Abstract: A contact element includes an electrically conductive carrier body with at least one contact surface for contacting at least one electrical conductor, wherein the at least one contact surface comprises a spray coating made of electrically conductive solid particles distributed over the at least one contact surface. The presence and distribution of the solid particles lead to a reduction in the contact resistance between the contact element and the at least one conductor when the contact element is pressed with the at least one contact surface against the at least one conductor and the solid particles have there penetrated at least in part into the material of the at least one conductor. A connection assembly may be provided with such a contact element. A spray medium as well as a method for manufacturing such a contact element are further provided.

Abstract: A method for treating an electrically conductive contact element includes applying a lubricant to at least a partial region of a contact surface of the electrically conductive contact element. The contact surface is metallic. The contact surface is changed by plasma treatment to produce a coating of a solid lubricant on the partial region of the contact surface.

Abstract: A measuring element for registering forces includes a first measuring arm extending in a longitudinal direction of the measuring element, a second measuring arm extending in the longitudinal direction, a deformation section connecting the first measuring arm and the second measuring arm to one another in an elastically deformable manner, and a transformer unit arranged on a first side or a second side of the deformation section. The first measuring arm and the second measuring arm can be deflected relative to one another in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The transformer unit responds to deformation and is situated fully within the deformation section.

Abstract: The invention permits the particularly simple, rapid and economic application of measuring elements (100) to objects to be measured (200). This is ensured by means of the integration of a functional material (140) on the connecting surface (113) of a measuring element (100). The mechanical connection is produced by activating the functional material (140). In this way, for example, the application times for strain sensors are drastically reduced. Furthermore, a defined thickness of the remaining functional material (140) is implemented and therefore reproducible properties of the connection are ensured.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for magnetizing the convergence device of a color-picture tube including electrically excitable coils disposed around the tube neck and having their axes located in the convergence device plane. The cross sections of the coils in the convergence-device plane are greater than those perpendicular to this plane. This adaptation of the symmetry of the magnetizing coils to the symmetry of the convergence device makes it possible to exert a strong influence on the convergence device.
