Abstract: A calibration method serves for calibrating a manufacturing device for additively producing a three-dimensional object by applying layer by layer and selectively solidifying a building material. The manufacturing device comprises at least two scanning units, each of which is capable of directing a beam to different target points in the working plane, which are located within a scanning region assigned to the respective scanning unit, wherein the scanning regions region of the at least two scanning units overlap in an overlap area. At least a first of the at least two scanning units is assigned a first monitoring unit whose monitoring region extends to a target point of the first scanning unit and its proximity, wherein a change of a position of the monitoring region is carried out as a function of a change of a position of the target point.

Abstract: A groups service implementing a group reporting tool can provide a user interface on a user device. The user interface can include a group settings or group configuration page. A user can select, through the group settings page, a metadata field for group mapping. Responsive to the selection of the metadata field, the groups service can start a group sync process which fetches a usage history from a usage database. The groups service can determine, based on the metadata field and the usage history, properties of end users of an enterprise accessing a software product integrated with the an identity and access management (IAM) system and generate groups based on the properties of the end users of the enterprise accessing the software product integrated with the IAM system. A group listing page or group reporting page containing the groups can then be generated for presentation on the user device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the composition comprising a neonicotinoid insecticide selected from: imidacloprid, clothianidin and thiamethoxam and a metabolic herbicide safener. The composition is of particular use in the treatment of plant propagation material (preferably seeds) and improves the growing characteristics of a plant and/or prevents from unwanted plant damage caused by herbicides.

Abstract: The apparatus according to the invention for controlling a probe which has a sheathing of an endoscopy device, serves for eliminating difficulties in regard to co-ordination between the doctor operating the endoscopy device and the assistant who is operating the probe. At its one end, the probe has a movable medical instrument (10) while at its other end it has an operating member (8). For the purposes of controlling the probe, the apparatus is provided with a receiving means (5) for the probe sheathing (6), an actuating element (9), a drive unit for controlling the probe function and foot switches (23a, 23b) for controlling the control function. For the specific situation of an injection probe the apparatus has a further functional unit with suitable drive and fixing means (34, 35 and 12 respectively) for pressing out a medical hypodermic syringe (11,12) which is connected to the injection probe.
