Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing a mixture of various bulk material components, with supply containers for the individual bulk material components and with a weighing container with an integrated mixing device which is suspended or supported on a weighing device, and to which the desired mixture of the bulk material components is supplied from the supply containers by means of feed devices via an upper inlet. The object of the invention is to provide an apparatus such as this in which the ratio of the empty weight of the weighing container to the items being weighed is considerably improved, in order to increase the measurement accuracy. This object is achieved in that the mixing device (18) projects into the weighing container (10) from above, but is suspended free of the weighing container (10).

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a product from strip tape starting from a broad web of material includes the step of separating the web into individual strips with a smooth stripping roll, conveying each strip in a vacuum conveyor channel, turning the strips on their way to the channel or in the channel by about 90°, leading the strips together at the end of the channel one upon the other and thereafter processing the strips to form the final product.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for synchronizing one or more remote clocks (2) to a central clock (1) via a bi-directional satellite radio link (9.1, 9.2). Time and data signals are exchanged via suitable transmitting (8, 12) and receiving devices (5, 11) at both ends of the radio link. From time difference measurements (6, 14) at both ends a control signal (17) is derived in such a manner that the clock (2) installed directly in the remote ground station devices (11) synchronizes in state and rate to the central clock (1) with the aid of the two-way method (TWSTFT, Two-Way Satellite Time and Frequency Transfer). The user has access to time signals (18) which directly represent the state of the central clock (1). The signals used for the time measurement are also used for data transmission, resulting in a system operating in real time in which the control deviations (15, 16) of the remote clock are accessible at both ends of the system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for individually packing sheet or film-type materials in an automatic manner, said materials consisting of at least one material layer, in a packing unit with marked contents. A marking (40) made of a waxy marking material is applied to a warmed first packing material strip (20). The sheet or film-type material (10) is fixed to the marking wit surface thereof, whereby the roughness of the surface thereof is greater than the roughness of the surface of the first packing material strip. A second packing material strip (30) is applied to the sheet or film-type material and is connected to the first packing material strip in order to form a closed packing unit. The packing unit (35) is cooled and the marking is separated from the first packing material strip. A secure packing method and a marking for sheet or film-type materials are developed according to said inventive method.

Abstract: In the global protection of objects structured with electronic components, security devices, e.g., in a vehicle, become active by at least one component, and/or information within at least one component that is essential for operation of the vehicle is deactivated irreversibly and or erased, so that even a disassembly or bridging of the component concerned can achieve no effect, since acquisition of a functional replacement part is not available. The components can, for example, be placed in the motor electronics, the steering column lock, the door lock, and/or the key, and through miniaturization of the receiver, any electronic device can be protected including, among other things, radio telephones, (Euro-)checkcards and cash cards, credit cards, telephone cards, keys to electronic systems, mobile electronic devices, such as cassette recorder, CD players, clocks, computers, etc.

Abstract: A process and device for manufacturing a primary unit pack of a wafer. A laminate comprising a carrier sheet and an active substance film is cross-cut at a predetermined length, detached from the carrier sheet, guided between two packaging material webs and, conveyed to a sealing station along with the packaging material webs. The packaging material webs are sealed to form a bag that is separated from the webs. The process includes detaching the carrier sheet from the active substance film, pulling the carrier sheet forward over the predetermined length of the wafer, simultaneously guiding the active substance film, which has been detached from the carrier sheet, without mechanical stress, the front end being between the packaging material webs which are in a resting condition, and is received and fixed by packaging material webs and transversely cut to form a wafer.

Abstract: A device for manufacturing a product from strip tape includes a roll that draws off and separates a web of material. The web of material is severed into individual strips in cooperation with a multiple circular knife roll. A vacuum conveyor channel is associated with each strip. The vacuum conveyor channel is designed such that each strip is turned on its way to the channel or through the channel by about 90°. The end of the vacuum conveyor channel brings the strips together at one site to form a unit and at that site there are provided a guide and a transport device for the further transport to conversion equipment.

Abstract: A two-layer ceramic composite material, wherein the first predominantly load-bearing layer is an oxidic, carbon-free fiber-reinforced ceramic layer which is made by a colloidal process. The second predominantly thermally insulating layer is an oxide-ceramic foam. The colloidal process produces carbon-free oxide ceramics which, because of their high purity, have low dielectric losses in the entire usage temperature range. In addition, the colloidal process provides a simple and cost-effective production method.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus wherein regular articles are fed to an operating station and the articles have handle elements arranged on two opposite sides. The successive articles are advanced up in abutment against one another on a moving transporting path, and are separated one after the other and fed individually, and in time with the operating cycle, to the operating station. The articles are advanced up in abutment against one another in a stable position and are fed individually, and without being adversely affected, to the operating station in the longitudinal direction. For this purpose, the articles are advanced up with the opposite sides transverse to the transporting direction and with the handle elements interengaging, and are separated by virtue of the following article being pushed back counter to the build-up pressure, caused by the following articles, on the transporting path in time with the operating cycle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for producing small, thin sheets from an active-ingredient film (2), in which the latter is produced by casting the film material onto a substrate material or by coating a substrate material, storing it with or without substrate material on a reel, pulling it off the reel and cutting it. It achieves the object of designing a method of this type in such a way that with this method small sheets can be produced as exactly as possible in predetermined sizes. To do this, the active-ingredient film (2) is pulled off automatically, is separated from a substrate material which is present and, in tensioned form, is fed to a cutting station and is cut, in the feed direction, into long, narrow strips (7) of predeterminable width, and the long strips (7) are brought together in the feed direction and together are fed by a further feed device (10) to a transverse cutter (11), which cuts through the combined long strips (7) at predetermined intervals.

Abstract: A satellite provides a time signal that is adjusted for position of a receiver on the surface of the Earth. A receiver determines appropriate local time from the time signal, and can adjust a local clock accordingly, the satellite time signal in the form of a rotating beam containing angular information to determine the position of the satellite transmitter for proper synchronization. A fixed receiver can also measure the radiation angle of the transmitted beam.
