A machine (1) is configured to prepare a beverage from a capsule (5) having a body containing an ingredient The beverage is prepared by circulating a liquid into the capsule and centrifugally driving the capsule. The machine has a first capsule handler (10) and a second capsule handler (20) that are movable one relative to the other from a capsule transfer configuration to a capsule processing configuration for centrifuging the capsule (5) by rotation about a processing axis (30) of the first and second capsule handlers (10,20). The machine has a capsule insertion passage (60) associated with one or more capsule insertion guides (61) configured to guide the capsule (5) towards a capsule holding position in a space (100) between the first and second capsule handlers (10,20) in their transfer configuration. The capsule insertion guide(s) (61) comprise(s) at least a rotatable portion (38) that is stationary relative to at least one of the first and second capsule handlers (10,20) and rotates therewith when the first and second capsule handlers (10,20) are rotated for centrifugation.

A method of personalization for at least two cards (10), each card including a first side, a second side, and a peripheral surface, includes the following steps: forming a pile (20) of at least two cards by stacking the first side or the second side of an article (n) such that the first surface or the second surface of the following card (n+1) is in contact with the first side or the second side of the card (n); aligning, via an alignment device (32, 34) at least one element of the peripheral surface of the card (n) with at least one element of the peripheral surface of the following card (n+1) such that at least one element of the set of peripheral surfaces of each card forms at least one uniform surface; applying, via an application device, at least one product on at least one element of the uniform surface.

According to an example aspect of the invention, there is provided a method for producing a heating system on a 3D plastic window such as a car window of plastic, comprising an electric heat conductor structure consisting of at least two bus bars (principal heat conductors) and a grid line pattern with a plurality of grid lines (branch heat conductors), comprising

a step, in which the two bus bars are respectively screen-printed onto the 3D plastic window, preferably on the edges of the latter, by means of at least one displaceable squeegee with screen-printing ink in the form of a first electrically conductive paste, preferably a first silver paste,
a step, in which the grid line pattern is applied onto the 3D plastic window such that it respectively overlaps the two bus bars with at least one second electrically conductive paste, preferably a second silver paste, which has a greater electrical resistance than the first electrically conductive paste, and
a final step, in which the two bus bars and the grid lines overlapping these bus bars are at the respective overlapping points electrically connected into the electric heat conductor structure by means of electrical connectors.

Improvements in the technical field of solar panel (2) manufacturing are provided. To this effect, a process for manufacturing solar panels (2) is disclosed in which rows (4) of solar elements (3) are bonded together by an electrically conductive adhesive, with the electrically conductive adhesive being applied to the solar elements (3) during a transfer movement of the rows (4) of solar elements (3).
