  • Patent number: 8057884
    Abstract: A glass pane is provided. A marking field that includes an uneven surface structure is located on a limited area of a smooth side surface of the glass pane. The limited area is smaller than a total area of the side surface of the glass pane, and the uneven surface structure is more rough than portions of the side surface of the glass pane that are outside of the limited area of the side surface of the glass pane. A marking layer is located on the marking field so as to create an intimate adhesive bond between the marking layer and the marking field. The marking layer includes a color containing a thermochromic pigment that visually indicates that a heat treatment has been carried out on the glass pane by being irreversibly modified at a temperature at which the heat treatment is conducted.

  • Patent number: 7615253
    Abstract: A method for visual marking of heat-treated substrates, in particular tempered glass panes. The method modifies a marking layer deposited on a surface of the substrate, that visually indicates that the heat treatment has been carried out, and produces a rough marking field on the surface of the substrate that the marking layer deposited on the substrate exhibits intimate adhesive bonding thereto, which marking layer cannot be completely removed using a mechanical mechanism.

  • Patent number: 6602077
    Abstract: A handle assembly for a motor-vehicle door latch has an adapter plate shaped to fit on a motor-vehicle door and forming a pivot and a seat, an electrical connector sleeve snugly fittable in the seat, and a handle having an arm fittable in the connector sleeve and with the pivot. The handle is movable between a partially installed position and a fully installed position. In the partially installed position the arm snugly engages in the connector, the connector is snugly fitted in the seat, and the arm is out of engagement with the pivot. In the fully installed position the arm is still engaged snugly in the connector but the connector is pulled out of the seat, and the arm is in pivotal engagement with the pivot and pivotal about the pivot jointly with the connector sleeve.

  • Patent number: 4035460
    Abstract: A technique for producing one or more shaped bodies of semiconductor material using the steps of depositing a layer of the semiconductor material from the gas phase onto the outer surface of a heated, hollow carrier body, or onto the mutually remote surfaces of two carrier bodies spaced from one another, and thereafter removing the carrier body or bodies from the layer or layers so formed. Each carrier body is heated indirectly by a heater body located within said hollow carrier body, or between said spaced carrier bodies, and heated to a temperature above the deposition temperature of the semiconductor material.

  • Patent number: 4015922
    Abstract: For the manufacture of tubular bodies of semiconductor material, particularly of silicon, by the precipitation of a layer in the form of a hollow cylinder on a rod or tube-shaped,electrically heated carrier in a reaction gas suitable for the deposition of the semiconductor in question, with subsequent separation of the semiconductor layer from the carrier, the carrier is differentially heated in such a manner that the generated hollow-cylinder layer is given an annular, bead-like reinforcement; the separation of the tube obtained into parts is achieved by a cut made within the reinforcement.

  • Patent number: 3943218
    Abstract: A method of producing shaped hollow semiconductor members, as of silicon or silicon carbide by depositing a select semiconductor material from a gaseous compound onto a heated graphite substrate which is first heat-treated above 1300.degree. C. in a flowing gas atmosphere, preferably a mixture of H.sub.2 and SiHCl.sub.3 so as to modify the surface characteristics of the substrate whereby the deposited semiconductor material does not interact with the substrate so that the substrate may be reused.
