Abstract: For improved durability during use in a microwave oven, and at the same time, good readability of a smart label, it is provided that a flat RFID inlay made up of an RFID chip and an antenna is applied to a metal shield that is made up of at least two mutually overlapping foil sections. A recess in the foil sections is enclosed by the antenna of the RFID inlay. When such a smart label with the metal shield is applied in advance to a microwave dish, and a shielding element that is impermeable to microwave radiation in the microwave oven is temporarily overlaid on the smart label from the opposite side, such a smart label can be used in the microwave oven without damage, but remains readable outside the microwave oven, and without the shielding element.

Abstract: In order to improve the noise suppression in a video image stream 3 of a medical image recording system, the video image stream including a sequence of frames, it is provided that an image processing unit 5 of the image recording system analyses the video image stream 3 continuously in real time and determines at least one variability between successive image pixels of the frames, for example of spatially adjacent image pixels of frames and/or of image pixels of a plurality of the frames corresponding to one another spatially and temporally, in order, on the basis of the variability determined, to set at least one parameter of a noise suppression subsequently applied to the video image stream 3. As a result, the noise suppression can be adapted continuously to a current recording situation.

Abstract: In certain aspects, a quasi-rigorous electromagnetic simulation, such as a domain decomposition-based simulation, is applied to an area of interest of a lithographic mask to produce an approximate prediction of the electromagnetic field from the area of interest. This is then applied as input to a machine learning model, which improves the electromagnetic field prediction from the quasi-rigorous simulation, thus yielding results which are closer to a fully-rigorous Maxwell simulation but without requiring the same computational load.

Abstract: A method for producing a portable data carrier by means of a continuous production method, in particular a roll-to-roll method, includes the step of processing at least one foil in the form of roll goods. The unrolled foil is coated with an adhesive at least partially on at least one side. Subsequently, the foil is scored along at least one fold edge on at least one side of the foil. The foil is then folded along the scored fold edge in exact register and bonded. For this purpose the foil is folded in the direction of the side that is coated with adhesive, wherein the side coated with adhesive is arranged on the opposite side of the foil which has at least one scored fold edge, along which the folding is effected. Finally, data carriers are punched out in exact register from the at least one folded and bonded foil.

Abstract: A leak detection method using a specimen filled with a test gas positioned in front of a suction opening. Air is suctioned along the entire surface of the specimen and takes up test gas in the case of a leak. The test gas is recognized by a test gas detector. According to the invention, full mobility of the specimen is ensured during the testing process so that the leak detection method can be carried out while the specimens are moving past the suction opening.

Abstract: An RFID antenna assembly is made by first adhering a continuous aluminum foil between 1 ?m and 20 ?m thick by an adhesive film to a front face of a mounting layer, then providing on a back face of the mounting layer a film of contact adhesive, and then releasably securing to the mounting-layer back face a backing strip. The foil and the mounting layer but not the backing strip are then punched through so as to punch out antennas from the foil and identical pieces from the mounting layer. Finally the foil and mounting layer are stripped from around the punched-out antennas on the backing strip to leave on the backing strip a row only of the punched-out antennas and the respective pieces of the mounting layer.
