Abstract:
A method of measuring selected values of a specimen having at least one edge is performed with an apparatus which positions the specimen in the path of a light beam such that the specimen at least partially interrupts the light beam and the edge borders a shadow cast by the specimen. Further, the apparatus rotates the specimen about a rotary axis through at least one predetermined angle; monitors, by an observing apparatus, a boundary of the shadow cast by the edge; generates, by the observing apparatus, signals representing positions of the boundary; and evaluates the signals for determining the selected values.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a vacuum coating installation comprising a container (9) in which is disposed the material (10) to be vaporized, for example SiO. The vaporization of the material (10) herein takes place by means of an electron beam gun (11) or by means of a vaporization oven. Opposing the surface of the material to be vaporized (10) is provided a synthetic film (5) to be coated which is transported further by means of a transport arrangement (4, 6, 22 to 27). Into the space between the material (10) to be vaporized and the material (5) to be coated a microwave is irradiated from an horn antenna (13).
Abstract:
A device for conveying a spring string (31) has a first spring conveyor (3) and a second spring conveyor (4). By means of a sensor device, in operation, lengths of a plurality of segments of the spring string differing from one another are detected, while the spring string (31) is guided past a sensor (5) of the sensor device arranged in the conveying direction upstream of the second spring conveyor (4). A control device (9) is provided which sets, in an operating state of the device (1) in which both the first spring conveyor (3) and the second spring conveyor (4) convey the spring string (31), time-sequentially a plurality of relative conveying speeds between a conveying speed of the second spring conveyor (4) and a conveying speed of the first spring conveyor (3), depending on the detected lengths.
Abstract:
A system may include determination of historical resource load information associated with an enterprise computing system, determination of resource needs of the enterprise computing system associated with a future time based on the historical resource load information, and, at the future time, automatic allocation and de-allocation of resources to the enterprise computing system based on the determined resource needs.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for thermal sterilization in particular of a container filled with medical material or product, the method comprising a sterilization method step in which a thermal sterilization in particular is carried out of a container filled with medical material or product in the presence of a sterilization atmosphere, containing steam, at temperatures of at least 100° C. and at increased pressure, wherein the sterilization method step comprises at least a first method stage and a second method stage, following the first method stage, with first and second method stages being carried out at different pressures with respect to one another, the pressure in the second method stage being increased relative to the pressure in the first method stage.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods, systems and products, including a method that includes generating a system landscape overview including a context selection menu and an information window, the system landscape overview of a system landscape includes a plurality of systems identified by a unique identifier, the context selection menu enables modifying an import to at least one of the plurality of systems, and the information window provides metadata for the at least one of the plurality of systems; receiving, from the context sensitive menu, modification information representative of a schedule for an import to the at least one of the plurality of systems; determining, by a calculation engine, a workflow to install the at least one of the plurality of systems system; and providing the received modification information to a job scheduler to enable scheduling of the import to the at least one of the plurality of systems.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods, systems and products, including a method that includes receiving, by at least one processor-based device, data relating to features of a computing system, generating, by the at least one processor-based device, a diagram including graphical data representative of, at least partly, the features of the computing system, including an order of release of at least some subsystems of the computing system and layered relationship information, and providing the generated diagram to a user interface for presentation.
Abstract:
The furnace for firing ceramic materials has a working surface including a firing area and a storage area. A hood is provided which is moveable motorically relative to the working surface and positioned above the firing area to define the firing chamber. A robot arm for moving the ceramic material into and out of the firing area is provided.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the aftertreatment of an oxide coating, and specifically an SiO.sub.x coating on a synthetic film. In this aftertreatment the oxide coating is exposed to a plasma whose particles effect positive changes of the oxide coating.
Abstract:
Systems and method for forecasting release times in a multisystem software development environment are disclosed. A forecast engine may analyze the system specific data for multiple systems in a particular transport chain of systems in the development environment to determine when object code should be released from a source system to reach a target system in time to be included in an event, such as a software build or quality assurance test. The system specific data may include event schedules for each system in the transport chain. By analyzing the system specific data and the transport chain, the forecast engine can generate a time by which object code needs to be released to traverse the transport chain so that it is available to the target system for a particular scheduled event.
