Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for altering the characteristics of a three-dimensional article by means of electrons, including at least one electron accelerator for generating accelerated electrons and two electron exit windows, wherein the two electron exit windows are arranged opposite one another, wherein the two electron exit windows and at least one reflector delimit a process chamber in which the surface or surface layer of the article are bombarded with electrons, wherein an energy density distribution inside the process chamber can be detected at least over one spatial dimension by means of a sensor system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a covering material for biomass and a method for the production thereof, in which at least two components (A) and (B) are mixed and subsequently applied onto the biomass, wherein component (A) comprises an oil of animal or vegetable origin and an alginate and component (B) comprises an aqueous latex dispersion and/or a protein dissolved in water.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for altering the characteristics of a three-dimensional molded part by means of electrons, including at least one electron accelerator for generating accelerated electrons and two electron exit windows, wherein the two electron exit windows are arranged opposite one another, wherein the two electron exit windows and at least one reflector delimit a process chamber in which the surface or an edge layer of the molded part are bombarded with electrons, wherein an energy density distribution inside the process chamber can be detected at least over one spatial dimension by means of a sensor system.

Abstract: Color dichroic polarizer includes a glass substrate, a surface layer, and non-spherical metal particles arranged in the surface layer and being deposited in an oriented arrangement. Wherein, in at least one lateral region of the glass substrate, the surface layer comprises a double layer whose two partial layers contain metal particles with different average axis ratios, whereby the two partial layers have different absorption spectra. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: In order to produce full-color dichroic polarizers, it is necessary to produce absorption bands with several absorption maxima. The absorption bands produced until now always had a simple band form which was determined by the form of the non-spherical particles deposited in the polarization layer.
