  • Patent number: 8541317
    Abstract: A substrate is mounted onto an elevated substrate support of a substrate carrier plate. The substrate carrier plate with the substrate is then placed in a plasma reactor. Due to the elevated substrate support, both opposite sides of the substrate are exposed to the plasma and are therefore coated with an electrical passivation layer.

  • Publication number: 20130229642
    Abstract: The invention describes a long-range optical device (1) with two observation parts (3, 4) and a first observation beam path (11; 12) and a measurement beam path (25), in which the two observation parts (3,4) are arranged essentially parallel next to each other and spaced a predefinable distance (10) apart via at least one connection element (7). In a plan view of the device 1 with respect to a plane, in which the longitudinal axes (8, 9) of the observation parts (3, 4) are arranged, the sub-regions of the observation parts (3, 4) facing each other lie directly opposite each other over a length aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis (8, 9) of the observation parts (3, 4) of 20% to 90%, preferably 30% to 80% of a length (24) of the observation parts (3, 4). In addition, the observation beam path (11, 12) and the measurement beam path (25) are arranged outside the sub-regions (22, 23) of the observation parts (3, 4).

  • Publication number: 20120298749
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining a replacement distance when taking aim on a target (2) with a target distance D (6) and an elevation angle ? (5) between a line of sight (4) to the target (2) and a horizontal plane (3) with a weapon (9) in order to fire projectiles with an approximately flat trajectory. The replacement distance is determined from the target distance D (6) by means of a correction function, and the correction function is determined exclusively from non-ballistic characteristic values and at least as a function of the target distance D (6) and the difference in angle between the elevation angle ? (5) and the shooting angle.

  • Patent number: 8034435
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plastic film with an interference multilayer system applied thereon that comprises at least two layers. Said layers can be obtained by hardening and/or applying thermal treatment to a coating composition containing nanoscale inorganic solid particles having polymerizable and/or polycondensable organic surface groups, thereby forming a layer that is crosslinked by means of the polymerizable and/or polycondensable organic surface groups. The films can be used as an optical laminating film.

  • Publication number: 20100050730
    Abstract: A method of making a tempered part has the steps of first heating a metal blank to above a first predetermined temperature and then preshaping the heated blank while still above the first temperature. The preshaped blank is then reheated to a second tempering temperature, and the reheated blank is given its final shape while still above the second temperature in a press. The blank with its final shape is cooled below the second tempering temperature while still in the press.
