Abstract: Exemplary vehicle truck bed assemblies may include a unibody construction. A cargo box of an exemplary truck bed assembly may include at least two different floor-to-side wall mating configurations, and each of the at least two different mating configurations is non-visible from within a cargo space established by the cargo box. In addition, each of the at least two different mating configurations may include a fastener, such as a weld, an adhesive, and/or a bolt, for adjoining adjacent mating surfaces of the cargo box floor and side wall.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical machine (1) comprising a rotor (4) which is rotatably mounted around a rotation axis (5) extending in the axial direction (3) in bearing devices (16, 17), a stator (7) having two axial ends, an air gap between rotor and stator, an interior chamber (10) encompassing the stator (7) and rotor (4), a sleeve (11) encompassing a first part (111) which encloses the interior chamber (10), a frame (12) having a first (123) and a second (121) longitudinal support (123), a first (122) and a second (124) cross-support, and a dividing device (2) on the frame (12). The stator (7) comprises a fastening device (15) for connection to the frame (12) and the dividing device (2) can make the interior chamber accessible from the outside in a plane parallel to the frame (12). The invention further relates to a collection, to a frame (12), to a sleeve (11), or to a service or production method of such an electrical machine (1).

Abstract: A stator for a rotating electric machine includes a laminate stack having a plurality of slots open towards an air gap between the stator and a rotor of the electric machine. A winding includes coils which have turns that pass through the slots of the laminate stack. The turns of the coils are electrically insulated the within the slots from each other and from the laminate stack by a ceramic material.

Abstract: After bonding a second substrate to a first substrate through a bonded material layer to provide a bonded structure, through dielectric via (TDV) openings of different depths are concurrently formed in the bonded structure by performing a single anisotropic etch using fluorine-deficient species that are obtained by dissociation of fluorocarbon-containing molecules.

Abstract: Methods of patterning conductive layer with a mask are described. The methods include low-ion-mass sputtering of the conductive layer by accelerating (e.g. helium or hydrogen containing ions) toward a substrate which includes the patterned mask and the underlying conductive layer. The sputtering processes described herein selectively remove conductive layers while retaining mask material.

Abstract: Methods of removing copper residue from interior surfaces of an etch process chamber are described. A plasma treatment using halogen-containing precursors transforms the copper residue into halogen-copper complexes. Plasma-excited inert gases are used to desorb the halogen-copper complexes. In this way, the copper residue is removed from the interior surfaces of the etch process chamber.

Abstract: The invention concerns an element to be driven, a driving element designed to be urged into engagement with the element to be driven and an actuating element adapted to move the driving element so that it drives the element to be driven in step-by-step displacement, the driving element and the actuating element being formed by etching in a semiconductor material wafer. The invention is characterized in that it comprises elastic prestressing means for maintaining the driving element in contact with the element to be driven.

Abstract: A device comprising an element to be driven and a driving element designed to be urged into engagement with the element to be driven and an actuating element adapted to generate a reciprocating movement to move the driving element, the driving element and the actuating element being formed by etching in a semiconductor material block, are provided. During a first alternation (a) of the movement generated by the actuating element, the driving element is urged into engagement with the element to be driven to pull the element to be driven. During a second alternation (b) in the opposite direction generated by the actuating element, the driving element slides on the element to be driven, such that the element to be driven is displaced in a step-by-step movement by the driving element.
