Abstract: A method for producing a disk shaped workpiece with a dielectric substrate includes treatment in a plasma process volume between two electrode faces bounding a high-frequency plasma discharge. One electrode face is of dielectric material and is at a high-frequency potential with a varying distribution along the face. The other electrode face is metallic. Reactive gas is introduced into the process volume through an aperture pattern. The dielectric substrate, before treatment, is at least regionally coated with a layer material to whose specific resistance applies: 10?5 ?cm??10?1 ?cm, and to the resulting surface resistance RS of the layer applies: 0<RS?104 ?. Subsequently, the coated substrate is positioned on the metallic electrode face and is etched or coated reactively under plasma enhancement in the plasma process volume.

Abstract: An automatic injection device includes a drive mechanism and a sensor used to determine an internal characteristic such as a force or internal pressure generated during an injection process. This characteristic is then used as a control parameter by a microprocessor or controller to determine the exit pressure of the fluid expelled by the device. This exit pressure is then used to identify the kind of tissue in which the injection is being introduced.

The shield is between the two openings and is implemented as a screw shield with spiral convolutions, its thread flange in the outer diameter being in contact on the inner wall of the shield housing such that a gas throughflow between the outer diameter of the thread flange and the inner wall is inhibited and is substantially forced into the spiral thread flight, and the exit port is on one side of the tubular section and the connection opening is on the other, opposite side and the screw shield is implemented such that in the axial line of vision the shield arrangement between the two openings is optically tight.

Abstract: An original cover closer has first and second parts for supporting the cover on a main body of office equipment. The first part supports a heavier side of the cover and a second part supports the lighter side of the cover. Both parts have a mounting member with a bottom plate mounted on the main body and a first supporting member having a top plate and side plates extending downwardly, and rotatably mounted via a hinge pin at respective ends of the mounting member. A first lifting member is mounted via a second hinge pin at respective ends of the top plate so that the first lifting member is rotatable in a reverse direction to the first supporting member. A resilient member rotationally urges the cover in an opening direction by applying force toward the first supporting member and applying force on another end toward the first lifting member.

Abstract: Method for producing a substrate includes establishing a plasma discharge with a locally inhomogeneous density distribution and exposing the substrate to the inhomogeneously density-distributed plasma discharge. The distribution is established by establishing a specified relative movement of the inhomogeneous density distribution and of the substrate and establishing a specified time variation of an electric power signal supplying the discharge and/or of an optionally provided further electric signal which connects the substrate to bias voltage. When the electric power signal or further electric signal is an AC signal, the specified time variation of the signal addresses its modulation and the method includes setting the variation and the movement.
