protective cover (45).
