Lens techniques and photography
Rheinbund has a long-standing tradition in lens techniques, photography and filmograhpy. Two companies are active in this branche: Agfas A.G. and Karl Seiff GmbH.
Agfas A.G.
The Rheinian company Agfas was one of the first to introduce colour photography in the 1930s; nowadays it produces photofilm and moviefilm materials, easy-to-use photocameras, hand-held moviecameras, advanced moviecameras for the motion picture industry and movieprojectors for both at home and at the cinema. Furthermore, this company also produces printing presses and offset equipment for printing works.
Karl Seiff GmbH.
Karl Seiff was a pioneer in lens technology; his company Karl Seiff GmbH was one of the first to introduce the reflexcamera under the brand name Seiff Ikon, but is also known for its state-of-the-art microscopes, binoculars, spectacle glasses, periscopes for submarines and telescopes (both the small types for amateur starwatchers and the large ones in astronomical observatories).
Software
DVA A.G.
The abbreviation DVA stands for Datenverarbeitung und Analyse (Data processing and analysis). It is a package with two main modules. The first main module is the database module; it is designed for storing data. The other main module is the analysis module; it is meant for analysing and processing data. The difference between both modules is the way numbers are stored: The database module stores numbers in nibbles (groups of four bits) in order to store them exactly. The analysis module, which is the older module, stores numbers in the floating-point arithmetic standard to facilitate fast data processing.
DVA developed many business intelligence and data mining tools, but it is also possible that other users develop their tools with this software. The analysis module provides a wide variety of statistical analysis functions, from a simple frequency analysis to a complex multivariate linear regression model or a survival analysis. Graphs can be produced as plain text or in picture format like JPEG, PNG or GIF. Vector based graph formats are also available. Tables can be produced as plain text files, HTML format, RTF format or PDF format. It is also possible to export data to other formats, or to import data from other formats. Analyses can be set up through a graphical interface, but also by programming.
DVA is currently the leading database and analysis software for the Rheinian universities, the Rheinian biomedical companies, the Rheinian banks and the Rheinian industries.
HCP
The abbreviation HCP stands for Heugen Computer Programme.
