  • Patent number: 9009961
    Abstract: A metal housing part having multiple through openings, a glass filling being situated in each of the openings, each glass filling closing an opening hermetically sealed and enveloping a contact end, which extends through the opening and the glass filling and whose two ends protrude out of the glass filling and the opening, and to a method for manufacturing the metal housing part. The housing part is configured as trough-shaped, having a base wall, side walls, and a flange. Because of the trough-shaped design, the housing part maintains its original shape even when the housing part is subjected to high temperatures.

  • Publication number: 20110301566
    Abstract: A mobile medical pump has a tubular cartridge unit with a first end having an interface to an infusion line and a second, open end having a first engagement interface, with a piston inserted in the cartridge and engaging an inner diameter of the cartridge, such that translation of the piston within the cartridge will draw in or expel liquid to or from the cartridge, a case housing having an opening for inserting the cartridge and an internal second engagement interface at a depth that, with a cartridge fully inserted and the first and second engagement interfaces joined, an infusion line may be connected to the first end external to the case, and a piston rod within the case housing, the piston rod having a permanent magnet at a first end with a planar surface orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the piston rod, and a threaded opening at an opposite end engaging a rotatable translation screw driven by a translation drive system including an electric motor.

  • Patent number: 7773380
    Abstract: An electrical configuration having at least one component which has at least one current bar, particularly a lead frame, and having an electronic circuit which has at least one heat dissipation surface and at least one electric terminal that is connected mechanically and electrically to the current bar. It is provided that the unit made up of the component and the electronic circuit is mounted on a support layer that effects the heat dissipation in such a way that, because of the fastening of the component onto the support layer, the heat dissipation surface is pushed against the support layer, based on the spring property of the current bar.

  • Publication number: 20060182519
    Abstract: A one-piece spacer tube for receiving a fastener includes a tubular wall defining a central bore therebetween and a plurality of guiding indents integrally formed in the wall. The indents are arranged in pairs that are longitudinally spaced along the length of the wall. The guiding indents include guiding surfaces that project radially inwardly into the central bore to guide a fastener extending through the central bore.

  • Patent number: 4977019
    Abstract: An information recording element consists of one or two substrates, on each of which a magnetooptical recording layer enclosed on both sides by dielectric layers is applied. The composite consisting of substrate - dielectric layer-recording layer-dielectric layer is adhesively bonded to a further substrate or to a plastic layer by means of a flexible adhesive foam layer applied over the entire surface. In the case of adhesive bonding over the entire surface, air gaps are excluded. The thermal stability of the adhesive foam layer ranges from about -40.degree. C. to +150.degree. C. and the adhesive foam layer is resistant to solvents and plasticizers. The heat penetration coefficient of the adhesive foam layer is lower than the heat penetration coefficient of quick-curing adhesives and of polyurethane adhesives which cure by moisture absorption, and is less than about 450 W.s.sup.1/2 /K.m.sup.2.
