Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the electrochemical polishing of metal surfaces by means of repeating pulse sequences, wherein at least one anodic pulse is provided, the current intensity of which rises continuously in the time curve up to a specifiable value. The invention further relates to the use of said method for components produced in 3-D and to a system therefor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetic force sensor (100), having at least one conducting track (111, 211) of soft magnetic material, wherein the at least one conducting track (111, 211) has at least one interruption (130) having a distance (A), wherein the force sensor (100) is arranged on a substrate, in particular on a component (1, 2) to be monitored, and a change in the distance (A) or rather a change in the magnetic flux in the at least one magnetic conducting track (111, 211) is monitored.

Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetic field sensor (100, 100A, 100B) for components (200) having a preferably cylindrical, conical, prismatic main body (210) or having a free-form main body, wherein at least one first magnetic conductive track (110) and at least one second conductive track (120) are mounted on the main body (210 of the component (200), and the at least second conductive track (120) is arranged at a distance—preferably in the form of a separation layer (300)—from the at least first magnetic conductive track (110), wherein at least one exciter magnet is provided and a change in the magnetic flux due to a change in the distance (A) of the at least one first magnetic conductive track (110) from the at least second magnetic conductive track (120) is monitored.

Abstract: A steam blower box for applying steam onto a material web, particularly paper, which travels past the steam blower box. The steam blower box has a front and a rear limitation as seen in the travel direction of the material web and a steam chamber located between the front and rear limitations, wherein the steam chamber is open toward the material web. The steam chamber is closed off at its front and rear ends in the direction of travel by a limiting surface each of which protrudes in the direction toward the material web, and particularly forms a limiting edge; between the limiting surfaces, the steam chamber has a housing wall which is recessed relative to the material web. For achieving an air-free steam chamber of the steam blower box, a first steam outlet opening is provided in the housing wall immediately adjacent to the front limiting surface.

Abstract: A process and an apparatus for the manufacture of SC-A paper having a high gloss and high smoothness, wherein the paper arriving from the paper machine is supplied on-line to a supercalender (multinip soft calendar), and wherein the paper travels through a plurality of nips for achieving the desired gloss and smoothness properties. The paper web arriving from the paper machine and supplied on-line to a supercalender (multinip soft calendar) is moistened with steam immediately prior to the first nip of the supercalender and is guided through the first nip before the increased moisture of the surface resulting from the application of steam has dropped below a predetermined value in the range of 12% to 25%.
