Abstract: A method for assigning a generic property of a graphical element of an operating program or a field device to at least one property of a corporate identity, CI property. The operating program can be used in particular for field devices and other measuring devices, e.g. for level measurement, topology determination and/or for other purposes. The method has the following steps: creating at least one graphical element of the operating program, the graphical element having at least one generic property; and calling the operating program, wherein the at least one generic property of the graphical element is assigned to a CI property.

Abstract: A method for producing a pane of a household appliance or a viewing window of an oven is provided. The method includes the steps of: providing a substrate; applying a sol-gel layer to the substrate; embossing a haptically perceptible pattern using an embossing tool in the sol-gel layer; and curing the sol-gel layer. A pane of a household appliance or piece of furniture is also provided that includes a glass or glass-ceramic substrate with a patterned sol-gel layer which has a haptically perceptible pattern.

Abstract: A method for producing a glass or glass ceramic composite material is provided. The method includes: providing a glass or glass ceramic substrate with a coefficient of thermal expansion of ??5*10?6 K?1; applying a sol-gel layer onto the substrate; adding particles to the sol-gel layer; patterning the sol-gel layer; thermally curing the sol-gel layer; and applying at least one further layer using a deposition process.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus intended especially for making a contactless measurement of the thickness of measurement objects made of transparent material. In the course of this measurement, two opposing beams produced by a first and second radiation source are directed through first and second beam splitters and through a deflecting device consisting of a body of transparent material having reflecting and refracting boundary surfaces. Thereafter, the beams are directed obliquely onto the surface of the object to be measured. The first and second component beams are reflected off the forward and rearward surfaces, respectively, of the object and are directed through first and second beam splitters onto first and second detecting devices. In order to facilitate a compact configuration and higher measurement precision, the first and second beam splitters define the incidence surfaces of the deflecting device facing towards the radiation sources.
