  • Sensor element for detecting at least one property of a measured gas in a measured gas chamber, and method for manufacturing the same
    Patent number: 10215726
    Abstract: A sensor element for detecting a level of a gas component in the measured gas or a temperature of the measured gas. The sensor element includes at least one solid electrolyte layer. The solid electrolyte layer has at least one plated-through hole. The sensor element further includes a conductive element, which produces an electrically conductive connection through the plated-through hole. In the plated-through hole, the solid electrolyte layer is electrically insulated from the conductive element by an insulating element. At least one opening region of the plated-through hole is stabilized against phase transition by a stabilizing element. The stabilizing element is made at least partially of a material, which includes a noble metal and an element selected from the group consisting of: V, Nb, Ta, Sb, Bi, Cr, Mo, W. A method for manufacturing the sensor element is also provided.

  • Process and apparatus for coating motor pistons
    Patent number: 5314717
    Abstract: The coating of the cylindrical periphery of engine pistons with coating compound, in particular low friction materials, is performed by means of screen printing. The pistons can be coated in the vertical position around their vertical central longitudinal axis as they rotate past a screen printing stencil.
