  • Method for the production of window elements which can be soldered into a housing in a hermetically tight manner and of a window element sealing a housing
    Patent number: 7468293
    Abstract: In a method for the production of window elements which can be soldered into a housing in a hermetically tight manner and of a window element sealing a housing, the object of the invention is to achieve an improved hermetic sealing between window and housing through increased adherence and homogeneity in the metal coating and to prevent penetration of scattered light and unwanted radiation. Optically transparent, flat substrate material whose size is sufficient for a plurality of window elements is provided on at least one surface with an optical coating from which frame-like portions on a coated surface which enclose optically active surfaces of the window elements are subsequently removed, whereupon a metal coating that is used for producing a solder connection to the housing is applied to the generated portions having no coating, and the window elements are separated from the substrate material.

  • Component support
    Patent number: 7466559
    Abstract: A component support having two or more module carriers aligned with each other in a direction across a width of a component support. The module carriers have two insert card guidance devices connected with each other via a support element so that guides of the insert card guidance devices, which extend in the direction of the depth of the component support, form receivers for one or several insert cards. The insert cards are electrically connected to a rear support by plug-in connections, and the module carriers are releasably connected with the support so that the removal of a single arbitrary module carrier from the row of the module carriers is possible. The component can be individually matched in a simple manner to different applications.

  • Method of and device for and computer program for accessing data
    Patent number: 7466443
    Abstract: A method and a device for accessing data wherein the data is sequentially stored as data objects. The data objects are identified by a control variable having consecutive integer values. The control variable and the memory address is determined of a first known data object and an estimate for the size of a data object is determined therefrom. The control variable of the requested data object is multiplied by the estimate, as a result whereof an initial value for a memory address of the requested data object is formed. The actual control variable of the data object stored under the initial value is determined, the search for the requested data object being terminated in the case of correspondence between the actual control variable and the desired control variable, and otherwise the search is continued.
