Abstract: A composite element includes: an outer holder; and an inner component which is held in the outer holder under a compressive stress, the outer holder and the inner component adjoining one another along a contour line which is closed, the contour line including two linear portions and two connecting portions, the two linear portions opposing one another and extending in a straight line, the two connecting portions connecting the two linear portions to form the contour line as closed, at least one of the two connecting portions having an arcuately extending curved region.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided which can be worn on the body or implanted into the body, such as in the form of a pulse watch and/or a smartwatch and/or an implant. The electronic device includes a photoplethysmographic measuring device. A transmitter diode and a receiver diode are arranged under a window made of glass or glass ceramics. The window is implemented as a compression glass seal and/or as a fiber-optic plate.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a glass-metal feedthrough, composed of an outer conductor or a basic body, a glass material or glass-ceramic material, and an inner conductor. The inner conductor is preferably a metal pin and the inner conductor is sealed in the outer conductor, in particular basic body, in the glass or glass-ceramic material. The metal pin comprises a material with high conductivity and/or low contact resistance, as well as a sleeve element that surrounds the metal pin at least partially.

Abstract: A multilaser arrangement includes: a housing including a base plate, a housing cap fastened on the base plate, and a transparent element, the base plate including a bottom face, the housing cap including an opening with the transparent element assigned to the opening for the passage of electromagnetic radiation; lasers, each being arranged inside the housing at a distance from the bottom face of the base plate, the housing cap including an upper wall and a side wall, which includes a lower edge and a surface, is formed integrally with the upper wall, and ends with the lower edge fastened on the base plate, the side wall having a first thickness and a second thickness, the first thickness being measured in a direction perpendicular to the surface, the second thickness being measured at the lower edge and being less than or equal to the first thickness.

Abstract: An electronic device that can be worn on the body or introduced into the body includes: a casing having a top and a bottom and an inorganic support including an opening and composed of a plurality of components; and at least one window made of at least one of glass or glass ceramic provided on the bottom. The window is secured in the inorganic support and seals the opening in the inorganic support.

Abstract: A method for varying the flight path of a missile, in particular of a spin-stabilized projectile, which has an outer wall and which is provided with at least one impulse device. The impulse device can be activated deliberately at a defined time during the flight of the missile. The impulse device is arranged with respect to the longitudinal axis of the missile such that, when it is activated, it generates an impulse that initiates a tumbling movement which causes the flight-path of the missile to be shortened or varied. A spin-stabilized projectile is provided with such an impulse device and it is configured so that the impulse device may be triggered during flight so as to initiate the flight-altering tumbling movement.

Abstract: The improved method of melting a metal, especially cast iron, in a cokeless cupola furnace includes the step of injecting at least one case product quality improving and stabilizing substance into a space between the grate and the burners. The quality improving and stabilizing substance can be refining substance and a nuclear-enriching substance of the type used in code-fired cupola furnaces including nitrogen-containing substances such as ammonia and hydrazine and halogen-containing substances. A suitable apparatus for performing the improved process is also described having a downwardly direct lance for injection of the quality improving and stabilizing substance with an upwardly-directed mouth portion for forming an upwardly directed jet inserted through a furnace wall in a throughgoing guideway.
