Abstract: The invention is a method for permanent connection of two components by soldering employing a glass or metal solder as the solder material. A layer system providing adhesion is applied to both components, between which the solder material is introduced. the layer system is heated to a soldering temperature characteristic for the solder material and results in a permanent solder connection between both components after cooling. The layer system providing adhesion has an adhesive layer applicable directly to the component and a solderable layer. The adhesive layer, if a glass solder is used, contains oxidic, carbidic, or nitridic components or mixed compounds thereof and, if a metal solder is used, the adhesive layer contains carbidic or nitridic components or mixed compounds thereof.

Abstract: A method is described for producing a glass pane having at least one edge section delimiting the glass pane, for whose production the glass pane has been severed along the edge section with the aid of a severing procedure comprising a thermal energy introduction. The invention of the glass pane is enclosed at least sectionally and preferably along the entire edge section by a sheath immediately after production of the at least one edge section using a severing procedure comprising a thermal energy introduction.

Abstract: The invention is a method for producing a tool which can be used to create optically active surface structures in the sub-?m range, having a support surface onto which relief surface structures are applied over the support surface by means of material deposition. The invention is distinguished by the support surface being directly contacted with a mask in which openings with diameters in the sub-?m range are provided or can be provided, by the support surface including the mask being subjected to a coating process in which the coating material deposits through the openings of the mask onto the support surface, and the mask is removed from the support surface when a partial amount of an average end structure height of the surface structures is reached and the coating procedure is then continued without the mask using the same coating material or different coating materials.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a tool, and a tool which can be used to create optically active surface structures in the sub-&mgr;m range. Said tool comprises a support surface to which surface structures are applied by depositing material, said surface structures being raised in relation to the support surface. The invention is characterised in that the support surface is in-directly bonded with a mask (2) in which openings (3) having diameters in the sub-&mgr;m range are provided or can be placed; the support surface and the mask are subjected to a coating process during which coating material is deposited onto the support surface via the openings (3) in the mask; the mask is removed from the support surface when a partial amount of the average height of the end structure pertaining to the surface structures is obtained; and the coating process is continued without a mask and with similar or different coating material.

Abstract: For manufacturing a glass article for precision-optical purposes, a preform is provided which is unwrought relating to the desired shape of the glass article to be manufactured and exhibits within the surface areas serving for the formation of optical effective planes a high surface quality. The preform is pressed at a sufficiently high temperature in a mold, the function layers of which, serving for the formation of the optical suitable planes are hard and wear resistant, optionally containing hard nitrides and/or carbides, being mechanically unwrought structureless thin layers coated by cathode sputtering, for example, on a working surface of the basis of the mold. At the beginning of the pressing process, the preform and at least one of the function layers of the mold exhibit a difference in temperature amounting at least to 30 K, but less than a value where inhomogeneities in and/or surface defects on the glass molding may be produced.
