Abstract: There is described a printing press adapted to carry out printing on a sheet-like or web-like substrate, in particular for the production of security documents such as banknotes, comprising a substrate feeding device for feeding the substrate to be treated, at least a printing unit designed to print a first side and/or a second side of the substrate and a delivery unit for receiving the treated substrate. The printing press in the conveying path for the substrate between the feeding device and the delivery unit further comprises an in-line casting device adapted to apply a layer of material acting as an optical medium on a portion of the second side of the substrate and to replicate and form a micro-optical structure in the layer of material acting as optical medium, wherein the printing unit comprises a first printing group comprising a printing cylinder and being adapted to print at least one printed pattern on the first or second side of the substrate in register with the micro-optical structure.

Abstract: A printing press and a method for producing security products or security intermediate products comprises a feed device for feeding unprinted printing substrate into the printing press. Multiple printing couples print the unprinted printing substrate in an indirect planographic or in a letterpress printing method in one or more printing nips. In a conveyor line, between the feed device and the first printing nip located in the printing substrate path, at least one inspection device, which is embodied as a transmissive inspection device, is provided for inspecting the as yet unprinted printing substrate.

The printing press (100***; 100****) further comprises an in-line casting device (80; 80*; 80**; 80***) adapted to apply a layer of material acting as an optical medium on a portion of a first side (I, II) of the substrate (S) and to replicate and form a micro-optical structure (L) in the layer of material acting as optical medium.

Abstract: The invention relates to a spectacle-type device (1) in which a full image can be depicted in a reliable manner by overlapping the first partial image (?3) and the second partial image (?4), wherein a correct full image can be perceived by the operator (2), and an action can be carried out with reliability when at least two items of image information coincide. The invention also relates to a method for depicting a full image and/or for carrying out an action using a spectacle-type device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for printing sheets of printing substrate (02), having a first printing nip (12) which is formed between a first cylinder (19; 19*) that acts as a transport cylinder (19; 19*) and a second cylinder (18), and in which the printing substrate sheets (02) can be printed on one or on both sides with one or more collected print image segments, and having a second printing nip (11) lying downstream in the printing substrate path, which printing nip is disposed at a level lying below the first printing nip (12) and is formed between a third cylinder (17) that acts as a transport cylinder (17) and a fourth cylinder (16), and in which the printing substrate sheets (02) can be printed on one or on both sides with one or more collected print image segments, wherein the printing substrate sheets (02) can be conveyed via at least one rotating transport means (33; 38; 39) along a transport path from the cylinder (19; 19*) that acts as a transport cylinder (19; 19*) of the first printing nip

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for configuration of networked controllers in a vehicle that can be manufactured with various outfitting variants (that is, differing components and features), at least one controller being configurable to different outfitting variants of the vehicle, characterizing information is stored for the various outfitting variants of the vehicle. The data for configuring the controllers are stored in an outfitting variant controller on board the vehicle. A particular controller that is to be configured in this manner transmits characterizing information to the outfitting variant controller for configuration to a specified outfitting variant of the vehicle in which it is installed. The outfitting variant controller assembles the data for configuring the particular controller using the characterizing information and the data stored on the outfitting variant controller.
