Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing the thin film made of lead zirconate titanate in a 111-oriented perovskite structure, comprising the following steps: providing a substrate having a substrate temperature above 450° C. and a lead target, a zirconium target, and a titanium target; applying the thin film by sputtering lead, zirconium, and titanium from the respective targets onto the substrate, wherein the total deposition rate of lead, zirconium, and titanium is greater than 10 nm/min, the deposition rate of zirconium is selected in such a way that the atomic concentration of zirconium with respect to the atomic concentration of zirconium together with titanium in the thin film is between 0.2 and 0.

Abstract: A Method for producing a microsystem (1) with pixels includes: producing a thermal silicon oxide layer on the surface of a silicon wafer as a base layer (5) by oxidation of the silicon wafer; producing a silicon oxide thin layer on the base layer as a carrier layer (6)by thermal deposition; producing a platinum layer on the carrier layer by thermal deposition, whereby an intermediate product is produced; cooling the intermediate product to room temperature; pixel-like structuring of the platinum layer by removing surplus areas of the platinum layer, whereby bottom electrodes (8, 12) of the pixels (7, 8) are formed in pixel shape on the carrier layer in remaining areas; removing material on the side of the silicon wafer facing away from the base layer, so a frame (3) remains and a membrane (4) formed by the base layer and the carrier layer is spanned by the frame.

Abstract: A streaming database management system may provide support for creating a new continuous query operator for on-the-fly addition of a new query, e.g., a new SQL query and/or new continuous query operator, into a shared continuous query plan. Alternatively, the streaming database management system may associate the new query on-the-fly with an existing continuous query operator, such as a relational operator and expression evaluator, to reuse the existing continuous query operator. In some embodiments, multiple operators are grouped for on-the-fly addition to the shared continuous query plan. Alternatively, the streaming database management system may identify a group of multiple operators in the shared continuous query plan for reuse by the new query.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and media are disclosed herein that can be embodied in a traditional Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) in order to transform it into a Streaming Relational Database Management System (SRDBMS). An SRDBMS may provide functionality such as to manage and populate streams, tables, and archived stream histories and support the evaluation of continuous queries on streams and tables. Both continuous and snapshot queries support the full spectrum of the industry standard, widely used, Structured Query Language. The present technology can support a high number of concurrent continuous queries using a scalable and efficient shared query evaluation scheme, support on-the-fly addition of continuous queries into a mechanism that implements the shared evaluation scheme, reuse RDBMS modules such as relational operators and expression evaluators, and visualize results of continuous queries in real time.

Abstract: An infrared light detector having a sensor chip (4), which includes a thin-film element (5) made from a pyroelectrically sensitive material, having an electrical insulator (27), at least one electronic component (17, 18) having a thin-film design, which forms part of a readout electronics unit, and a thin-film membrane (2), on which the sensor chip (4) and the electronic component (17, 18) are mounted side by side in an integrated manner such that the electronic component (17, 18) is electrically conductively coupled to the thin-film element (5). A signal amplifier (22), with which, in co-operation with the electronic component (17, 18), an electrical signal emitted from the sensor chip (4) can be amplified, can be connected to the electronic component (17, 18).
