  • Publication number: 20240092978
    Abstract: Spreadable granules as infill granules for grass and artificial turf fields are proposed, which granules have a polymer matrix with a percentage between 10% by mass and 100% by mass of at least one biodegradable polymer and at least one filler from the group of natural fillers, embedded in the polymer matrix with the at least one biodegradable polymer. The invention provides for the spreadable granules to have at least one filler from the group including comminuted fruit kernels. In addition, the invention relates to the use of such spreadable granules as infill granules for grass and artificial turf fields, as a spacer material for the storage of construction materials, such as, e.g., floor covering materials, and as grit for road maintenance in winter.

  • Patent number: 11017007
    Abstract: A method for allocating a memory location to a physical information carrier includes using an application executed on a portable processing unit; requesting the memory location on a server via a communication interface connected to the portable processing unit; allocating the memory location a unique identifier; allocating the unique identifier a pattern that is to be applied manually to a surface of the physical information carrier; applying the pattern by a user manually to the surface of the physical information carrier, whereby the memory location on the server is connected to the physical information carrier; if the pattern is captured while using a sensor of processing unit, downloading the allocation the memory location to the unique identifier from the server; and accessing the memory location via the portable processing unit by using the downloaded allocation.

  • Publication number: 20190050329
    Abstract: The invention on hand pertains to a method for allocating at least one digital memory location to a physical information carrier, wherein, using at least one application executed on a portable processing unit, the at least one memory location is requested on a server via a communication interface connected to the at least one portable processing unit, and wherein, via the server, the at least one memory location is allocated a unique identifier, and wherein the unique identifier is allocated at least one pattern (23) that is to be applied manually to a surface of the physical information carrier, and wherein the at least one pattern (23) is applied by a user manually to the surface of the physical information carrier, whereby the at least one memory location on the server is connected to the physical information carrier, and wherein, if the at least one pattern (23) is captured using at least one sensor of the at least one processing unit, the allocation of the at least one memory location is downloaded from

  • Patent number: 6435937
    Abstract: The toy figure has at least two force sensors. The total force applied to all the sensors by a person is measured by a force measuring device. One or more force measuring device output signals are sent to a data bus. Data bus signals are sent to a microcontroller. The microcontroller identifies a message group based on the maximum force signal received from the data bus and filters out data bus outputs that result from secondary force measuring device signals. The microcontroller sends a message group identification signal to the information storage device. The storage device broadcasts one of a plurality of messages from the message group.
