Abstract: A fire detection device and method therefor are able to provide automatic activation so as to extinguish a fire. The fire detection can be rapid and temperature-based. In one embodiment, a heat collector can be provided to enhance thermal responsiveness. Activation of the fire detection device can be electrically induced to release an extinguishing agent at the fire. The activation can be protected such that it is durable and unaffected by vibrations.

Abstract: Liquid precursor material of a coating substance and a solvent is provided in a reservoir (STEP1, STEP1?). In one variant the liquid precursor material is distilled (STEP2), the resultant liquid coating substance is vaporized (STEP3) and ejected through a vapor distribution nozzle arrangement (7) into a vacuum recipient (3) and onto substrate 5 to be coated. Alternatively, the liquid precursor material is directly vaporized (STEP3?). From the two-component vapor coating substance vapor is applied to substrate 5? to be coated. In this variant separation of solvent vapor and coating substance vapor is performed especially downstream vaporizing (STEP2?).
