Models of various kinds of cooperation exist, which show specific advantages for certain situations. Important factors for cooperation success are the definition of the goals, the partner's properties as well as the form of cooperation. The tool presented in this paper allows an easy identification of the right kind pf partner for a given problem and helps in setting up the collaboration more easily. It can be applied by managers of industrial companies regardless of size or industry. The tool is derived from a set of case studies and information about various kinds of research - industry - projects and helps to achieve more successful partnerships. It consists of a four stage process supported by four decision matrixes. The tool described in this paper will be useful for practitioners in setting up new co-operations and gives academia a framework for the cooperation initiation phases.

    Zur Herstellung eines Konvektorsprofils wird eine von einem Coil (1) abgewickelte Blechbahn (2) im Profilierverfahren (3) zu einer endlosen Konvektorbahn umgeformt. Die Konvektorbahn wird in Querrichtung in Konvektorstreifen (4) von typenspezifischer Laenge zerschnitten und die Einzelstreifen zu einem Endloskonvektor in Querrichtung zusammengesetzt. Danach wird der Endloskonvektor durch Scherschneiden in heizkoerperspezifische Einzelkonvektoren unterteilt.

The pin section serves especially to temporarily close up a threaded recess such as a drill hole. The deformable plastics pin effects a seal against the thread in the drill hole as the pin is screwed into the hole. USE - Multifunction blocking pin for use especially to temporarily close up and protect holes otherwise exposed to galvanic process. ADVANTAGE - Single-use pin is automatically inserted and provides low-cost system for protecting especially threaded components.

    A new method applies a sheet (1) to a surface (13), e.g. the painted surface of a car. The sheet is supplied from a roll (2), from which it is pulled off. It is laid on to the surface, being cut out before, during or after placing, such that the edge of the surface slightly projects beyond the edge of the cut sheet. The residue (11) is taken away, before, during or after placing, in an automatic process. Also claimed is the corresponding equipment, to carry out the proposed procedure. USE - Used to apply a sheet to a surface, especially a painted vehicular surface, for protection, replacing earlier methods of e.g. wax protection. ADVANTAGE - This process may be fully automated and the protected surface is formed easily and at small cost, and subsequently there is no difficulty in handling since there are no projecting sheet edges to cause problems. Applied to bonnet, boot and doors, all these can be opened afterwards without hindrance, allowing checking, and if necessary, rectification . The sheet is applied in such a manner that the paintwork, which may yet require full hardening, is not marked or damaged.

    The description refers to a container system comprising profiled panels having holders to receive storage workpieces and which can be stacked on top of each other in their filled state or stacked in each other in their empty state. The invention is characterized by the combination of the following features - the profile of the panels is designed such that any two panels form honeycombs which completely surround the workpieces placed in them - the contact surfaces of stacked panels receive the weight of the stack - shaped elements centre each panel so that no shearing forces can occur.
