The invention further relates to a method for cleaning and/or caring for an automatic dishwasher using the cleaning agent portion. The invention also relates to the use of and/or a method using the cleaning agent portion for cleaning and/or caring for an automatic dishwasher.

Abstract: A detergent or cleaning agent, in particular a cleaning agent for hard surfaces, especially an automatic dishwasher detergent, having a water-soluble envelope with a continuously encircling sealing seam and two phases which are different from one another.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for coating eyeglass lenses, in particular for coating the edge of eyeglass lenses by means of a needle metering device or jet metering device, wherein the eyeglass lens and the metering device are moved relative to one another and at the same time a coating material is applied to the eyeglass lens, in particular to the edge thereof, from the metering device. The control data for controlling the movement of the eyeglass lens and/or of the metering device are determined before and/or during the application process on the basis of geometric data of the metering device and geometry data of the eyeglass lens surface to be coated, said geometry data of the eyeglass lens surface to be coated being measured or being drawn from a data store.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a spectacle lens, wherein an edge structure is produced on the spectacle lens. The invention is characterized in that expected light effects produced or at least influenced by the edge structure of the spectacle lens, in particular light reflections and/or light transmissions, are ascertained for the spectacle lens with the edge structure, and the ascertained light effects are reduced, in particular in terms of intensity and/or direction and/or color, by applying one or more layers onto the edge structure of the spectacle lens.

Abstract: A method of preparing individual spectacle lenses (L) in accordance with a prescription order comprises the steps of: (i) blocking, a provided lens blank (LR) as workpiece on a block piece provided from a plurality of block pieces (B) from a block piece store (BL), (ii) processing the blocked lens blank at least at a second surface so as to obtain a blocked, processed spectacle lens (L) as workpiece, and (iii) deblocking the processed spectacle lens from the block piece, wherein the workpiece, optionally in the blocked state, is transported between the steps (i) to (iii) in one of a plurality of provided transport boxes (T). In the method, the block pieces prior to the step (i) of blocking are stored in the transport boxes in the block piece store and, for the step (i) of blocking, are provided in the transport boxes from the block piece store.

Abstract: Cleaning agents, preferably dishwashing detergents, in particular the automatic dishwashing detergent, having at least one low-water, preferably substantially anhydrous gel-like phase which contains at least one water-soluble zinc salt, preferably zinc sulfate and/or zinc acetate, particularly preferably zinc acetate.

Abstract: Method for machining an optical surface of an optical lens, including: a lens blank providing step, during which a lens blank blocked on a lens blocker is provided; a clamping step, during which the lens blocker is clamped in a lens machining device; a tilting step, during which the lens blank and lens blocker are tilted relative to the rotation axis of the lens machining device; a surface position determining step, during which the position of the surface to be machined is determined based on the tilt angle of the lens blank and lens blocker relative to the rotation axis of the lens machining device; and a machining tool configuration step, during which the operational parameters of the lens machining tool are configured to manufacture the surface to be manufactured according to the determined surface position so the desired optical properties of the optical lens are respected.

Abstract: A cleaning agent, preferably a dishwashing detergent, in particular an automatic dishwashing detergent, having at least one low-water, preferably substantially water-free, gel phase, which contains at least one particular non-ionic surfactant, preferably in quantities from 0.1 to 15 wt. %, from 0.5 to 10 wt. %, in particular from 0.8 to 8.5 wt. %, particularly preferably from 1 to 7 wt. %, for example from 1.0 to 4.0 wt. %, based on the total weight of the gel phase.
