Abstract: The disclosure relates to a cleaning device for cleaning an application device which, in operation, applies at least one coating agent jet of a coating agent (e.g. paint) to a component (e.g. motor vehicle body component). The disclosure provides that a jet checking device is integrated into the cleaning device for checking the coating agent jet emitted by the application device, so that the cleaning device forms a structural unit with the jet checking device.

Abstract: To clean an atomizer used for automatic series-production coating of work pieces in a cleaning device provided for this purpose, the outer housing of the atomizer is sprayed by nozzles of the cleaning device, while simultaneously painting and rinsing agents sprayed by the spray head of the atomizer in a short rinsing process are captured and discharged through a pipe section in the interior of the cleaning device. In electrostatic atomizers, voltage equalization between the atomizer and the cleaning device is performed beforehand. Through additional measures, the atomizer can be moved by the handling machine provided for this purpose only from one proper direction towards the cleaning device.

Abstract: An optical system includes a laser oscillator or a laser amplifier. The optical system includes a gain medium that is optically coupled to a pump source. A solid cooling element is in physical contact with a cooling surface of the gain medium. The gain medium and cooling element are held together using a low temperature contacting method. In a one embodiment the gain medium is a thin disk gain medium, the solid cooling-element is made from CVD-diamond, and the low temperature bonding technique is surface activated bonding.

Abstract: Blends of crystalline EPDM rubbery polymers, high m.w. ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers and polyalphamethyl styrene exhibit good processing characteristics and physical properties. Part of the EVA may be replaced with low m.w. crystalline polyethylene. The addition of reinforcing agents will raise the modulus and other physical properties while still retaining favorable processing characteristics.
