Abstract: Method and device for optimizing combustion in combustion devices. In one embodiment, the method includes providing an oxygen enriching device, wherein the oxygen enriching device comprises a chamber, the chamber comprising at least two sections, introducing ambient air in a laminar flow into a first section of the at least two sections, converting the laminar air flow from a translational movement into a rotational movement using spiral guiding surfaces disposed inside the first section of said at least two sections, ionizing ionizable components of the ambient air by applying ionization energy thereto in form of a pulsed direct current electric field, separating ionized components from non-ionized components by using the electric field, and introducing the separated ionized components into a combustion chamber of a combustion device, and discharging the separated non-ionized components from the oxygen enriching device by passing separated non-ionized compounds from the first section into the second section.

Abstract: An optoelectronic module is disclosed comprising an optoelectronic component (D), e.g. a photodiode (D) and/or a laser diode (D); a ring (RI) as an optical aperture in a wall of its housing (S/E/P, S/G/W) for the transmission of information-modulated light to or from the component (D) through the housing wall (S) to or from an optical component (L); and a lens system (K) having at least one lens (K), among them, at least one focusing lens (K) encircled by the ring (RI) or at least by a section of the ring (RI). At least one of the lenses (K) consists of glass and is intergrown with the ring (RI), at least in part consisting of glass, so as to be hermetically tight all around forming an intergrowth zone (SZ). Furthermore, the ring (RI) is inserted in the housing wall so as to form a hermetically tight seal.

Abstract: In an opto-electronic module housing for positioning an end of an optical fiber in a desired position relative to an active area of an opto-electronic component characterized by the housing including an optical fiber connector having an adjustment plane at one end and an arrangement for holding an end of an optical fiber with the axis of the fiber on an axis extending perpendicular to the adjustment plane with the end being a fixed distance from the plane, an adjustment frame being securable to the adjustment plane and an arrangement for locating an opto-electronic component or transducer relative to the frame including a plate having the component mounted thereon. The arrangement including the plate is securable to the frame and the frame and the arrangement enable adjusting the component in three spatial directions relative to the end of the fiber to obtain an optimum adjustable position.

Abstract: A common housing for two semi-conductor bodies is provided, comprising a front and back section for two spatially separate semi-conductor bodies attached in the housing interior but preferably connected in electrically conductive fashion to one another, whereby the housing surface preferably composed entirely of metal is cooled during operation by a flowable coolant, preferably cooling air. The front, first semi-conductor body is attached in the front section thereof and the back, second semi-conductor body is attached in the back section thereof, the maximum operating temperature of the back semi-conductor body being higher than the maximum operating temperature of the front semi-conductor body, at least at times.

Abstract: An optoelectronic transducer for the conversion of lightwaves to electrical voltage or current, or of voltage or current to lightwaves is disclosed, the transducer comprising a fiber optical system (K, L), a support (T) on which an optoelectronic structural element (D) with at least first and second electric leads (E1/D1, E2/D2/DD) is fastened, and a hole (LO) through the support (T) so arranged that the optically active point of the structural element (D) is directed onto the fiber optical system (K, L) across the hole (LO), the hole wall having a metallic coating (DD) which in operation constitutes a section of the first lead of the structural element (D), the first lead capable of sustaining high speed data transmission.
