Abstract: By directly exciting optical transitions to the intermolecular CT state, the wavelength range which can be detected by organic photodetectors can be expanded into the NIR or IR region, wherein, however, the EQE is low even when using resonance effects by arranging the photoactive layer in an optical microcavity.

Abstract: A housing component, for the production of a housing of a multi-shaft screw machine, includes a base body, in which at least two bores interpenetrating each other are configured. The bores extend in a conveying direction through the base body and are limited transversely to the conveying direction by an inner wall. The inner wall configures at least one first wall section and at least one second wall section such that the at least one first wall section is harder than the at least one second wall section. The wall sections, for example, are generated by material application. The housing component allows for a reliable wear protection and a positive influence on the material processing.

Abstract: A treatment element for a treatment element shaft of a screw machine comprises a main body with an outer wall, wherein the outer wall has a first wall section and a second wall section and wherein the first wall section is harder than the second wall section.

Abstract: In a method for the production of a treatment element for a screw machine, a treatment element core of a first metal material is arranged in an inner space of a capsule of a hot isostatic pressing installation so that a contoured annular space is formed between a capsule wall and a treatment element core. The annular space is filled with a powder of a second metal material so as to produce an anti-wear layer. Afterwards, the treatment element blank is produced in such a way that the materials are combined by hot isostatic pressing to form a composite body. The treatment element blank is then post-processed to form the treatment element. The method according to the invention simplifies the production of treatment elements by in particular simplifying post machining and/or heat treatment of the anti-wear layer thus produced.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided comprising a chassis of a sheet of an electrically conductive material having a substantially non-conductive coating. An exposed portion of the chassis can be deformed to provide at least one protrusion such that the non-conductive coating on the at least one protrusion is thinner than a portion of the sheet spaced apart from the at least one protrusion to provide a conductivity path through the sheet.

Abstract: A component handling device is disclosed. The component handling device includes a body with a component receiving portion that has a front region defining a first opening and a rear region defining a second opening. Also, the component receiving portion includes a component encasing wall extending from the first opening to the second opening. Additionally, a component elevating feature configured to assist with detaching the component from a substrate is coupled to the interior surface of the component encasing wall. In addition, a user gripping feature is coupled to the body of the component handling device. Moreover, a component bounding feature proximate to the second opening is coupled to the body to prevent the component from moving past the second opening. Furthermore, a component retaining feature is coupled to the interior surface of the component encasing wall for retaining the component when the component is placed within the component handling device.
