Abstract: An arrangement of a substrate with at least one optical waveguide and with an optical coupling location for coupling in and/or coupling out an optical a radiation into and/or out of the at least one optical waveguide, and of at least one optoelectronic component which is assembled on the substrate and a method for manufacturing such an arrangement is suggested. The optical coupling location is designed in a manner such that the radiation is coupled in and/or coupled out with a coupling-in and/or coupling-out angle of greater than 2° to the perpendicular to the substrate surface. The optoelectronic component is assembled over the coupling location on the substrate in a manner tilted obliquely to the substrate surface, wherein the tilt angle to this surface corresponds to the coupling-in angle and/or coupling out-angle.

Abstract: An optical coupling system having an optical coupler and a light-transmissive external medium, the optical coupler comprising a light guide which extends parallel to a main plane of the optical coupler, a mirror surface which is inclined relative to the main plane by an angle of inclination and an outer surface of the coupler which abuts on the medium, the waveguide.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for refining cellulose fibers in aqueous suspension, using a plurality of refiner fillings having refining edges, of which one is operated on at least one stator and another is operated on at least one rotor, and the suspension to be refined is processed between the two refiner fillings. A partial flow of the suspension delivered to the outlet side flows back on the back side of the refiner filling on the stator side, and then flows through openings located between the refining edges of the refiner filling on the stator side, and again into the refining zone. This leads to particularly uniform and economical refining.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for generating gas-phase active chemical species suitable for selectively processing one side of a textile or nonwoven material are described. Processing includes etching or stripping coatings, as examples. A low-temperature plasma is used to produce an ionized gas containing radical species, atoms, ions, and electrons, some of which are suitable for removing or modifying the coating. For the purposes of the present invention, the plasma may be generated in a vacuum, or at atmospheric pressure. Dielectric-barrier discharges, atmospheric-pressure plasma jets, micro hollow-cathode discharges, coronas, or plasmas produced by a microwave discharge or laser-supplied energy may be used to generate the required species.

Abstract: Apparatus for the processing of materials involving placing a material either placed between an radio-frequency electrode and a ground electrode, or which is itself one of the electrodes. This is done in atmospheric pressure conditions. The apparatus effectively etches or cleans substrates, such as silicon wafers, or provides cleaning of spools and drums, and uses a gas containing an inert gas and a chemically reactive gas.

Abstract: A non-arcing atmospheric pressure plasma processing reactor that includes a wafer platform that is electrically conductive and operatively placed near at least one radio frequency electrode to allow the creation of an electric field. An rf power supply is electrically attached to both the radio frequency electrode and the wafer platform to create said electric field for generation of said non-arcing atmospheric pressure plasma. A process gas supply comprising a mixture of 90% to 99% support gas to 1 % to 10% reactive gas is supplied to the electric field to generate the atmospheric pressure plasma.

Abstract: A plant and a process for crushing and mash production is provided wherein the raw material to be processed is broken up and mashed in a mill system. Prior to the mill system (1) being filled with the material (6) to be crushed the mill system is filled with an inert gas from a gas reservoir (13) so that the atmospheric oxygen in the mill system (1) is substantially displaced. After the mill system (1) has been filled, the latter is sealed in substantially gas-tight manner and the raw material (6) is ground and mashed in, subject to exclusion of atmospheric oxygen.

Abstract: A process for producing a fitting for the mechanical processing of aqueous fiber stock and a fitting made by the process. The fitting includes at least one base body and at least one processing element. The process includes producing at least one hard material body which forms at least a portion of the at least one processing element, and penetrating the at least one hard material body with a binder and permanently bonding the at least one hard material body and the binder.

Abstract: A device for the feeding of mash into a lauter tun is provided with a mash pump, a main pipe (12) which is connected to the mash pump and at least two partial stream pipes (6) which connect the main pipe (12) to a feed opening (19) in the lauter tun (2) in each case. When the mash pump is in operation, mash is fed from a mash container into the lauter tun (2) via the main pipe (12) and the partial stream pipes (6). To enable the mash to flow into the lauter tun (2) in as uniform a manner as possible a buffer vessel (22) is arranged between the main pipe (12) and the partial stream pipes (6).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for depositing an underlayer and/or a magnetic thin film layer on a data storage disk are described. The sputtering power is supplied in the form of pulses during the application of the underlayer and/or magnetic storage to periodically ignite the plasma and increase the charge-carrier density in the sputtering chamber. The repetition frequency and parameters for the pulses and pauses between pulses are adjusted to achieve a desired nominal value for the coercive field strength of the magnetic layer. Preferably the repetition frequency of the power switching is from 10 to 80 kHz and the ratio of pulse length to pulse pause is within 5:1 to 1:5.

Abstract: A mechanical four wheel drive tractor having a solenoid valve which is de-energized to effect engagement of drive to the front wheels in a predetermined operational mode. Normally, the valve is controlled by an operator switch but when the engine is overloaded and exhaust gas temperature rises, a thermal sensor breaks the circuit to the solenoid valve so that four wheel drive is automatically engaged. This action is restricted to a low gear range by a switch linked to the mechanism selecting between the low range and a high range. Restriction to a low gear range prevents unwanted automatic four wheel drive engagement from occuring in other gear ranges without regard to vehicle speed. Automatic engagement of four wheel drive reduces the overload on the transmission.
