Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle tire (1), having a tread face (3), the tread face (3) having at least one new tire marking (4, 7, 8) of a surface (5) which is at least partially higher than the surrounded surface of the tread face (3). The invention also relates to a method for producing a vehicle tire (1) with at least one new tire marking (4, 7, 8), in particular a described vehicle tire (1), the vehicle tire (1) being produced in a tire heating mold (2), the tire heating mold (2) having at least one at least partially engraved negative of a new tire marking (10, 13, 14) in the region of the tread face (3). The invention further relates to a tire heating mold (2) for a described method for producing a vehicle tire (1) having at least one new tire marking (4, 7, 8), in particular a described vehicle tire (1), wherein the tire heating mold (2) has an engraved negative of a new tire marking (10, 13, 14) in the region of the tread face.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vulcanization mold for pneumatic vehicle tires with cast mold segments (1) forming a tread of a pneumatic vehicle tire, which at least have ribs (5, 6) for forming grooves in the tread and sipes (11) for forming incisions in the tread. The invention was based on the object of creating a vulcanization mold of the type described at the outset which, while retaining the inexpensive casting method for the mold segments, enables tread profiles to be formed with grooves and incisions, with the incisions being able to have chamfers in the transition to adjacent blocks in the tread profile and in which the manufacturing limitations described are minimized. This object is achieved in that the elements (5, 6, 11) for producing grooves and incisions are at least partially subsequently introduced into the mold segments (1) after the mold segments (1) have been cast.

Abstract: A method for producing a mold segment component of a vulcanizing mold for a pneumatic vehicle tire for forming at least one profile block or a region structured in a block-like manner of an altogether curved tread, with a tread outer surface, which mold segment component is built up by means of an additive process, such as selective laser melting, by layer-by-layer planar application and melting of a metal powder on a planar building plate (10) together with a bottom part (7b) and mold elements, such as lamellae (4) and/or microlamellae (11) and/or ribs and/or regions of ribs, wherein mold elements delimit or run around mutually adjacent mold area elements (12) of the bottom part (7b) which have outer surfaces (12a) forming a region of the tread outer surface.

Abstract: A method for producing a mold segment of a vulcanizing mold for a pneumatic vehicle tire for forming the profiling of a tread, having a metallic base part (6) with a mold side with ribs (3) which form channels encircling or delimiting profile elements. A rib skeleton (8) consisting of ribs (8?), the arrangement and the profile of which at least partially corresponds to the arrangement and the profile of ribs (3) forming channels, is milled from the base part (6), inserts (7) with peripheral frame parts (7b) are built up by means of an additive method, the inserts (7) being inserted into the rib skeleton (8) and the frame parts (7b) completing the ribs (8?) of the rib skeleton (8) to form the ribs (3) forming the channels.

Abstract: A protective layer having at least one hard-material layer is provided. The hard-material layer is formed from one or more of the following materials metal oxide, metal nitride, metal carbide, metal oxynitride, metal carbonitride, and metal oxycarbonitride. The hard-material layer has laterally closely cohesive, crystalline columns which grow perpendicular to the surface of the body. In some embodiments, the crystalline columns have a lateral dimension which is on average less than 1 ?m, preferably less than 200 nm, and which predominantly has crystal orientations which, in the case of columnar growth, have little tendency to widen out, the surface roughness of the hard-material layer having an Ra value of less than 50 nm, preferably less than 20 nm.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coated object in which coatings remain of a constant and unchanged high quality despite operating temperatures of more than 350° C. This is achieved with interlayers which deliberately interrupt and thereby stabilize the morphology of the coating.

Abstract: The invention relates to layer systems having at least one layer comprising titanium aluminum oxide. The layer comprising titanium aluminum oxide may be either a functional layer—with or without interruption by an intermediate layer which is optically inactive—or a functional layer formed from a metal oxide which is interrupted by an intermediate layer comprising titanium aluminum oxide. The layer systems are structurally and thermally stable at operating temperatures of over 600° C. The layer systems may either comprise only one functional layer or may be a multilayer system, preferably an alternating layer system composed of functional layers with high and low refractive indices.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transparent protective layer, in particular a scratchproof layer for glass and glass-ceramic, which is able to withstand high temperatures, has a smooth and dense surface, an attractive surface design and is preferably used for coating cooking plates. A protective layer according to the invention comprises at least one crystalline metal oxide layer which has at least one interlayer formed from an amorphous, thermally stable mixed oxide, the interlayer being arranged being sublayers of the metal oxide layer. A further protective layer according to the invention comprises at least one amorphous, thermally stable mixed oxide layer which has at least one interlayer formed from a crystalline metal oxide, the interlayer being arranged between the sublayers of the amorphous mixed oxide layer. The amorphous mixed oxide layer has at least two metallic components.

Abstract: Many applications, in particular in the domestic sector, require bodies which have a protective layer with a high scratch resistance and thermal stability. One typical example is glass-ceramic cooking surfaces of modern cooking hobs. The invention provides a corresponding protective layer which comprises at least one hard-material layer formed from a metal oxide and/or metal nitride and/or metal carbide and/or metal oxynitride and/or metal carbonitride and/or metal oxycarbonitride which has laterally closely cohesive, crystalline columns which grow perpendicular to the surface of the body and the lateral dimension of which is on average less than 1 ?m, preferably less than 200 nm, and which predominantly has crystal orientations which, in the case of columnar growth, have little tendency to widen out, the surface roughness of the hard-material layer having an Ra value of less than 50 nm, preferably less than 20 nm.

Abstract: The invention relates to a product having a substrate of a partially stabilized zirconium oxide and a buffer layer of a fully stabilized zirconium oxide. In this case, the substrate is untextured and the buffer layer is biaxially textured and joined to the substrate via an interlayer which consists is made of a material that is different than zirconium oxide but is compatible with the latter. This product is in particular produced with ion beam-assisted deposition of the buffer layer. It is suitable in particular as a support for a functional layer of a ceramic superconductor, e.g. for use as a superconducting current limiter.
