Abstract: Embodiments relate to a test method for testing an unpopulated printed circuit board. The method can involve the steps of: exposing the unpopulated printed circuit board to temperatures of a reflow soldering process in a first step; and testing the electrical connections of the unpopulated printed circuit board. Embodiments also relate to a test device and a method for producing populated printed circuit boards.

Abstract: A magnetic attachment assembly for attaching a first object to a second object includes a first and second ferromagnetic devices possessing an attractive magnetic property pulling each toward one another. The first ferromagnetic device is attached to the first object and an adhesive layer on the second ferromagnetic device is for attaching the second ferromagnetic device to the second object. A removable separator is initially positioned intermediate the first ferromagnetic device and the second ferromagnetic device and is frictionally held in place prior to attachment of the second ferromagnetic device to the second object. During installation, the user pushes the attachment assembly onto the second object, pulls the first ferromagnetic device away from the second ferromagnetic device, removes the separator, and then pushes the first ferromagnetic device back to the second ferromagnetic device thereby attaching the first object to the second object.

Abstract: An electrically actuated valve may include a housing and a cylindrical valve body mounted rotatably therein. The housing may have at least one casing-side inlet and at least one casing-side outlet. The valve body may have at least one casing-side opening, via which the inlet may be at least one of connectable to the outlet and able to be shut off from the outlet dependent on a rotary angle. A recess extending at least partially around at least one of the inlet and the outlet may be provided on an inner casing face of the housing. At least one sealing element may be provided with a base made from a first material, and a saddle-shaped sealing sliding body made from a second material joined to the first. The sealing element may engage with the base into the recess, and may slide with the sealing sliding body on the valve body.

Abstract: A printing system includes a print module with printheads covering a printing width in x-direction, and a substrate holder for supporting a substrate. The substrate and print module are movable relative to each other in y-direction. Each printhead is positioned spaced at a first distance from the substrate holder in z-direction. A detection mechanism is provided for detecting obstructions on the substrate holder. A control unit is provided for stopping further relative movement in the y-direction between the substrate and the print module when an obstruction has been detected. The detection mechanism includes individually movable sub-detection elements that together cover the printing width, where those elements are designed to have a detection signal send out to the control unit when one of the elements gets moved out of a starting position by an obstruction trying to pass it.
