Abstract: A printer capable of transferring images to different types of media is disclosed. Media sheets of different sizes and types may be dispensed through a single input path to a print station including a printhead and a platen. The printhead is adapted for transferring images to media using either a direct thermal or dye diffusion process. A capstan roller, platen roller, picker assemblies and kicker assemblies are driven by a single motor, allowing for substantial cost and space savings. Other features are directed to improving the quality of images using the direct thermal and dye diffusion processes.

Abstract: A nonwoven laminate material for mechanical closure systems, method for its production, and its use. The multi-layer nonwoven fabric laminate material has at least one layer of a polyolefin endless filament nonwoven fabric having a maximum tensile strength in the machine running direction that is at least as great as crosswise to that direction, and made up essentially of fibers having a titer of less than 4.5 dtex, as well as a second layer of a nonwoven fabric that is bonded to the first layer, which includes a sheet of crimped staple fibers made of polyolefins, and whose crimped fibers are coarser than the fibers of the nonwoven fabric of the first layer. The at least two nonwoven fabric layers are bonded to one another at the common interface by bonding in the form of a pre-determined pattern. With this laminate, it is possible to produce diapers that are also suitable for adult incontinence patients, which have a mechanical closure system, e.g., a Velcro™ closure.

Abstract: To integrate electronics with a drive unit, given a simple manufacturing or assembly, and a compact type of construction, a printed-circuit board, which accommodates the electronic components and which is designed, at the same time, as a brush-holder plate for the commutator motor, is arranged, together with an electronic housing, parallel to housing flanges of a motor housing, of a gear housing. The printed circuit board of the drive unit, and is covered on its one axial side by the motor housing and the electronic housing, and on its other axial side by the gear housing thereby protecting it from external elements.

Abstract: In the case of assembly after the insertion of the rotor (4-7) with the commutator (4) into the motor housing (8), in order to be able to install the brush holder (1), with its brushes (1.1; 1.2) which are subject to radial spring pressure, simply and in a manner which can be carried out by an automated machine it is proposed that: the brush holder (1) is pushed onto one end part (2.1) of an installation mandrel (2) which is in the form of a sleeve and whose other end (2.3) is placed on the commutator (4), together with an integrated restraining part (3) which holds the brushes (1.1; 1.2) in a raised installation position; and that the restraining part (3) is fixed outside the motor housing (8) by means of a conical expansion of one end part (2.1). The brush holder (1) is then moved into its final position with the brushes (1.1; 1.2) which now slide on the installation mandrel (2 ). The brushes (1.1; 1.2) are pressed radially onto the commutator (4) during the withdrawal of the installation mandrel (2).

Abstract: Inner and outer surfaces of structural components are aluminized by an aluminum gas diffusion process. For this purpose a gas mixture of a halogenous gas, aluminum monohalide gas, hydrogen, and negligible proportions of aluminum trihalide gas is caused to flow over the outer and inner surfaces of the component to be coated. The process is performed in a vessel in which at least two different temperature zones are maintained for keeping one or more aluminum sources at a higher temperature than the component to be coated. Especially gas turbine engine blades are protected against oxidation and corrosion by the so formed aluminum diffusion coatings on outer and inner surfaces of the blades.

Abstract: Electrical lines for two axially located housings are molded into an inelastic carrier and covered at both faces of the carrier. A seal is injection-molded onto the inelastic carrier. In one implementation in which the carrier is disposed between a commutator housing and a gear housing, the inelastic carrier engages a brush holder that is inserted into one housing of the commutator motor. The design enables the electrical lines to pass into the interior of two axially located housings in a simple manner, while guaranteeing a reliable moisture seal between the housings.

Abstract: A process for vapor depositing a metallic interlayer on the surface of a metal component, for example, by sputtering and thereafter depositing an aluminum diffusion coating on the interlayer. The metallic interlayer is vapor deposited on the surface of the component in a noble gas atmosphere, more than one-half of which, in per cent by weight, is composed of noble gases which are heavier than argon. Advantageously, the noble gases can be krypton or xenon. The process can be used with particular advantage for applying protective aluminum diffusion coatings on turbine blades.

Abstract: A moisture-proof coupling, which is simple in design and easy to assemble, is disposed between a motor housing and a bearing plate, with the electrical leads running out through the moisture-proof coupling. The electrical leads are integrally molded in an insulated lead-insert, which can be inserted into an opening on the end face of the bearing plate. A circumferential sealing ring is molded on the insulated lead-insert. The sealing ring is injection-molded together with the lead-insert on a brush plate so that it can be pre-positioned and, when the motor is assembled, can be pressed between the motor housing and the bearing plate to form a seal. The brush plate can be fixed together with the lead-insert and the sealing ring in the bearing plate in the manner of a pre-assembled component.

Abstract: A motor casing is provided which guarantees reliable run-off of condensation water from the inside of the casing to its outside, and which reliably prevents drop water from penetrating from the outside into the inside of the motor casing with a simple device. The motor includes a tab which is punched and bent from the casing pot base using a die provided for deep-drawing of the pot-shaped motor casing such that a run-off hole proceeding from the bottom edge of the motor casing upwards, with a drip-off tongue angled away downwards is obtained.
