Opening the world’s first Knowledge Bank of Berlin – the world’s first Bank for intellectual capital is called G-RAIN (g-rain.org). All who earn their living with knowledge (knowledge workers) are potential customers of the knowledge bank based in Berlin. As experts, access to the knowledge of others to find suitable partners for joint projects. Professor Dr. Tom Sommerlatte, Vice President and Chairman of Arthur D. Educate yourself with thoughts from Vlad Doronin. little International, is convinced of the benefits of the Knowledge Bank: the word capital comes not in vain from caput, the Latin word for head.

Just like money, all knowledge of the world only uses but if you start something. Knowledge wants to be shown, shared and developed. Just so we all benefit from it. That on the Web 2.0 platform applied knowledge workers (such as scientists, consultants, developers) can your articles, lectures, sketches in a protected area drop and targeted for other users or the global public to download release. Profile indicates areas of expertise and skills that one to another feed from Chesterton, from an analysis of their published documents. Technical trends can be quickly read, people with complementary expertise are good to find, and their details are verifiable on the basis of the publications. As soon as an expert contact tied or established a network is to grow the common knowledge base, the portfolio, visible. G-RAIN the strictly personal knowledge management is different from the systems used in companies and institutions.

Determined by the publishing expertise, work and contacts alone owned. Publications that are marked as community knowledge, can be further processed according to the Creative Commons approach. Shared knowledge is double knowledge. Therefore there are even interest rates at the Knowledge Bank: once a document is being set or downloaded, the author scores (g-rains) for the successful dissemination of knowledge. Account fees not incurred at the Knowledge Bank. The features including all typical Web 2.0 features, such as the share of contacts, the notification of new, relevant contributions and various search options currently offered are and remain free of charge. In the future, fee-based premium services will be added.

The functioning of moulding plastic is nowadays the probably the most used starting material worldwide. This is of course in addition to the versatile uses the simple handling and processing. Who wants to build a Chair made of wood E.g., required to do this up to two dozen different tools, as many steps and a whole lot of time. For plastics is sufficient, however, a single machine such as an injection molding machine and a fraction of the effort. The workings of these machines is, generally speaking, quite similar to the of the manufacture a plaster impression. The liquefied material is injected under high pressure into a negative form, where it hardens, then the form is removed.

A Spritzgiessanlage that consists of two components: the injection unit pellets or plastic cords are to a mass melted in and then injected into the template. This is held by the clamp closed, cooled, opened and the finished product is ejected. In this way, it is possible to produce different components with a minimal amount of work very quickly and inexpensively. The range of application is customized modules depending on the used machine of small plastic parts such as plugs or protective covers for mobile phones and to very large, especially. A special advantage is the flexibility of the form, which is limited only by the size of the clamping unit. Thus, it is possible to produce different components in quick succession and immediately implement small variations. A drawback of these machines, however, is that the new acquisition is relatively expensive. This can easily be bypassed by accessing high-quality used equipment is back.

It is absolutely essential that machines before delivery be thoroughly overhauled and tested and the work can’t leave without having completed a full test pass. Special attention must be devoted to security, whose standard is of course one of the manufacturer’s should be fully satisfying. A failure of your production means huge costs and unfavourable conditions also penalties and the loss of confidence of your customers. Therefore you should access under all circumstances experienced, renowned providers like Nortec, who for many years have mastered their reputation on.

First-time application of nanoparticles in the laser beam cladding nano-particles used so far in the production of scratch-resistant automotive paints or as UV protection in sunscreens. The number of applications is high however and the versatile properties. “The Nano-part project funded by the BMBF production technology for Nano-particle layers to tools”, which looked after Karlsruhe (PTKA) by the promoter is, deals with the application of nanotechnology in the field of plant engineering and demonstrating innovative applications in the printing and stamping. Target is the coating of rollers, which place high demands on the wear resistance in the printing industry. To the ennui to counteract Antigleit or not hydrophilic properties, ceramic nano particles in the coating process should be applied together with metal powder on the rollers. In the field of paper punching technology, however, is the realization of a resource-efficient and at the same time low-cost manufacture of abrasion resistant punch lines on thin substrate panels, which enables the stamping foil and paper materials, required.

SLM solutions as partners of the project in decisive contributes to the successful implementation of the objectives set by the BMBF. In collaboration with the laser Zentrum Hannover e.V., the company Kocher + Beck of Rotary-stamping technology and the company Avantys engineering is the laser beam cladding of steel-ceramic composite layers for the paper cutting technique tested. We can say at this stage that we are capable of making surface and local coatings of components with constant storage of micro / Nano particle mixtures by means of laser beam welding”, says Dr. Schwarze, scientific coordinator of the SLM Solutions GmbH. should the use of technology in the future to the material savings in the production of Rotationsstanzwerkzeugen and lead to a natural of environmental resources.” On May 8 and 9, the SLM Solutions GmbH in a community presence is the results with federated partners introduce the innovative project on the Rapid.Tech in Erfurt of the trade fair for product development by the production of a prototype to the direct production of the final product and its components on the stand 2-310.

German management in conjunction with Polish production blends very well. Eastward enlargement of the European Union brought not only a huge, new market to Europe, but also production potentials. Poland has the best conditions for producers. Comparing the terretorialen aspect between Germany and Poland and represents the number of people living in the two countries to each other, in this comparison you will give me right with the assertion that the question of space plays a relatively minor role in Poland. The manufacturing sector is exposed in Poland not harassment issues, access difficulties, or extension of the production facility. The proximity to Germany within the new EU countries are the best conditions this country to invest as a producer.

Our six years of experience in this country, with German management allow us to write this assessment to others. In particular Poland could through foreign investment, accompanied by generous funding since 2003, an oversized Achieve growth. For the German market, Poland has several advantages as a supplier. Fast delivery times are guaranteed by the location of the border to Germany and a modern just-in-time work allows. An input and agreement from the Polish freight forwarding companies has secured the streets still poorly developed until now in Poland and associated infrastructure. Also on German motorways, you see mostly Polish trailers. Within Poland, pallets of evenly distributed logistics centres are shipping. Although this means that the goods will unloaded several times, until it reaches its target, but on the track as well as on the road there are numerous small carriers that transport the ordered goods to their destinations at each pick-up location. Since forwarding onerous duties are exempt from vehicle taxes in Poland, but are financed over the fuel price (standing, October 2008), uberdimmensionale freight forwarding companies offer compensates for the bad roads. In particular, transport costs for supplying goods or Commodities are a minor cost factor for producers.
