Abstract:
Lighting devices for providing a secondary light with high luminance are provided. The lighting devices include a light conversion element and a light emitting unit with a light source that emits a primary light. The light conversion element has a front side illuminated with the primary light and, in response to the primary light, to emit a secondary light from the front side. The secondary light has a larger wavelength than the primary light.
Abstract:
A lighting device is provided that includes light emitting unit that emits primary light and a light conversion element that is illuminated with the primary light and emits secondary light of another wavelength. The light conversion element has a front side defining a primary light receiving surface that received the primary light and a secondary light emitting surface that emits the secondary light. The light conversion element has a variable thickness at the primary light receiving surface and/or in the secondary light emitting surface.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for packaging a plurality of containers for substances for medical, pharmaceutical or cosmetic applications in a packaging structure. The structure has a box-shaped upper part and a box-shaped lower part, forming a box-shaped receptacle in which the containers are accommodated. The plurality of containers are disposed directly on the bottom of the lower part that the containers are supported vertically on the bottom of the lower part, and the upper part is put onto the upper ends of the containers. The positions of the containers on the lower part are secured using side walls that project vertically from the bottom of the lower part and/or of the upper part, and the upper part and/or the lower part is configured and provided in a way that the containers are in direct contact with each other in the box-shaped receptacle and cannot be displaced relative to each other.
Abstract:
A supporting structure for concurrently supporting a plurality of vials is provided. The supporting structure includes a carrier having apertures or receptacles, into which the vials can be inserted to be supported therein on the carrier. The vials have a bottom that forms a base, a cylindrical side wall, and an annular transition region between the base and the cylindrical side wall. The carrier has a retaining protrusion at a lower end of the aperture or receptacle that extends into the respective aperture or receptacle inward in radial direction. The retaining protrusion supports the vial in cooperation with the transition region outside the base in such a manner that the bottoms or bases of the vials jut out of the apertures or receptacles of the carrier and are freely accessible from the lower side of the carrier.
Abstract:
A process for the treatment or processing of containers is provided. The process includes automatically conveying the containers past a processing station for the treatment or processing by or through a conveying device and then inserting the containers into a transport or packaging container having a bottom, a circumferential side wall and an insertion opening opposite to the bottom. In some embodiments, a plurality of containers are placed on a flat supporting base so that the bottoms of the containers directly rest on the flat supporting base; the containers, while resting on the flat supporting base, are conveyed to a processing station by the conveying device to be treated or processed; and after the treatment or processing of the containers, the transport or packaging container is placed on the flat supporting base so that all the containers of the plurality of containers are accommodated in the transport or packaging container.
Abstract:
A glass ceramic is provided that has an upper surface, a lower surface, and a surface zone of at least 10 nm thickness that is substantially amorphous so that a content of crystalline phases in the surface zone is at most 20 vol %. The glass ceramic has at least one lateral pattern with periodic and/or quasi-periodic features with a mean feature spacing of not more than 200 μm. The features are defined by depressions in the material of the surface zone so that the pattern as a whole does not protrude beyond the surface level. The features have a depth that is smaller than a thickness of the surface zone and do not extend into the region of the glass ceramic that has a higher content of crystalline phases.
Abstract:
A packaging unit for at least one pharmaceutical, medical, or cosmetic item is provided. The packaging unit includes a sterilizing chamber for accommodating the item and a prechamber that can be sealed repeatedly both from an exterior of the packaging unit and from the sterilizing chamber. The prechamber has a wall that has portions made of a wall material that is selectively permeability to one or more sterilizing agents.
Abstract:
A method for sterile packaging of a plurality of containers is provided that includes: providing a carrier in which a plurality of receptacles are formed, the receptacles being formed by a closed bottom and a circumferential side wall, the upper ends of the receptacles, which are opposite to the respective bottom, are open and circumferential connecting webs are provided at the upper ends; placing the containers in the receptacles; providing a gas-impermeable protective foil; bonding the protective foil along the connecting webs with the upper surface of the carrier to package all the receptacles with the containers accommodated individually therein; and sterilizing the receptacles with the containers accommodated therein and/or the inner volumes of the containers by a gas flowing into the receptacles and/or into the inner volumes of the containers through at least one gas-permeable portion.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a supporting structure for concurrently supporting a plurality of containers for substances for medical, pharmaceutical or cosmetic applications, comprising a flat, rectangular-shaped carrier having a plurality of apertures or receptacles and at least one supporting member, which is releasably coupled to the carrier, wherein the respective supporting member is configured to support a plurality of containers to said carrier by a positive-fit.According to the invention the positive-fit is formed by coupling the respective supporting member with the carrier such that the containers supported on the container extend into the apertures or receptacles of the carrier.By means of the supporting members tolerances, in particular with respect to the outer radius or the outer contour of the containers and to their length, can be compensated for in a simple manner. Because the containers extend through the apertures of the carrier, the bottoms of the containers are freely accessible from the underside of the carrier even if these are supported on the carrier. This offers significant advantages when processing or further processing the containers. Since the supporting means are clipped into the carrier, these are retained to the carrier in axial direction and thus are supported very reliably on the carrier.
Abstract:
A light conversion device is provided that includes a main body and a light conversion arrangement. The main body includes heatsink and is on a back side of the light conversion arrangement. The light conversion arrangement has a front side with light conversion elements separated from one another at least regionally by a trench. The light conversion elements, when irradiated with primary light on the front side, are configured to emit secondary light having a different wavelength from the front side.
