  • Publication number: 20160109306
    Abstract: A force measuring device including a crystalline layer with piezoelectric properties. The layer is arranged on at least part of a surface of a solid state actuator (or carrier). The device also includes at least one wear-protection layer with anti-frictional properties. The piezoelectric layer includes crystalline aluminium nitride having a hexagonal crystal structure with a pronounced crystal orientation (002), at least one electrically conductive layer being applied between the surface of the solid-state actuator and the crystalline aluminium nitride layer. The conductive layer is preferably a metal layer consisting of at least one metal, which when oxidized, forms an electrically insulating oxide that is mechanically and thermally more stable than molybdenum(VI) oxide (Mo03).

  • Patent number: 9175378
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for improving the wear resistance of dyed surgical instruments having a vacuum-resistant material as the main body which, over the course of a vacuum coating step, is coated with a thin layer of titanium, and the coated surface is subjected to anodic oxidation. The method is characterized in that, over the course of the vacuum coating step, prior to coating with the layer of titanium, at least parts of the main body are coated with a layer of hard material which improves the wear protection.
