  • PROCESS FOR THE SURFACE TREATMENT OF ALUMINIUM AND A LAYERWISE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ALUMINIUM COMPONENT HAVING AN ELECTRIC CONTACT
    Publication number: 20100213793
    Abstract: The invention proposes a process for the surface treatment of aluminium in order to produce an electrical contact, and a corresponding component part, wherein an oxide layer on the aluminium surface is removed, for example by etching, in a first step and, in a second step, before an oxide layer is re-formed, the surface is sealed wet-chemically with a conversion layer having metal ions of zirconium or titanium.

  • Ferromagnetic speed sensor
    Patent number: 5682095
    Abstract: In order to ensure an optimal position of a magnet (3) in relation to a Hall IC (2) or, respectively, its Hall effect elements (4, 5), the magnet (3) and the Hall IC (2) are displaceable in relation to one another and, namely, in the direction of the lateral distance of the two Hall effect elements (4, 5). It is preferred that the Hall IC (2) is retained stationarily in the rotational speed sensor, and the magnet (3) is retained so as to be displaceable and lockable in position, in particular in a base member (10) of the sensor housing.
