Abstract: A method of tempering a plate workpiece entails first fitting the plate workpiece with a shield between first and second shield parts each having a respective mask element so as to cover only an edge region of the workpiece while leaving a more central region of the workpiece exposed. The shield and workpiece are then put in an oven with the plate workpiece fitted between the first and second shield parts. The shield also comprises first and second seals on the first and second parts confronting each other and each displaceable on the respective part between a closely juxtaposed working position in which inner portions of the seals are spaced apart by a distance equal generally to a thickness of the plate workpiece and outer portions of the seal bear on each other and a starting position spaced more widely from and out of engagement with each other. The seals engage and clamp the workpiece in the working position.

At least one allocation unit is an aggregation unit that comprises multiple instances of the element. Certain disclosed techniques allow for a combination of types of allocation tasks, such as an allocation task that directly allocates one or more instances of an allocation unit to a task, or an allocation task that has subtasks of withdrawing one or more instances of an aggregation unit and then distributing element instances of the aggregation unit or units among a plurality of tasks. Another technique determines whether a multiple of a given aggregation unit can exactly satisfy multiple tasks of the plurality of tasks. Another aspect provides for splitting tasks into groups to allow for more efficient allocation.
