  • Patent number: 9734596
    Abstract: A method for generating executable applications with dynamic, scalable vector graphics by using a compiler operated by a computer includes marking the dynamic elements of the scalable vector graphics by an attribute. During the compilation process, on the basis of the attribute, the compiler translates the dynamic elements of the scalable vector graphics into program code that is part of the program code of the executable applications. A compiler is also provided for carrying out the method.

  • Publication number: 20140313547
    Abstract: A device for operating printing substrate processing machines includes a control panel having a deposition surface for receiving printing substrates and an operating element embodied as a touch screen for controlling the printing substrate processing machine by using a control computer. The touch screen is disposed at a front edge of the control panel in front of the deposition surface for receiving the printing substrate. The touch screen extends at least across the entire width of the deposition surface for receiving the printing substrate.

  • Patent number: 7860587
    Abstract: A display and/or operating device for controlling machines includes a projection device for projecting an image onto a projection area, an acquisition device for scanning the same projection area, and a control computer for controlling the projection device and the acquisition device. The present invention is distinguished by the fact that, by the acquisition device and the control computer, an analysis of the same projection surface can be carried out, and that the content of the image to be projected can be controlled by the control computer as a function of the result of the analysis of the same projection area.
