Abstract: The invention relates to a furniture system, consisting of a height-adjustable chair and a height-adjustable table. According to the invention, the chair and the table can be height-adjusted synchronously by means of a common control device, wherein the height adjustment of the table and the height adjustment of the chair are synchronized with each other in such a way that, at different heights, an ideal distance between the tabletop and the seat surface of the chair is always maintained.

Abstract: Spectacles having a lens frame and arms connected thereto and a retaining strap which can be fastened to the spectacles. A receiving device is provided on the free end of at least one arm, which receiving device interacts with a connecting element to which a retaining strap is undetachably fastened, e.g. moulded on. A plurality of receiving devices can be disposed at predetermined positions between the front end of each arm and the free end thereof. This has the advantage that the retaining strap can be adapted individually to the shape of the head, the hair length and possible individual preferences of the wearer of the spectacles. Thus the retaining strap can be immovably fastened not only to the free end of the arm but also to a front end of the arm, that is to say where the arm adjoins the hinge, and all intermediate positions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for coating an insulation component (10), having PEEK, for insulating an electrically conductive heating cable (100) comprising the following steps: 1.) at least sectionally treating the surface of the insulation component (10) with at least one cold plasma flame, and 2.) applying at least one protective layer (20) to the treated surface of the insulation component (10).

Abstract: A rotating anode plate for rotating anode x-ray tubes, has a curved disc to be attached positively on a rotation center. The curved disc is formed of a material with high thermal shock resistance that is creep-resistant and simultaneously highly heat-conductive. Particularly suitable materials are ceramics made of silicon carbide (SiC) or alloys made of molybdenum-titanium-zirconium (TZM).

Abstract: A cathode has a cathode body with a surface emitter composed of an electrically conductive ceramic material. The cathode has a high electron emission and a long lifespan.

Abstract: A cathode has a thermionic emitter composed of a material that emits electrons upon being heated, and an emission layer, composed of a material that has a lower electron work function than the material of the thermionic emitter, is applied on said thermionic emitter so as to at least partially cover the thermionic emitter. Such a cathode has a high electron emission with simultaneously improved focusing and a longer lifespan.

Abstract: An x-ray anode has an emission layer and a carrier with carrier material to support the emission layer. The carrier material is a metallized carbon fiber material with a portion in which the fibers are specifically directed. A high heat dissipation from the emission layer and a coefficient of heat expansion of the carrier that is advantageous for bonding with the emission layer are achieved.

Abstract: A rotary anode x-ray radiator has an anode produced from a first material as well as a cathode. A structure for accommodation of at least one heat conductor element produced from a second material is provided on an external side of the anode facing away from the cathode, in an annular segment situated opposite the anode. The second material exhibits a higher heat conductivity than the first material. The heat conductor elements are accommodated in the structure to form expansion gaps.

Abstract: An active dynamic seating device is provided that includes a seat, a central part and a base part, where a stable sitting position is attained by additionally supporting one or both legs of a user. The seating device encompasses a tone generator, which emits a tone in response to carrying out a certain change of the sitting position. The seating device is particularly well-suited for, for example, carrying out gymnastics exercises.

Abstract: An x-ray tube has a cathode and an anode produced from a first material, the anode having a heat conductor element on the first side thereof facing away from the cathode.

Abstract: In a material bond for a composite product composed of a fiber-reinforced material and a further material, such as an anode for an x-ray tube, wherein the fibers of the fiber-reinforced material exhibit a preferred orientation, and wherein the magnitude of the coefficient of thermal expansion of the fiber-reinforced material is direction dependent and depends on the preferred orientation of the fibers, the preferred orientation of the fibers is aligned, at least in a boundary region between the fiber-reinforced material and the further material, such that the coefficient of thermal expansion of the fiber-reinforced material and the coefficient thermal expansion of the further material are approximately equal along this boundary region, in which the bond is formed.

Abstract: An x-ray tube has a cathode and an anode produced from a first material. In order to prevent unwanted accretions from forming due to the evaporation of the anode material, a layer produced from a second material is provided on the anode at the side thereof facing the cathode. The layer exhibits a lower vapor pressure than the first material at a temperature of 800° C.
