Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing at least one drive belt, comprising a tubular shaping body having a first inner cavity which extends in the longitudinal direction of the shaping body over the entire or predominant length of the shaping body and is surrounded circumferentially by a wall of the shaping body, wherein the inner side of the wall of the shaping body facing the first inner cavity has a shaping surface for abutment and shaping of the drive belt to be produced during the manufacturing process. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing at least one such drive belt by means of such an apparatus.

Abstract: A method, device and computer program for detecting point correspondences in sets of points and in particular for fingerprint verification. Points of note on fingerprint lines in a scanned fingerprint are compared with corresponding points of note on fingerprint lines in a reference fingerprint and matching pairs are formed from possible corresponding points of note in the scanned fingerprint and the reference fingerprint. A maximum number of such matching pairs is found. This allows an efficient method to be specified, for fingerprint verification for example, that requires only a small amount of working memory and computing power.
