Abstract: The invention provides seed and plants of the hybrid corn variety designated 373029. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety 373029, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety 373029 with itself or with another corn plant, such as a plant of another variety. The invention further relates to genetic complements of plants of variety 373029.

Abstract: A process roller for receiving and guiding substrates in strip form in vacuum coating installations. The process roller comprises a heater located inside the process roller, in the form of an elongated radiant heater, and also a cylindrical lateral surface for receiving a substrate in strip form, the process roller being mounted rotatably about an axis of rotation in a vacuum process chamber. A particularly uniform temperature distribution can be achieved on the process roller's lateral surface by the process roller (2) being configured in a vacuum-tight manner, by the lateral surface (3) of the process roller (2) being connected in a vacuum-tight manner to two end caps (4, 5), which have a flattened, outwardly curved hemispherical form, by the interior space of the process roller (2) being connected to a vacuum connection (6), and by the radiant heater (8) extending into the region of the end caps (4, 5).

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for forming a structure on a component made of a material composed of silicon oxide, especially of silicate glass, glass ceramic or quartz, wherein in accordance with the process at least a first surface of the component a partial removal of the material by plasma etching takes place and during the plasma etching at least at the surface to be etched a substrate temperature is established which is substantially greater than 90° C. but less than the softening temperature of the material. The apparatus is equipped for this purpose with a heater for generating the substrate temperature.
