  • Publication number: 20240263659
    Abstract: A releasable expansion bolt having an expansion sleeve with a first end, a second end, a cylindrical outer lateral surface and, on the inside, an inner cone section having a cross-sectional area that tapers towards the second end; a cone bolt with a cone section which interacts with the inner cone section for expanding the expansion sleeve as a result of an axial relative movement of the expansion sleeve and the cone bolt; and a tensioning device connected to the first end section of the expansion sleeve for adjusting the cone bolt in the axial direction relative to the expansion sleeve. The tensioning device comprises a pressure bolt held in a form-fitting manner in the axial direction in the area of the first end section of the expansion sleeve and adjustable in the axial direction relative to the expansion sleeve. An outer end of the pressure bolt has a foot opposite the driving contour that acts on the cone bolt when tightening the pressure bolt to expand the expansion sleeve.

  • Patent number: 10756081
    Abstract: The invention relates to an avalanche diode that can be employed as an ESD protection device. An avalanche ignition region is formed at the p-n junction of the diode and includes an enhanced defect concentration level to provide rapid onset of avalanche current. The avalanche ignition region is preferably formed wider than the diode depletion zone, and is preferably created by placement, preferably by ion implantation, of an atomic specie different from that of the principal device structure. The doping concentration of the placed atomic specie should be sufficiently high to ensure substantially immediate onset of avalanche current when the diode breakdown voltage is exceeded. The new atomic specie preferably comprises argon or nitrogen, but other atomic species can be employed. However, other means of increasing a defect concentration level in the diode depletion zone, such as an altered annealing program, are also contemplated.
