Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for configuring an analytics computing system to perform an automated task. The computing system may receive from a first user computing device associated with a first user, a request to create a first automated task. The computing system may send a first authorization request to a first assignee user computing device associated with the first assignee user and receive a first reply message indicating that the first assignee user authorizes use of the credential of the first assignee user for the first automated task. The computing system may configure the first automated task to execute using the credential of the first assignee user upon occurrence of the first start condition for the first automated task.

Abstract: A process for preparing a glass container that includes: providing a glass tube with a first portion, a second portion, and a longitudinal axis (Ltube); holding the first portion in a first clamping chuck and the second portion in a second clamping chuck; rotating the glass tube around the longitudinal axis (Ltube); heating, via a heater, the glass tube above a glass transition temperature; separating the first and second portions from one another by pulling apart along the longitudinal axis (Ltube) while the heated glass tube is still rotating by moving the first and the second chucks away from each other; and moving the heater, while moving the first and second chucks away from each other, so that the heater follows a mass that remains at a circular end region of the first and/or second portion.

Abstract: A glass container is provided that includes a tube, a circular bottom, and a longitudinal axis. A curved glass heel extends from an outer end the bottom to the first end of the tube. The two-dimensional distance h(x,y) between a contact plane and the outer surface. The two-dimensional distance is measured in a direction parallel to the axis. The slope magnitude of the outer surface at the given position x,y is given by ?{square root over ((dh/dx)2+(dh/dy)2)}. The 75% quantile of values that have been determined for the term ?{square root over ((dh/dx)2+(dh/dy)2)}×d1/h(xy)delta for all given positions x,y within a circular area having a radius of 0.4×d2/2 and that correspond to the centre is less than 4100 ?m/mm. The adjacent positions x,y increase stepwise by 200 ?m, and h(x,y)delta=h(x,y)max?h(x,y)min, h(x,y)max is a maximum value for h(x,y) and h(x,y)min is a minimum value for h(x,y) being determined in that circular area.

Abstract: A method and device for the continuous heat treatment of pharmaceutical glass containers are provided. The method includes continuously conveying glass containers from an entry region to an exit region via a conveying installation having a separating plate made from an electrically conductive material, the separating plate being positioned above and/or below the conveying installation; heating the glass containers to a maximum temperature in a heating zone after passing the entry region; cooling the glass containers in a first cooling zone after passing the heating zone and before passing the exit region at a first cooling rate, wherein the separating plate separates the glass containers from heating installations in the heating zone and/or temperature changing installations in the first cooling zone; and controlling the heating installations and/or the temperature changing installations to inductively heat the separating plate in the heating zone and/or the first cooling zone.

Abstract: A glass container is provided that includes a tube, a circular bottom, and a longitudinal axis. A curved glass heel extends from an outer end the bottom to the first end of the tube. The outer surface has a topography defined by a function ?(x) that is an azimuthal average of a distance between a contact plane and the outer surface at any given position located on a circle having the centre and the radius |x|. The values ? for ?(x) are determined for a plurality of circles the radius of which increases stepwise by 500 ?m starting with a circle around the centre having a radius of 500 ?m. The values ? are determined in a range from x=?0.4×d2/2 to x=+0.4×d2/2, d2 having a size such that at least 4 values ? are determined and can be fitted with a curvature function h ^ ? ( x ) = - c × x 2 1 + 1 - c 2 × x 2 + h 0 .
