Abstract: A method and a system for monitoring a spatial area in a personnel interlock are provided. Image data are acquired which represent a plurality of depth images of the spatial area which have been acquired simultaneously and from different positions in the area of the personnel interlock, in each case by a respective 3D image sensor arranged at the corresponding position. For each of the depth images, an associated characteristic depth image value is calculated. A total image value is obtained by combining the characteristic depth image values of the various depth images in accordance with a predetermined monotonic combination rule. An estimation result for the probability that more than one person is present in the spatial area is then determined.

Abstract: The invention relates to a blower (99), in particular for an engine cooling blower in a motor vehicle, comprising a housing (10) having a cooling air guide device (200), wherein the housing (10) is designed for mounting a drive unit (102, 103) and the cooling air guide device (200) in the motor vehicle, and for guiding a cooling air flow (20, 30, 31, 32) to the drive unit (102, 103), wherein the cooling air guide device (200) is designed as one piece with the housing (10).

Abstract: A sample carrier (3) for thinning a sample (1) taken from e.g. a semiconductor wafer. The sample carrier comprises a rigid part (5), e.g. made of e.g. copper, with an outer boundary (6), and a supporting film (4), e.g. made of carbon, extending beyond the outer boundary. By placing the sample on the supporting film, the sample can be attached to the rigid structure using e.g. IBID. The supporting film aligns the samples when they are placed onto it. After attaching the sample to the rigid structure the sample can be thinned with e.g. an ion beam, during which thinning the supporting film is locally removed as well. The invention results in better alignment of the sample to the sample carrier, and also in more freedom how the sample is transported from the wafer to the sample carrier, e.g. with the help of an electrically charged glass needle (2). The latter eliminates the attaching/severing steps that are normally associated with the transport of a sample to a sample carrier.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor for measuring a magnetic field. The inventive sensor has a high level of measuring sensitivity compared to a Hall probe, comprising several electrically semiconductive layers. The layers are arranged in the form of a power diode connected in the reverse direction, consisting of an anodelayer, a cathode layer and an intrinsically conductive layer enclosed between the two. The anode layer is subdivided by insulation sections into several anode layer areas, these areas being insulated from each other. The cathode layer has an injector area on the areas opposite the insulation sections which is oppositely doped. An electron beam is formed between the injector area and the anode by applying an injection voltage to the injector area. The electron beam is distributed across the areas of the earthed anode layer areas in the form of uniform partial currents.
