Abstract: A flexible multi-layer getter with a gas-permeable layer covering a gas reservoir layer. In an embodiment, the gas-permeable layer covers part of the gas reservoir layer. In another embodiment, a barrier covers part of the gas reservoir layer. The barrier may include a foil substrate, a passivation layer, or a gas-permeable layer.

Abstract: A multi-layer composite getter is described. Also described is a method for the manufacturing of the multi-layer composite getter and electrochemical devices for energy storage that employ the multi-layer composite getter.

Abstract: A process is provided for manufacturing micromechanical devices formed by joining two parts together by direct bonding. One of the parts (12) is made of silicon and the other one is made of a material chosen between silicon and a semiconductor ceramic or oxidic material. The joint between the two parts forms a cavity (14) containing the functional elements of the device (11), possible auxiliary elements and a getter material deposit (13).

Abstract: Vacuum panel comprising a discontinuous or porous filling material (5) enclosed between at least two barrier sheets (6) mutually joined along the edges, between which are gas-tightly arranged one or more rheophores (7, 7′) suitable for electrically powering at least one device (1, 2, 3, 3′, 4, 4′) arranged inside the vacuum panel, in particular a sensor for measuring the pressure (P) of the residual gases in the panel itself.

Abstract: An evacuated jacket for thermal insulation comprises a discontinuous or porous, organic or inorganic filling material arranged inside an envelope made with at least one multi-layer barrier sheet (1) of substantially rectangular shape, which comprises at least one polymeric or inorganic central layer (2) having barrier properties towards atmospheric gases, an upper layer (4) and a lower layer (3), both of a polymeric material. The polymeric material which forms said upper layer (4) and the polymeric material which forms said lower layer (3) of the barrier sheet (1) are mutually heat-sealable and said barrier sheet (1) is folded up so as to superimpose two opposite sides (5, 6) thereof which are welded to each other by melting said upper layer (4) at one margin (6) and said lower layer (3) at the other margin (5). The present invention also relates to a process for manufacturing said evacuated jacket for thermal insulation.
