Abstract: The invention relates to a method (100) for monitoring the growth conditions of a microwave plasma-assisted deposition for diamond manufacture, said method being implemented by a monitoring device (10) comprising at least one digital image capture means (11), one digital image processing module (12), and one data processing module (13), said method including the steps of: capturing (110) a digital color image of at least one growing diamond, using the digital image capturing means (11), extracting (120) color characteristic values from at least one area of the captured digital image, by the digital image processing module (12), and analyzing (130), by the data processing module (13), the extracted color characteristic values to detect a variation during the microwave plasma-assisted deposition.

Abstract: A battery fan system is disclosed. The battery fan system has a frame having a plurality of channels disposed between a plurality of cell receiving spaces and a linear fan assembly having a linear fan longitudinally aligned with a first end of one of the plurality of channels.

Abstract: For a procedural functional element formed from a stack of films or plates provided with microstructures, on at least one side of the films a thin film coating is provided, which extends into the microstructures from the coated side so that the thin film coating forms both a surface seal between films lying on one another and a protective layer for the material of the films against aggressive media.

Abstract: A system for attaching a structural member to a supporting member, the supporting member having at least one stud which extends through an opening of the structural member, the system comprising a sleeve having as radial flange at one end adapted to be introduced into the opening, an annular sealing element positioned on the sleeve and adapted to engage the associated surface of the structural member, an integral nut arrangement, preferably of spring steel, which has a nut portion adapted to be threaded onto the stud, a fastening portion adapted to be secured to the flange, the fastening portion being rotatable with the flange and engages axially the radial flange of the sleeve, and a deformable portion between the nut portion and fastening portion which allows a certain axial deformation if the nut arrangement is threaded onto the stud with a predetermined torque into engagement with the radial flange, the deformable portion and the fastening portion forming a passage for the stud.

Abstract: A system for attaching a structural member to a supporting member, the supporting member having at least one stud which extends through an opening of the structural member, the system comprising the following features:
