In 1997, the administration of ARCS imposed drastic measures upon the employees, among them suspension of the company's pension system, causing the immediate departure of a large number of employees. Among those leaving ARCS at their own request was Rudi who moved his lab together with his that-time students from Seibersdorf to TU Wien where he operated, until 2011, a private gas-analysis lab in the frame of a freelance research activity.
