Abstract: A method for the inspection of a condition, in particular for the detection of defects, of a cannula (or injection needle) mounted on a syringe, which is located under a protective cap, and devices for carrying out such methods. A method includes measuring a magnetic field, in particular a magnetic field distribution, in the vicinity of the cannula. The presence of a ferromagnetic cannula causes a local change in the course of the magnetic field lines. This can be measured and used to determine whether the cannula, as desired, is arranged straight and coaxially to the syringe longitudinal axis, or whether it has a defect, such as being bent, kinked, compressed, broken/severed, oblique to the longitudinal axis of the syringe or eccentric to the longitudinal axis of the syringe.

Abstract: A method for embossing optically diffracting microstructures in a thin foil, such as used to pack at least one of the list comprising food, chocolate, chewing gum, gifts, jewellery, clothes, tobacco products, pharmaceutical products, the embossing being produced with an embossing rollers set-up comprising at least one cylindrical embossing roller and a cambered counter roller.

Abstract: The present application relates to a device for the mask projection of femtosecond or picosecond laser beams (2) onto a substrate surface, in which the laser beam (2) consisting of laser beam pulses is, at a location of the optical axis, formed to make laser beam pulses with an expanded laser beam cross section or laser beam pulses with a reduced laser beam cross section and said laser beam (2) has a homogeneous intensity distribution over the laser beam cross section. A stop (6) with a predetermined stop aperture geometry and a mask (7) with a predetermined mask aperture geometry are positioned in succession in the beam (2) path at the location.

Abstract: A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a business partner relationship and a business partner hierarchy business object.
