Abstract: A device and method are provided for reflow soldering workpieces wherein a plasma device for an atmospheric plasma treatment of the workpiece is upstream of a solder application and/or upstream of a soldering zone, and wherein the method subjects the workpiece to an atmospheric plasma treatment with the aid of a plasma device prior to the application of the solder and/or prior to the soldering process.

Abstract: Magneto-optical memory having a substrate of a material which is transparent for the visible-to-infrared spectral range, on which there are provided, in this sequence, a dielectric layer which is transparent for the visible-to-infrared spectral range and has a refractive index which is higher than the refractive index of the substrate and constitutes a diffusion barrier layer for oxygen and/or water, an in essence amorphous and/or in essence micro-crystalline magneto-optical layer with uniaxial anisotropy and a magnetic ordering temperature higher than ambient temperature and a top layer which acts as a reflection or interference layer and as a diffusion barrier layer for oxygen and/or water, the dielectric layer being a layer which is deposited from organic silicon materials by means of a PCVD process.

Abstract: Thin film strain gauge system consisting of an elastically deformable flexible metallic substrate on which an electrically insulating layer of a plasma-polymerized material, in particular of Si:N:O:C:H-containing compounds and thereon a structured resistance layer as well as an electrically readily conducting layer having a structure for the electrical contacting are provided.
