Abstract: A slide bearing for a rotating anode has a stationary bearing part, and multiple rotatable bearing parts are arranged concentrically around the stationary bearing part or within the stationary bearing part. The bearing parts have bearing surfaces between which are located bearing gaps filled with a fluid medium. The sliding friction of slide bearings can be markedly lowered with fluids given rotation frequencies greater than 200 Hz. At the same time the excellent heat dissipation is retained.

Abstract: An anti-scatter grid for medical x-ray devices is provided. The anti-scatter grid comprising a number of first elements from a first material with second elements made from a second material integrated therein. In this case the first material is more transparent to radiation than the second material. The second elements are arranged in the first elements such that for stacking of the first elements a grid absorbing scattered radiation is formed by means of second elements for radiation arriving perpendicular to the direction of the stacking of the first elements. The advantage of this is that this anti-scatter grid is able to be produced simply and reliably with a large aspect ratio.

Abstract: A method for producing a high-Tc superconductor having a strip shape and having at least one superconductive conductor core by forming a conductor initial product and annealing. The forming is in this case intended to include at least two flattening steps. A flattening step which follows a preceding flattening step is intended to result in the percentage thickness reduction in the cross section of the at least one conductor core being greater than that from the preceding flattening step. The strip conductor produced in this way advantageously has a plurality of conductor cores that are embedded in a Ag material and are composed of a bi-cuprate.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for producing a strip-shaped superconductor with several conductor cores made of a high-Tc superconducting material and surrounded by a normal conducting material. A conductor blank (2a) produced from a fabricated conductor should be rolled flat at least once. For that purpose, the conductor blank is fed into the gap (7) between two rollers (8, 9) of which the rolling surfaces (8a, 9a) describe a concave, at least approximately elliptical contour at least in the rolling region (8a). The strip-shaped multi-core conductor produced in this way advantageously contains superconducting cores made of a bi-cuprate embedded in an Ag matrix.

Abstract: Process for producing an elongated superconductor with a bismuth phase having a high transition temperature and a superconductor produced according to this process. An elongated superconductor with at least one conductor core made of high-T.sub.c Bi-containing superconductor material with the 2212 or 2223 phase is to be manufactured. For this purpose, the cross section of a structure made of Ag matrix material and a precursor of the superconductor material is reduced. Subsequently the raw conductor thus obtained is annealed in an oxygen-containing atmosphere. According to this invention, a temperature variation between a higher temperature (T1) and a lower temperature (T2) is provided for the annealing. The higher temperature (T1) is at most 7 K above the decomposition temperature (Tz), and the lower temperature (T2) is at most 9 K below the decomposition temperature (Tz).

Abstract: A method for producing a structured layer of a first material having at least one recess of a predetermined geometrical shape on a substructure formed of at least one second material that includes a metal oxide superconductor material with a high transition temperature which is sensitive to solvents containing acids includes the steps of: forming a first composite by applying a varnish layer to the substructure which is soluble in a first solvent that does not attack the substructure such that the varnish layer has a structure corresponding to the structure of the structured layer of the first material to be produced; cold depositing on the first composite an auxiliary layer of a third material that is soluble in a second solvent which does not attack the first and second materials; forming a second composite from the first composite by removing with the first solvent the varnish layer along with a part of the auxiliary layer resting thereon; applying a coating layer of the first material to the second compos
