Abstract: An electronic labelling assembly for a multi-part container includes a sleeve-shaped supplementary element which includes a coupling structure and which is configured to be coupled with respect to a longitudinal axis of the supplementary element by the coupling structure to an outer surface of a primary closure of the container and to surround the primary closure. The labelling assembly further includes an RFID functional unit having an RFID chip and an antenna structure coupled thereto. The supplementary element and the RFID functional unit are formed in coordination with each other and coupled to each other so that the RFID functional unit is attachable to the primary closure of the container by the supplementary element.

Abstract: A printing unit has a printing form cylinder, an impression cylinder opposite the printing form cylinder and at least one substrate carrier apparatus with which a printing substrate is moved through between the printing form cylinder and the impression cylinder, wherein the substrate is printed in a printing region between the two cylinders. The substrate carrier apparatus is moved linearly during a uniform rotation of the two cylinders along a linearly extending track, limited in length by a longitudinal extension of the printing unit. The substrate carrier apparatus is accelerated from a resting start position to an operating speed, to be reached upon reaching the printing region, the substrate carrier apparatus is moved at least in the printing region at constant speed, and the substrate carrier apparatus is decelerated after leaving the printing region to a resting end position on the track.

Abstract: A SCR (Selective Call Radio) (400) includes a circuit. The circuit in turn includes a component (102) having one or more bondable elements (104-108), and a substrate (110) coupled to the component (102). To substantially improve interconnect reliability, the substrate (110) includes a corresponding one or more bondable pads (108) for interconnecting with the one or more bondable elements (104-108) of the component (102), and one or more slotted openings (202) in the substrate (110) for relieving mechanical stress near one or more interconnects of the substrate (110) and the component (102).

Abstract: A method and apparatus eliminates an audible noise burst after reestablishment of an external timing signal in a radio base station (102). After a loss of the external timing signal, the base station (102) temporarily operates from an internal timing signal generator (226) to provide digital communications over a radio link (106) with a portable communication unit (120). After reestablishment of the external timing signal, the base station (102) detects (304) the presence of the signal, waits (306) for the signal to stabilize, and controls (312) the portable communication unit (120) to disable audio while switching (316) back to the external timing signal.
