Abstract: A control system for fault detection with a control device including a processor having a control program that calculates at least one actuating value signal outputted to an actuator. At two process points in the control program, at least one control point (K) is defined at which a program output value is outputted to form a monitoring signal that is outputted to a monitoring device. The monitoring signal contains at least two signal elements of three possible signal elements. A first signal element represents the control point through which the control program should have directly run before the control point, a second signal element represents the present control point, and a third signal element represents the next control point in the program process. The monitoring device checks the monitoring signals for the correct state, and a state signal can be output as a fault signal.

Abstract: Method for producing a vacuum measuring cell having a pressure transducer diaphragm with housing plates sealed on opposite sides to form reference and measuring vacuum chambers. An opening in one plate communicates with the measuring vacuum chamber and has a sealed connection for joining to medium to be measured. The diaphragm and plates are aluminum oxide ceramic and at least one of the seals is aluminum with a thickness of 0.5 ?m to 30 ?m. The ceramic parts are pressed together at increased temperature of 600° C. to 680° C. in a process gas atmosphere including a reducing gas, during a time of 30 to 90 minutes, and subsequently a tempering step is carried out in a second process gas atmosphere including oxygen, tempering taking place at a temperature of 450° C. to 575° C. such that the metallic aluminum is oxidized into aluminum oxide.

Abstract: Magnetron source has a target configuration with a sputter surface, a magnet configuration generating above the sputter surface a magnetic field which forms, in top view onto the sputter surface, at least one magnet field loop. Viewed in a cross-sectional direction upon the target configuration, a tunnel-shaped arc magnet field is formed and further an electrode configuration is provided which generates, when supplied by a positive electric potential with respect to an electric potential applied to the target configuration, an electric field which crosses at an angle the magnetic field and wherein the electrode configuration comprises a distinct electrode arrangement in a limited segment area of the electrode configuration, which is substantially shorter than the overall length of the magnet field loop.

Abstract: A radiofrequency plasma reactor (1) for the treatment of substantially large sized substrates is disclosed, comprising between the electrodes (3, 5) of the plasma reactor a solid or gaseous dielectric layer (11) having a non planar-shaped surface-profile, said profile being defined for compensating a process non uniformity in the reactor or generating a given distribution profile.

Abstract: Cellular foil (3) is unfolded between the surface of earth base course (1) and the first floor layer (5) during building the subsoil, which cellular foil (3) is poured over with fill (4) from loose material at least up to filling the compartments. A bedding (2) from loose material, optimally from sand, is created under the cellular foil (3). Geotextile (6) may be incorporated to the area under the cellular foil (3). Bedding (2) of lower grain size than that of the fill (4) is preferably used, wherein the fill (4) has optimal grain size of 8 to 63 mm. Compaction is done by at least eight travels of roller of 10 to 11 tons weight, also including vibrations when the height of fills is exceeding 25 cm above the cellular foil (3).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (1) for observing reactions in samples (2), to which a reagent (3) is added, and/or a method which is based on the use of this device. The device includes at least one first optical device (4) for observing samples (2) in the direction of a first optical axis (5) and in a first observation region (6) penetrated by the first optical axis; a first device (7) for receiving receptacles (8) containing samples (2) and for aligning samples in these receptacles in relation to the first optical axis (5); and an injection device (10) for adding liquids (3) to samples (2) and an illumination device (17) for irradiating the samples (2) with excitation light of a first wavelength.

Abstract: In an original pressing plate hinge including a fixing member, an original pressing plate supporting member pivotably installed via a hinge pin to the fixing member, a slider slidably housed in the supporting member, a cam member fixed between the slider and the free end of the supporting member in contact with the slider, and a coil spring provided resiliently between the slider and the free end of the supporting member, the cam member is omitted to prevent an original or document set on the platen glass for copying or printing from being stained with or spoiled by a lubricant when the original touches the cam member to which the lubricant sticks, and instead a pressure receiving pin or roller is used and a cam slider is used in place of the slider. To prevent a heavy original pressing plate from abruptly falling, a damping member is housed in the coil spring and disposed between the cam slider and the top plate or free end of the supporting member.

Abstract: Disclosed is a wire-type corona charger having a wire electrode disposed between ground electrode plates. The wire electrode is supported by the ends of the plurality of wire electrode supporters which are so arranged that their ends have a curvature equal to arcuately-shaped upper edge of the ground electrode plates. The curvature coincides with one of the curvatures of the horizontal axis and the vertical axis of the interior surface of the panel faceplate, while the charger is pivoted along the other curvature of the faceplate. The charger can uniformly charge the photoconductive layer and improves the charging efficiency.

Abstract: A purge concentrate for purging paint spraying and other coating equipment has about 20%-60% by weight water; about 10%-40% by weight of an active solvent; about 10%-50% by weight of a co-solvent; about 1-9% by weight of a penetrant; and about 0.2-2.0% by weight wetting agent. It need not be heated to the curing temperature of heat curing paints and thus purges these paints more effectively.

Abstract: It is suggested for depositing layers of mechanically resistant material, in particular on highly stressed tools, to coat the workpieces (7) alternatingly by means of reactive cathode sputtering (1, 13) and to after-treat them by means of a further plasma discharge (3).

Abstract: The lift platform (16) of a lifting apparatus (10) can be raised and lowered by a hydraulically operated lifting device (12) . The back rest (18) can be swivelled backwards and forwards by a swivelling device (19). A multi-valve housing (20) is connected via pressure lines (24, 26) to the lifting and swivelling devices (12, 19). A hydraulic water supply line (22) feeds hydraulic water to the multi-valve housing (20) . The multi-valve housing (20) contains main valves for filling or emptying the lifting and swivelling devices (12, 19). The multi-valve housing (20) is triggered by an external manual control unit (30) via a flexible multiple line (28) .

Abstract: A refrigerated cabinet wherein a dealer side and an opposedly located customer side are recognizable comprises a plurality of uprights arranged to support a display glazed deck, and an electric console associated with a cabinet refrigerating system to control its operational functions. The electric console includes an elongate box-shaped case mounted close against one of the uprights lying on the cabinet dealer side.
