Abstract: A method for conveying sheets, which have been printed in a printing machine, through a sheet delivery system above a sheet deposit pile by a sheet conveying device and, at the same time, dusting the sheets with a powder, and preventing uncontrolled spread of excess powder, includes interrupting a powder-laden air flow extending in a direction towards the printing machine along an empty strand of the sheet conveying device in a housing of the sheet delivery system at least at one interruption location between a free end of the sheet delivery system and the printing machine, so that transport of entrained powder in a direction towards the printing machine is prevented; a prevention device for performing the method; a sheet delivery system including the prevention device; and a sheet-fed printing machine in combination with the sheet delivery system.

Abstract: An interferometric arrangement device is used for determining the transit time distribution of light in the sample branch of an interferometer in which the light returning from the reference branch and the sample branch is superimposed, and by means of the intensity distribution of the superimposed light, a transit time distribution of the light in the sample branch is determined. Evaluation takes place by means of the spatial intensity distribution of the superimposed light. The sample and reference light is guided from the sample location to the evaluating device in a common fibre.
