Abstract: A brake device for an elevator system with a travel body movable in an elevator shaft along a guide and/or brake rail brakes and retains the travel body on the rail as required. The brake device includes a control plate receiving a brake body and for positioning the brake body relative to the rail. The brake body has first and second brake elements pivoted about a common axis. The first brake element is for braking and retaining purposes when the travel body is moving along the rail in an upward direction, and the second brake element is for braking and retaining purposes when the travel body is moving along the rail in a downward direction.

Abstract: An RFID label comprises a resonant circuit consisting of a coil and a capacitor. The RFID label is provided with an additional element (13, 17, 20, 21) for regulating the resonance frequency of the resonant circuit. The additional element is applied to the surface of the RFID label after production of the same. The additional element can be especially a sticker with a conductive layer, which is stuck in such a way that it partially overlaps individual conductive surfaces of the label to produce an additional capacitance, or which is simply stuck into the coil to reduce the effective inductance of the coil. Alternatively, the element can be formed by a layer with a high relative permittivity which is applied between two conductive surfaces.

Abstract: The invention relates to self-adhesive addition-crosslinking silicone compositions which comprises (A) diorganopolysiloxanes, (B) organohydrogenpolysiloxanes containing less than 20 SiH bonded hydrogen atoms and less than 12% aryl groups, (C) organosilicon compounds having epoxy groups and hydrolyzable groups and (D) a hydrosilylation catalyst. The compositions are transparent to translucent, exhibit good compositional comparability, and cure to form strongly adhesive elastomers with good physical properties.

Abstract: Method and system for reading out and writing to RFID-transponders with inductive coupling including a read/write unit with a transmission frequency fs1 defined as a basic transmission frequency and a plurality of transponders operated at a resonance frequency fR. The resonance frequency fR is fixedly predetermined, then for operating conditions with a high distance range, the resonance frequency fR equal to the basic transmission frequency fs1 is selected. For operating conditions with a high recognition rate with a plurality of transponders located within a detection field, the basic transmission frequency fs1 is reduced to a fixed alternative value fs2 . This procedure guarantees reliable communication between the transponders and the read/write unit.

Abstract: An electronically detectable resonance label, in particular an RFID label, includes a substrate made of plastic foil and conductive surfaces on the front and rear of the substrate. Some of the conductive surfaces form a capacitor in a mutual area of overlap. The label includes a first capacitor plate on the front of the substrate and a second capacitor plate on the rear of the substrate. The capacitor plates are in the shape of elongated strips of uniform width along their entire length. The capacitor plates only partially overlap, and the area of overlap is arranged at a distance from both ends of at least one capacitor plate. This provides the advantage that during the production process relative displacement of the capacitor plates can take place in two directions.

Abstract: Polymers (A) containing oxazine groups are prepared by reacting a polymer (T) containing nitrile groups with a monoaminoalcohol in the presence of a catalyst by a process in which the polymer T is reacted in the melt with the monoaminoalcohol in the presence of the catalyst and in the absence of a solvent.

Abstract: A resonance label (1) comprises an insulating support layer (4) having two sides (2, 3). A first conductor is on one side (3) of the insulating supporting layer (4) and forms a capacitor plate (6b) and an induction coil (5) having a number of individual turns spaced apart from each other. A second conductor is on the other side (2) of the insulating supporting layer (4) and forms another capacitor plate (6a) so as to define a resonant circuit. At least one of the first and second conductors includes two adjacent conductor areas (6a, 7d) which are spaced apart at a distance (a) from each other closer to one another than the spacing between the individual turns of the induction coil (5). The distance (a) between the adjacent conductor areas (6a, 7d) defines a desired breakdown point (8) on the respective side (2) of the insulating support layer (4).

Abstract: The described device is part of a product theft prevention system and is used for deactivating resonance labels. It is intended for use in combination with a hand-held optoelectronic bar code reader (1), so as to permit the deactivation at the checkout of shops and stores of electronic resonance labels provided with a bar code and attached to products in a single operation and simultaneously with the determination of the bar-coded data. The deactivator has antennas (8, 9), which are located in a casing (11) fixable externally to the front end of the hand-held bar code reader (1) and which are constructed as ferrite antennas. As a result of the housing of the antennas (8, 9) and preferably all the high frequency-carrying parts (14, 15) of the deactivator in a separate casing (11), the deactivator can be used in combination with any random hand-held bar code reader, without any changes having to be made to the latter.
