  • Publication number: 20240001502
    Abstract: A controller for controlling a motor of a drill comprising an output of a signal for controlling a speed of rotation of the motor, a processor for producing the signal, wherein the signal is automatically varied according to a waveform, wherein one or more characteristics of the waveform is determined by a material to be drilled and a diameter of the bit.

  • Publication number: 20060061079
    Abstract: A fastening device for a steering column module of a vehicle includes a housing bottom (30) coupled to an essentially tubular fastening flange (20), which module is mounted on the steering column jacket (10) of a steering spindle. The fastening flange (20) has at least one radially movable arresting block (40, 40?), which, in a fastening position of the fastening flange (20), engages in a corresponding radial recess (12, 12?) of the steering column jacket (10).

  • Patent number: 6550647
    Abstract: A multi-chamber bottle that can be made by a blowing process for separately holding different products, requiring only a single closure. The bottle may, for example, have two chambers with openings which are disposed inside the neck of the bottle. One of the opening is disposed coaxially with the neck. This allows a closure to be screwed or snapped onto the neck that is provided with a thread or a snap bead. In the process, the attachment penetrates the opening in a sealing manner. This creates two channels, which lead from the chambers to the outlet openings. The outlet openings can be closed with a cap.

  • Patent number: 5944967
    Abstract: A dual magnetron cathode assembly includes a pair of elongate, parallel targets in coplanar relationship fixed to respective magnetic yokes with associated rows of permanent magnets for producing a magnetic field over the targets. A common back plate is provided for both cathodes, a center shield plate extending from the back plate to between the targets, side shield plates and end shield plates likewise extending from the back plate to form side-by-side rectangular shielding enclosures which expose only the sputtering surface of the targets. The yokes are fixed with respect to the vacuum chamber by insulative holders which extend through openings in the back plate.

  • Patent number: 5616226
    Abstract: A pair of parallel elongate targets are fixed with respect to respective plates mounted in a vacuum chamber by means of clamps arranged along the longitudinal sides of each target, and an expandable wedge system between the rear plate and magnetic yokes on the backs of the targets. The wedge system for each target includes a wedge block having ramped surfaces which face outward, a pair of wedge jaws having ramped surfaces which slide against the ramped surfaces of the block, and a screw which draws the jaws together against the ramped surfaces of the block to expand the system and force the plate away from the yoke and fix the entire assembly in the clamps.

  • Patent number: 5232572
    Abstract: In a device for the releasable fastening of a target (3) or target base (5) together with a magnet yoke (31) on the cathode mounting of the process chamber in a cathode sputtering apparatus, the target base (5) is provided with locking toggles (11, . . . ) extending perpendicular to the target plane and able to enter through openings (42, . . . ) in the bottom of the magnet yoke (31) and cooperating with locking levers or disks journaled on the cathode mounting or arresting device (17) in the manner of a bayonet lock or of a bascular lock and after being turned pull the target base (5) tightly onto the cathode mounting or release the locking toggles (11, . . . ) so that the target (3) can be removed from the cathode mounting.
