Abstract: Closure element having two brackets which are substantially perpendicular or transverse with respect to one another. The closure element closes a ball socket, with the result that a pivot therein cannot be removed. To this end, it closes the opening of the ball socket. The ball socket and the pivot with the closure element form a secured ball joint which is used for wiping systems. The securing is carried out by the closure element being pushed onto the ball joint.

Abstract: A method for the process programming of a household appliance includes the following steps: receiving a sequential program by the household appliance; checking the sequential program with respect to a predetermined device condition by the household appliance; and releasing the sequence of the sequential program in the household appliance as a function of the result of the check.

Abstract: A roofing tile composed of concrete material and a method for producing such a roofing tile. The concrete material contains a binder, a gravel, a light-weight aggregate, and added water. The roofing tile has at least one watercourse and a lateral interlocking joint having a covering fold and a water fold. The ratio of water to binder is less than 0.3, the light-weight aggregate is composed of a material that is hydrophobic and/or not hygroscopic, and the roofing tile has a density in the range of 1.6 g/cm3 to 1.9 g/cm3 after the hardening. The roofing tile has a thickness of 5 mm to 9 mm, preferably 7 mm to 8 mm, in the highly loaded regions, preferably in the region of the watercourse.

Abstract: A macro lens system includes, in this order from an object side: a positive first lens group; a negative second lens group; a positive third lens group; a positive fourth lens group; a positive fifth lens group; and a negative sixth lens group. The first lens group is constituted by three lenses. The second lens group, the fourth lens group, and the fifth lens group are independently moved in the direction of the optical axes thereof when focusing from an object at infinity to an object at a most proximate distance.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a device for plasma treating workpieces (5). Said workpiece is inserted into a chamber (7) of a treatment station (3), which can be at least partly evacuated, and is positioned within the treatment station by means of a holding element. In order to simultaneously supply at least two chambers with at least one operating means, a flow of the operating means is branched at least once so as to form at least two partial flows (55).

Abstract: A new roofing tile with enhanced surface durability and processes for manufacturing the same. The abstract of the disclosure is submitted herewith as required by 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b). As stated in 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b): A brief abstract of the technical disclosure in the specification must commence on a separate sheet, preferably following the claims, under the heading “Abstract of the Disclosure.” The purpose of the abstract is to enable the Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and gist of the technical disclosure. The abstract shall not be used for interpreting the scope of the claims. Therefore, any statements made relating to the abstract are not intended to limit the claims in any manner and should not be interpreted as limiting the claims in any manner.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for coating workpieces by plasma-induced chemical vapor deposition, in which a process gas is introduced into a coating chamber and a plasma is ignited by electromagnetic energy in at least one region of the coating chamber which adjoins the workpiece and in which the process gas is present, wherein the coating operation is monitored on the basis of at least one measured spectral parameter of the plasma, and the workpiece is removed in the event of a deviation from a desired range for the parameter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of operating an electrical discharge device (12) comprising at least one first electrode (14) and at least one second electrode (16) at a distance therefrom, which electrodes are electrically connected to a power supply (18) and, upon ignition of a first gas discharge (22) between the electrodes (14, 16), transmit an electrical current (I), as a result of which a plasma (24) is produced in a working gas (26), which plasma emits radiation (28), in particular extreme ultraviolet and/or soft X-ray radiation, which is passed via a solid angle (30) into a chamber (32) outside the electrodes (14, 16). In order to prevent erosion at the electrodes (14, 16), it is proposed that the formation of a secondary plasma (34) in the chamber (32) is suppressed by a device (42).
