Patent number: 8431477Abstract: A method for joining aligned discrete optical elements by which the optical elements can be joined in the aligned state. A thermal connection having long-term stability can be produced at little expense and with high positioning accuracy. Surface regions to be joined can be provided with at least one thin metallic layer by the method for joining aligned discrete optical elements.

Patent number: 7481352Abstract: The invention relates to a method for removing a plurality of raised places of contact made of a meltable metal, such as tin or indium or an alloy, such as tin-containing solder, silver-containing solder or lead-containing solder, the meltable metal being meltable above a first temperature limit, the places of contact being surface-distributed over a substrate. It is also possible to form vaulted domes on a plurality of metallic support segments which are located on one of the surfaces of a substrate. The invention aims at reducing production costs, particularly at removing a soldered layer once applied. If defective contact places occur, a plurality of the raised contact places, particularly substantially all contacts, are at least in substantial portions melted off from the substrate by contacting them with a molten metal.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2001Date of Patent: January 27, 2009Assignee: Pac Tech-Packaging Technologies GmbHInventors: Thorsten Teutsch, Elke Zakel
