For large volumes pressure injections, the container (1) is placed between pressing plates (14and 17) respectively attached to a lower (13) and upper (15) elements, both connected by the main link (16).

Abstract: In an angle-of-rotation measuring device, which can be attached to a motor, is a rotor shaft which can be coupled in a force-locked manner to the motor shaft. The stator can be coupled to a fixed motor casing by means of a diaphragm which is fixed in a shape-locked manner to the motor-side end face of the stator by means of its inner region. The diaphragm encloses the stator in a sheath-like manner and has, at its outer rim remote from the motor, a bead which is clamped between the casing and a lid which seals the casing at the end face remote from the motor.

Abstract: A method for forming a shallow junction of a semiconductor device using a zirconium film to cover a semiconductor substrate and implanting impurities into the zirconium film. A titanium film is then formed over the zirconium film and both the zirconium and the titanium films are subjected to a thermal treatment to form a zirconium silicide and a titanium silicide. Unreacted parts of the zirconium film and titanium film are removed and the zirconium and titanium silicides are then subject to a second thermal treatment.

Abstract: A circuit for protecting against damage from an electrostatic discharge (ESD). The circuit provides protection by minimizing a voltage difference between a main voltage line and a TTL voltage line. This is accomplished with a bypass to a main ground voltage line in the case of a positive overvoltage, and a bypass to a main supply voltage line in the case of a negative overvoltage. In order to equalize the voltage between the main supply voltage line and the TTL supply voltage line, the circuit also utilizes a metal gate N-channel field transistor and a gate diode active transistor connected in parallel between the main and TTL supply voltage lines. A pair of metal gate N-channel field transistors is also connected in parallel between the main and TTL ground voltage lines in order to equalize the voltage between the main and TTL ground voltage lines.

The clamping element is connected to the work spindle of the machine tool and the control unit is placed on the work table of the machine tool, at the location at which the workpiece is held during the machining. The intermediate piece (2) is formed by a transducer (24) or comprises a transducer.

A shaft encoder (61) allows the precise determination and, if so required, registration of the respective measuring position. A special routing of the measuring cable and an internal transmission by means of a slip ring (66) and sensors (67), e.g.
