Abstract: A device and method for determining a material parameter, in particular, for a plastic material or a process. A combination of input variables for a model is provided. The material parameter is determined as a function of the model. The model maps the combination of input variables to material parameters. The model is trained as a function of training data, which are defined by a plurality of combinations of input variables and their specific assignment to a setpoint material parameter. Either the model continues to be trained as a function of a result of a comparison of a material parameter determined by the model for one of the combinations from the training data, with the setpoint material parameter assigned to this combination in the training data, or a changed model is defined, and the changed model is trained.

Abstract: A fuel delivery system (1) and a corresponding production method for producing a fuel delivery system (1) are proposed. The fuel delivery system (1) has a fuel filter (3) which purifies a fuel (9) delivered from an accumulator pot (5) to an internal combustion engine (7). Furthermore, the fuel delivery system (1) has a suction jet pump (15) for filling the accumulator pot (5) with fuel (9) from a fuel tank (11). A drive line (17) connects the suction jet pump (15) to the fuel filter (3). In this case, there is provided on the drive line (17) a first pressure valve (19) which opens in the direction of the suction jet pump (15) when a pressure on the fuel filter side exceeds a first threshold value.

Abstract: Devices for conveying fuel are known having a conveying assembly and a pump holder holding the conveying assembly which has a receptacle for the conveying assembly and a holder connected to the receptacle via three damping elements. The damping elements damp the structure-born noise transmission from the conveying assembly to the adjacent components. The damping elements each have a cantilever section which projects starting from the receptacle into the region of the holder and runs in the radial direction and circumferential direction. The cantilever sections are designed as elastic spring arms, the axial deflection thereof in respect of a pump axis being able to exceed a maximum allowable value by means of external acceleration forces. The mechanical stresses occurring in the spring arms can lead to damage to the spring arms.

Here, the electrically conductive structure (11) is sprayed onto the first element (5) for example by means of a two-component method or by means of a plasma spraying method.

The filter element (5), the first end cap (7) and the second end cap (9) are designed to be electrically nonconductive. An electrically conductive conductor trace (11) is arranged on the filter element (5) in order to dissipate electric charge.

Abstract: Exemplary methods are directed to the linearization and characterization of an image producing device. In the method, a color test chart of the device is reproduced and measured based on a small number of color measurement fields with defined device color values. Associated color values are determined for each color measurement field and used to calculate linearization curves for the device. Additionally, by analysis of the device color values, the measured color values, and device behavior, an expanded color test chart with expanded device color values and associated expanded color values is calculated. The number of color measurement fields in the expanded color test chart is larger than the number of color measurement fields in the original color test chart. An ICC profile for the device is calculated from the expanded device color values and the expanded color values.

Abstract: A color management system using distributed profiles includes a color printer adapted to print controlled color using a custom profile. The color printer system creates a custom profile by reading its initial characterization data, the profiles of the inks and the profile of the paper used in the printer. The color printing system includes a spectral measurement module adapted to generate spectral measurement of an output of the color printer. The printing system computes its initial characterization data by using the output of the color printer, measured by the spectral measurement module. The printing system updates the paper profile, the ink profile and/or the printer characterization data based on the measurement of the spectral measurement module.

Abstract: For the linearization and characterization of an image producing device, especially a printer, a colour test chart is reproduced and measured according to colour with the device from a relatively small number of colour measurement fields with defined device colour values, whereby associated colour values are determined for each colour measurement field. On the basis of the device colour values and the measured colour values of the test chart, linearization curves are calculated for the device and additionally by analysis of the device colour values and the measured colour values and on the basis of information on the device behaviour derived therefrom an expanded colour test chart with expanded device colour values and associated expanded colour values is calculated, whereby the number of colour measurement fields in the expanded colour test chart is significantly larger than the number of the colour measurement fields in the original colour test chart.

Abstract: A digital color document is generated or processed on a first computer by way of a color management enabled graphics application, by using a monitor-profile. The digital data of the color document are packed together with the underlying monitor-profile into a digital container document and transmitted to a second computer. The container document is unpacked in the second computer, whereby the data of the color document and the underlying monitor-profile are recovered. The unpacked monitor-profile is compared with a local monitor-profile active in the second computer and the comparison outcome is displayed on the monitor of the second computer.

Abstract: A method for optimizing a digital document having special colors, the digital document serving as an original in a reproduction process, especially a printing process, the method includes storing data corresponding to special colors, with the goal of a true-color reproduction in the reproduction process; examining the digital document for the presence of special colors; and replacing any of the special colors present in the document by replacement colors with standard color definitions using the stored data. The definitions for the replacement colors can be manually input, selected from a color library, or determined by color measurement on a physical color reference.

A release sheet is removably disposed upon the adhesive layer so as to cover and protect the same until it is desired to remove the release sheet in order to expose the adhesive layer when the contamination-control mat assembly is to be affixed to the underlying floor support structure.

Abstract: To provide true color reproduction of documents created by way of a color management free application on an output device, especially a digital electronic projector (beamer), digital documents (D) are, on the output computer (RA) which controls the output device (B), transformed by way of a color management system into the color space of the output device. A program module (PM) is installed on the output computer (RA) in addition to the application software (A), which cooperates with the application software and can access the data of the documents (D) to be output. The program module (PM) includes a color transformation unit (CMM) which, by way of a monitor profile (MP) as source profile and an output device profile (BP) as target profile, transforms the documents (D) into the color space of the output device (B). The transformed documents (D?) are then output by the application software (A) to the output device (B) which reproduces them visually.
