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 freight request, a house shipment, a shipment request, a supplier freight invoice request, and/or a transportation booking request business object.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the alignment and location of a sample (7), such as pills or tablets, for carrying out a further method step, such as a hardness test, with the aid of two opposing jaws (2, 3, 21), which may be moved relative to each other, the movable compression jaw (2) of which displaces the sample (7) along a guide track on to the fixed counter-jaw (3, 21), in order to begin the further method step with the sample (7). The forward movement of the movable compressing jaw (2), along with the sample (7) towards the fixed counter-jaw (3, 21) is continuously interrupted, the compressing jaw (2) being drawn backwards and driven forwards, such that the sample oscillates about the rest position thereof and then the compressing jaw (2) continues the movement towards the counter-jaw (3, 21) until the sample (7) reaches said counter-jaw (21).

Abstract: A process for producing a composite article from at least one polar thermoplastic, in particular an engineering thermoplastic, and from at least one foamed or unfoamed polyurethane elastomer, where a molding is firstly molded from the thermoplastic, and some or all of this is provided with an adhesion promoter based on acrylic-resin lacquer or polyurethane-resin lacquer comprising solvents, and then a coating which may be in full-surface or strip form or at least one other molding made from the polyurethane elastomer is used for overmolding, and the thermoplastic material is thus bonded to the polyurethane material.

Abstract: An apparatus for determining a disintegration time of compressed pharmaceutical mold bodies includes a vessel filled with a liquid, a frame lowerable into the vessel filled with the liquid, a center column attached to the frame, a floor attached to the center column, wherein the floor contains a plurality of holes, a grid covering the holes from below, a test tube disposed upright and positioned in one of the holes, a disk having passing through holes and movably insertable into the test tube as a weight onto an individual pharmaceutical form body, wherein the passing through holes are running parallel to the direction of the center axis of the disk.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for conducting a hardness test on test specimens (7, 7′, 7″, 28, 28′), specially tablets. The direction in which the hardness test is conducted by pressing a pressure piston (3, 3′, 3″, 26, 26′) and a thrust bearing (4, 4′, 4″, 27, 27′) against each other, is actively adjusted to the preferred axis (12, 2′, 12″) of the test specimen (7, 7′, 7″, 28, 28′). This enables measurement errors to be avoided, specially in relation to asymmetrical test specimens, resulting from variations in the direction of testing (13, 13′). The position and orientation of the test specimen (7, 7′, 7″, 28, 28′) are detected by means of a position signaling device (10).

Abstract: A laser exposure apparatus utilizing a laser, beam divider, modulator, beam expander, beam combiner, polygonal mirror and also a scanner lens, path-folding mirror and a reference mask. The laser beam is divided in the beam divider into a writing beam and a reference beam, both of which are brought together by means of two path-folding mirrors and a beam combiner. The writing beam is then guided through an exposure slit onto a printing form by a path-folding mirror. One additional exposure device is disposed upstream and/or downstream of the exposure slot, and in the direction of conveyance of the printing form. Only one of the additional exposure devices is switched on during operation, so that either a preexposure or an afterexposure is accomplished in addition to the laser main exposure of the printing form.

Abstract: A preexposure device having a linear LED arrangement for preexposing printing forms over their full area. The linear LED arrangement comprises at least two rows of LED modules which are offset with respect to one another. Each module is made up of a plurality of light-emitting diodes. The linear LED arrangement is disposed within a housing which is closed off at the bottom by means of a light scattering plate.

Abstract: An aftertreatment apparatus and method for printing plates which have been imagewise exposed having an exposure station and a heating station which are arranged one behind the other in the direction of conveyance of the printing plates along a conveyance track. The exposure station contains a linear LED arrangement which in turn has at least two rows of LED modules which are offset with respect to one another. The LED modules are made up of a plurality of light-emitting diodes. The housing of the heating station is thermally insulated on three sides and is open at the bottom in the direction of a reflector table over which the printing plates are passed.
