Abstract: In a method of bonding components, a poly-o-hydroxyamide is applied to each of the bond areas of the components to be bonded. After the bond areas have been bonded to one another the adhesively bonded assembly is heated in order to convert the poly-o-hydroxyamide to the corresponding polybenzoxazole. The adhesive bonding technology is able to replace conventional joining techniques, such as welding, brazing or shrink fitting. The method is especially suitable for producing X-ray image intensifiers.

Abstract: In a radiographic image intensifier having an input window, and a method for its production, an intermediate layer is deposited on a substrate for a luminous layer, thereby smoothing the surface of the substrate. This intermediate layer serves to smooth the surface of the substrate and is thus a good base for a uniform growth of the crystal structure of the luminous layer.

Abstract: A magnetic storage device which includes a magnetizable storage disk, a read/write magnetic head arranged on a flying body and a track guidance system has a servo head formed on a long side face of the flying body in the form of a magneto restrictive sensor. Subsequent electronics keep the head on at least one separate guidance track.

Abstract: A magnetic thin-film head for a recording medium that can be magnetized vertically comprises a ring head-like conduction body which carries the magnetic flux and is applied to a nonmagnetic substrate. The conduction body has two magnet legs, the end pole pieces of which are arranged with a small gap width from each other and which have leg parts which are spaced wider than the gap width, and between which the turns of a write/read coil winding extend. This magnetic head provide manufacturing advantages, can be produced with high reproducibility and provides a high efficiency in the write and read function. The substrate is equipped with a depression, in which, at least largely, the leg part of one of the magnet legs and the turns of the write/read coil winding are disposed.

Abstract: A magnetic thin-film head with layer-wise buildup on a nonmagnetic substrate is provided for a recording medium which can be magnetized perpendicularly (vertically), and contains a conduction body which carries the magnetic flux, and the magnet legs of which form a main and an auxiliary pole. With these magnet legs which are arranged on the substrate with predetermined spacing side by side, a write/read coil winding is associated, the conductor turns of which extend through a space formed between the magnet legs. This magnetic head should be able to fly at a very small flying altitude above the recording and should at the same time be easy to realize in a thin film technique. To this end, it is provided that only the partially overlapping magnet legs serve as the magnetic conduction body, which are connected together in their common overlap zone, forming a magnetic return in a partial region and are spaced outside of this return region, forming the intermediate space for the conductors.

Abstract: A magnetic thin-layer head with a stratified build-up on a nonmagnetic substrate for a recording medium which can be magnetized perpendicularly (vertically), comprises a ring-head-like magnetic conduction body for carrying the magnetic flux. The conduction body has two magnet legs, of which the poles facing the recording medium are arranged in tandem as seen in the direction of motion of the head and having a predetermined spacing from each other. An at least largely flat read/write coil winding is provided, the turns of which extend through a space formed between the magnet legs. In this magnetic head, a switchable write/read function with a sufficiently large read voltage is obtainable. In addition to the write/read coil winding, a further coil winding is provided only for executing the write function, the turns of which are at least in part arranged in a region outside of the ring-head-like conduction body.

Abstract: A magnetic write/read head for a recording medium to be magnetized perpendicularly is disclosed. The head contains a conduction body for carrying the lines of magnetic flux, two pole legs which are arranged adjacent the other in the direction of relative motion of the head and medium and having a predetermined distance from each other. At least one coil winding is associated with the two pole legs. The magnetic head is of a mechanical design which ensures a switchable write and read function with high efficiency. One of the two pole legs has a region of reduced cross section. A separate coil winding is associated with each pole leg and, for performing the write function, this region can be driven into magnetic saturation by means of a coil winding which is associated with the pole leg having the region of reduced cross section.

Abstract: A pressure-sensitive transducer arrangement comprises a matrix of transducer elements which are formed at the points of intersection of row conductors (35, 36) and column conductors (5 to 7). A flat substrate (2) is provided with column conductors (5 to 7), each of which is covered with a similarly-structured piezoceramic material as a dielectric medium (15 to 17). This piezoceramic material is separated from the row electrodes (35, 36) by empty spaces (24 to 26). Due to bilateral spacing of less than 100 micrometers for the row conductors and column conductors, a sensor matrix is produced with a dense packing of pressure-sensors functioning as capacitors which are formed at the cross-points of the row and column conductors. These sensors are particularly adapted for use in the gripping device of an industrial robot and make it possible to detect and determine the position of robot workpieces.

Abstract: An ultrasonic transducer arrangement having a matrix of oscillators, each such ultrasonic oscillator being formed of a matrix of columnar transducer elements which are electrically controlled together. The spaces between the individual transducer elements are filled with a filler material having an acoustic impedance which substantially differs from the acoustic impedance of the ultrasonic oscillator material from which the transducer elements are formed. The ultrasonic oscillators are provided with electrode strips which are arranged in parallel rows on one flat side of the matrix. The other side of the matrix is provided with electrode strips in the form of parallel columns, so as to be transverse to the direction of the electrode strips on the first side. This arrangement permits high-packing density of the transducer elements, resulting in high resolution which enables line focusing and a close approximation of point focusing.

Abstract: An ultrasonic transducer arrangement having ultrasonic oscillators, with which electronic delay chains are associated, includes a matrix of column-like ultrasonic oscillators the end faces of which are each connected to control electrodes arranged in the planes of the flat sides of the matrix. On one flat side of the matrix, rows of the oscillators are each provided with a common control line and, on the opposite flat side of the matrix, the jointly controlled groups of ultrasonic oscillators each form a concentric arrangement. This test head can be used selectably as a focusing or as an angle test head and in addition, the focal point can also be displaced in depth.

Abstract: A method for ultrasonic fault localization, in which the fault is determined from the travel time of the ultrasound pulses and the echo pulses, in which an echo pulse reflected in the workpiece at a fault is received at three different points on the surface, the electronic echo pulses are electronically added in phase with a delay dependent on the different propagation times, and fed to an electronic time window such that during the open time of the time window, only echo pulses from the fault are picked up. The fault is displayed graphically as to size, position and shape.

Abstract: A current transfer brush which contains a sliding member is composed of graphite foils which are disposed in a stacked arrangement, at least some of which graphite foils are partially coated with an electrically conductive material. At least one thin mat or felt of highly graphitized graphite fibers is coated with an electrically conductive material and interposed between ajacent ones of the graphite foils in the stack. The interposition of such a graphite mat or felt produces a substantial reduction in the brush fire and brush abrasion which results when the brush is placed in electrical contact with a rotating contact member, such as a slip ring or a commutator, of an electric machine. The friction between the current transfer brush and the rotating contact element may be reduced in some embodiments by coating the graphite fibers in the graphite mat or felt with a friction reducing material.
