  • Publication number: 20240150124
    Abstract: A system, method and use for picking objects for eyeglass manufacturing are proposed. The objects are stored in storage containers and output via a collecting conveyor in such a way that objects belonging to a defined work order are deposited adjacent to each other. At a storage outlet, a transport box is loaded with the deposited objects belonging to a defined work order and the loaded transport box is transported out of the system.

  • Publication number: 20240083161
    Abstract: In some examples, a processing machine for processing a substrate includes at least one shaping unit and/or at least one application unit. The at least one application unit and/or the at least one shaping unit in each case includes at least one forme cylinder and at least one impression cylinder. The at least one forme cylinder of the application unit includes at least one application forme including at least one application surface and/or the at least one shaping unit includes at least one shaping tool including at least one working surface.

  • Publication number: 20240083162
    Abstract: In some examples, a processing machine for processing a substrate includes at least one shaping unit. The at least one shaping unit includes at least one forme cylinder and at least one impression cylinder. A processing point for processing a substrate is arranged between the at least one forme cylinder and the at least one impression cylinder. The processing machine includes a control unit for correcting a processing length of the substrate, and which controls a speed of at least one of the at least one forme cylinder or the at least one impression cylinder. The at least one forme cylinder and the at least one impression cylinder have a speed ratio with respect to one another that is changeable at the processing point as a function of the processing length of the substrate, and the speed ratio differs at least once within a full cylinder revolution.

  • Patent number: 8007350
    Abstract: An apparatus for the payout of coins from a pair of neighbouring coin tubes, in which one stack of coins at a time is supported on the bottom of a coin tube, with a payout disc below the coin tubes, which is rotatably mounted around an axis parallel to the axis of the coin tubes and which has a payout element on the side facing the coin tubes, which is moved along a curved slit in the bottom of the respective coin tube in an angular rotation of the payout disc, in order to capture the respective lowermost coin and to push it out, with an electric drive motor for the payout disc and a control device, which triggers the drive motor such that departing from a rest position, the payout disc is rotated at option about a limited rotational angle up to a final position, and is consecutively turned back into the rest position, wherein the payout disc has an extension in the rotational direction by which the stack of coins rests on the payout element in the final position of the payout disc, characterised in that on t

  • Patent number: 6984556
    Abstract: A two-step etch process is used to form a vertical collar oxide within the upper portion of a trench capacitor. The first step uses CF4/SiF4/O2 chemistry and ends when the bottom of the collar within the trench is opened although a thin oxide layer still remains on the surface of the PAD-nitride. The second etch step uses C4F8 chemistry to completely remove the remaining silicon oxide layer. The process provides a good uniformity in thickness of the PAD-nitride layer and sufficient collar oxide thickness in the very top section of the collar oxide. The process is applicable for manufacturing deep trench capacitors for DRAM devices.

  • Publication number: 20020058345
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for removing an organic material from a semiconductor device are provided. The apparatus has a reactor for enclosing at least one semiconductor device with deposited organic material and for enclosing a fluid having ingredients for removing the organic material. An optical sensor system is placed in such a manner that an emitted optical radiation is transmitted through the fluid. The optical sensor system is connected to a control device, which controls the insertion of at least one of the ingredients according to the detected intensity of the optical radiation transmitted through the fluid. The invention allows for optimization of the amount of at least one of the ingredients used in the process.
