Abstract: A computing system may include a digital material collaboration engine configured to construct a digital material that is partially-defined based on input from a requestor entity of a digital material collaboration platform. The digital material may be for the manufacture of a physical product and may be partially-defined to include a physical material or product requirements for the physical product, but does not define process parameters of a manufacturing process to manufacture the physical product. The digital material collaboration engine may further be configured to receive, from provider entities of the digital material collaboration platform, proposed versions for the digital material that specify process parameters for the manufacturing process, and connect the requestor entity with a selected provider entity of the provider entities of the digital material collaboration platform based on a particular proposed version for the digital material provided by the selected provider entity.

Abstract: Various embodiments may include a measuring device for three-dimensionally sensing elongate cut-outs comprising: an assembly for positioning and fixing on an elongate cut-out of a body; and a 3-D measuring head connectable to the assembly to be aligned with the elongate cut-out for the respective 3-D surface measurement of the elongate cut-out.

Abstract: Various embodiments include a structure for positioning a tool on an elongated recess of a workpiece, wherein the elongated recess extends along a first longitudinal axis and has end surfaces on two end faces. The structure may include a plate having a cutout extending along an axis; a centering device; and a clamping device fixedly connected to the plate and the centering device. The cutout, when the second longitudinal axis is aligned parallel to the first longitudinal axis, enframes the elongated recess. The centering device includes a centering jaw movable within the cutout along the second longitudinal axis and also movable into and out of the elongated recess. The clamping device, on the side of the plate facing the elongated recess, includes clamping jaws movable along the second longitudinal axis to come into mechanical contact with one of the end surfaces of the end faces of the elongated recess.

Abstract: Various embodiments may include a measuring apparatus for the 3D measurement of an object having a recess by means of triangulation comprising: a single capture device; and an optical device placed between the single capture device and the object. The optical device generates a plurality of separate optical paths which divide a single original field of view of the capture device into a plurality of sub-fields of view. The single capture device captures the sub-fields of view separately.

Abstract: An arrangement for attenuated total reflectance (ATR) infrared spectroscopy uses a reflection matrix for location-resolved spectroscopy of aqueous and/or powdery samples with a high signal-to-noise ratio and without previous complex preparation of the samples. The method of using the reflection matrix produces imaging of the sample with a high signal strength.

Abstract: Electrically conductive structures produced on or in a substrate, or produced such that the structures are floating in a substrate undergo simple and reliable capacitive contactless and non-destructive inspection using a capacitive sensor having at least two sensor electrode surfaces which are arranged at different constant distances from one another parallel to a surface of the substrate and are arranged beside one another relative to the surface of the substrate.
