Abstract: Aspects are disclosed for a piezoelectric device and a method of manufacturing a piezoelectric device. For example, the piezoelectric device can include a substrate, a piezoelectric layer, and an electrode formed on the substrate. The electrode includes a conductive layer and a conductive protective layer that is different from the conductive layer. The piezoelectric device can further include an interconnect formed on the piezoelectric layer over the conductive protective layer of the electrode. The interconnect provides an electrical path from the electrode to the piezoelectric layer.

Abstract: A device for transmitting a torque produced by a drill to a drill bit includes a shank and a tool fitting. The shank has a first outer conical region, a groove region, and a second outer conical region and has longitudinal grooves. The tool fitting has a basic body which has a rotary driving region with outer rotary driving grooves, an intermediate element which has an inner driver region with inner rotary drivers and an outer driver region with outer rotary drivers, and a locking device. In the connected state, the inner rotary drivers engage in the longitudinal grooves and the outer rotary drivers engage in the outer rotary driving grooves. Lower rotary drivers are arranged on the base surface of the intermediate element where the lower rotary drivers, in the connected state, interact with lower rotary driving grooves in the rotary driving region of the basic body.
