  • Publication number: 20150076733
    Abstract: A method for making teat unit including providing a support body and a securing part, the support body including a plurality of recesses, forming a teat by overmolding the teat over the support body and over the recesses of the support body so that the teat covers the recesses, and overmolding the teat over an upper edge of the securing part, thereby forming a connection between the securing part and the support body which connects the securing part to the support body. In another method, the support body and the securing part are already one single piece and the teat is overmolded at least over the support body.

  • Patent number: 8910809
    Abstract: A teat unit has a teat with a suction opening, a support body, and a securing part for securing the teat unit on a drinking vessel. The securing part and the support body are fixedly connected to each other indirectly or directly, and they cannot be detached from each other without being destroyed. The support body has a surface with recesses, which are covered by the teat. The teat is overmoulded over the support body, wherein the teat covers the recesses. This teat unit permits a sucking action that is as natural as possible. It is of a simple construction and can be produced inexpensively, which means that it can be disposed of after one use.

  • Patent number: 7718518
    Abstract: A doped silicon layer is formed in a batch process chamber at low temperatures. The silicon precursor for the silicon layer formation is a polysilane, such as trisilane, and the dopant precursor is an n-type dopant, such as phosphine. The silicon precursor can be flowed into the process chamber with the flow of the dopant precursor or separately from the flow of the dopant precursor. Surprisingly, deposition rate is independent of dopant precursor flow, while dopant incorporation linearly increases with the dopant precursor flow.
