Abstract: Disclosed is a method of improving the immunity to interference of an integrated circuit (16) having error signals transferred between a microprocessor chip or multiple processor ?C (1) and an additional component (2). For the transfer, a minimum pulse length that is independent of the clock frequency of the microprocessor or the microprocessors is defined, starting from which a signal on an error line having a defined pulse length is interpreted as an error. Also disclosed is an integrated circuit, which is designed so that the above method is implemented. The circuit has a microprocessor chip or multiple processor microcontroller (1) or microprocessor module and an additional component (2) having separately arranged power elements. The circuit also has pulse extending devices and/or signal delaying devices for the output of error pulses (6, 6?) one after the other through at least one error line (3, 4).

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for joining together substrates, which have an inner hole, to form a substrate disk. An expandable element is introducible into the inner hole of at least two superimposed substrates. The element is expandable to such an extent that it can come into contact with the inner holes of both of the substrates to close off an intermediate space formed between the substrates relative to the environment. A substrate support is rotatable about an axis of rotation perpendicular to a support surface thereof. A centering device is rotatably coupled with the substrate support and is movable relative thereto in the direction of the axis of rotation. The expandable element is disposed, and is compressible, between the substrate support and the centering device.

This holding arrangement is usable with many cameras and binoculars or monoculars. A rapid change between the camera positioned forward of the ocular and a cleared ocular is made possible for the direct viewing by the user through the glass (binocular or monocular).

Abstract: A substrate-coating system and an associated substrate-heating method, wherein the substrate-coating system is equipped with a substrate holder (1, 2) for holding at least one substrate at a coating position where it is coated on a coating side, and with a substrate heater (5, 6). The method includes heating at least one substrate that has been brought into such a system while it is being coated. The substrate heater includes a backside heater (6) for actively heating the substrate from its backside, i.e., that side opposite the side to be coated, while it is at its coating position. A heat-conducting element that is brought into thermal contact with a surface of the substrate may also be provided. Heater power is then regulated, based on the difference between the actual substrate temperature and a preset, desired, substrate temperature, and thereby limited such that the temperature of the heat-conducting element will not excessively increase over that of the substrate.

Abstract: Parallel flow chemical processing systems, such as parallel flow chemical reaction systems are disclosed. These systems are adapted to simultaneously and independently vary temperature between separate flow channels, preferably by employing separate, individual heating elements in thermal communication with each of four or more parallel flow reactors. The flow reactors are preferably isolated from each other using a thermal isolation system comprising fluid-based heat exchange. In preferred embodiments, the axial heat flux can be fixedly or controllably varied.

Abstract: Known static micromixers that work according to the principle of multilamination allow for a rapid mixing by diffusion. The invention provides a means for substantially increasing the throughput of known micromixers. To this end, the inventive micromixer for mixing two or more reactants comprises microstructures that define mixer cells. Each of said mixer cells is provided with a feeding chamber which adjoins at least two groups of digital channels. Said channels intermesh with the digital channels of the groups adjoining the feeding channels in a comb-like manner, thereby producing mixing zones]. Outlet ports are located above said mixing zones, said outlet ports extending perpendicularly to the digital channels and discharging the product. The inventive micromixer is especially useful for the large-scale production of mixtures, dispersions and emulsions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a disk motor with an armature disk, which is rotatably mounted and provided with permanent magnets, and with a stator which comprises a stator plate which is equipped with coils. The aim of the invention is to provide a disk motor that is as flat as possible and that is characterized by an improved smoothness of running. To this end, an annular soft-magnetic prestressing device is arranged concentrically on the stator plate in such a manner that at least one section of the prestressing device is located below the coil window of the coils in the axial direction. The armature disk may support an annular flux-return element opposite which the annular prestressing device is located in the radial direction. Said prestressing device has a cross-sectional contour that guides the magnetic lines of electric flux from the annular flux-return element to the coil window.
