Abstract: A spacer fabric has a first planar warp-knitted fabric layer, a second planar warp-knitted fabric layer, and spacer threads separating the warp-knitted fabric layers, wherein the first warp-knitted fabric layer is formed from at least a first and a second thread system and has stitch wales that run in the production direction, as well as stitch courses that run in the crosswise direction. The first thread system is formed as a pillar stitch construction, and the threads of the second thread system are guided, without forming loops, along the production direction, in an alternating sequence, offset and alternately over at least two adjacent stitch wales. The threads of the first thread-system have a greater fineness than the spacer threads.

Abstract: Computer-based methods and systems are provided for allocating landed costs. A planned landed cost of materials is calculated based on various planned landed costs. Landed costs are separated into an allocation document to generate a permanent record for cost allocation. When actual landed costs are received the allocation is applied based on different sets of accounting rules and one or more journal entries are generated and persisted based on application of the allocation document and the applied different sets of accounting rules.

Abstract: A belt conveyor comprises a belt with a drive roller, a deflection roller that can be adjusted relative thereto upwardly and/or downwardly, and an upper run extending therebetween for transporting the food products. The belt conveyor comprises a deflection element arranged between the drive roller and the deflection roller and configured for adjustment in the direction of transport. The upper and/or the associated lower run of the belt transitions from a first longitudinal section running in the direction of transport to a second longitudinal section tilted relative thereto when the deflection roller has been adjusted. The second longitudinal section can be quickly tilted and flexibly adapted to the dimensions of the food products and their transport distances inbetween.

Abstract: A warp-knitted textile composite has a spacer fabric that extends in a production direction and a transverse direction and has an outer flat warp-knitted fabric layer of predetermined stretchability, an inner flat warp-knitted fabric layer of lesser stretchability in the production and transverse directions than the outer layer, and spacer threads interconnecting the warp-knitted fabric layers. A decorative cover layer is attached to the outer flat warp-knitted fabric layer and is formed with compressed areas where the spacer fabric is permanently at least partially compressed for structuring the decorative cover layer.
