Abstract: In a method for producing three-dimensionally structured surfaces of objects as a reproduction of an original surface, the topology of the original surface is determined, and the data are used for controlling a machining tool. The determined topology and a random topology of a reproduction surface are brought closer to one another via a series of proximity comparisons until all items of height information of the reproduction surface are successively replaced by items of height information from the original surface, and that once an established similarity between the topologies of the reproduction surface and the original surface is obtained, the items of height information of the reproduction surface are provided for controlling the machine tool serving to machine the surface of the object.

Abstract: A method is provided for producing a molded part that is deep drawn from a thermoplastic foil. An outer surface of the thermoplastic foil is provided with a positive depth structure, under the effect of heat and pressure, by means of a stamping or embossing roller that has a negative depth structure. In at least one extent of a surface of the embossing roller, the negative depth structure of the roller is compressed in such surface regions thereof that effect a stretching of the foil during deep drawing. Subsequently, at least a portion of the foil is deep drawn.

Abstract: An injector for a fuel injection system is provided with an injector housing in which a piezoelectric stack is located and with a valve housing connected with the injector housing in which a valve closing device with a jet needle is displaceably located. The valve closing device can be actuated by the piezoelectric stack. The valve closing device can be reset by a return device. A hydraulic following amplifier is located between the piezoelectric stack and the jet needle of the valve closing device. The amplifier has a displacement piston actuated by the piezoelectric stack. A control piston located downstream from the displacement piston and increases the displacement travel. A working piston that actuates the jet needle and increases the actuating force.
