Abstract: A valve unit (1.1, 1.2, 1.3) for modulating pressure in a compressed air braking system has an inlet valve (6) configured as a diaphragm valve, an outlet valve (7) configured as a diaphragm valve, and respective precontrol valves (8, 9), which are each configured as a 3/2-way solenoid valve and are arranged in an elongate valve housing (2), which is divided by a division plane (10) that is largely horizontal in the installation position into a base housing (11) and a housing cover (12). The precontrol valves (8, 9) are arranged in the housing cover (12) in the longitudinal direction (13), and the housing cover (12) has a centrally arranged magnet module (20) and two air guide modules (23, 24) adjacent to the magnet module (20) in the longitudinal direction (13) and connected via a single connecting element (45) both to each other and to the base housing (11).

Abstract: A method for non-invasive temperature determination in biological tissue treated with treatment radiation wherein a reaction which depends on the treatment temperature is generated and detected. Measurement radiation pulses and pulses of the treatment radiation are applied to the tissue to be treated successively, in particular in an alternating way, from the same radiation source. A device includes a radiation source, an irradiation lens system, detectors for determining a reaction and a system control suitable for controlling treatment radiation and measurement radiation pulses. The system control generates successive, in particular alternating, pulses of treatment radiation and measurement radiation pulses from one radiation source only, in particular a laser which can be modulated.

Abstract: In a laser arrangement and a method for generating a multimode operation with intracavity frequency doubling, the object of the invention is to eliminate fluctuations in output caused by the nonlinear coupling between the longitudinal modes due to sum frequency generation in a simple laser construction which has increased thermal and mechanical stability. Two multimode spectral regions are situated in the edge areas of the spectral gain region of a disk-shaped gain medium within which longitudinal modes have no gain advantage among one another for spatial hole burning, and in which oscillation of one of the two multimode spectral regions is prohibited.

Abstract: An electric contact plug receives a tip jack input at a plug-in zone, and completes the electrical connection via a connection zone to an electronic component, such as a printed circuit board. The electric contact plug also includes an intermediate zone, connected between the plug-in zone and the connection zone. The intermediate zone is designed to deform mechanically when the plug-in zone is subjected to vibrational stresses, as typically occur in a motor vehicle. As a result, the tip jack is held securely within the plug-in zone, while the intermediate zone absorbs the effects of the vibrational stresses. Thus, the inventive electric contact plug avoids the problems of friction and corrosion within the plug-in zone. Moreover, this electric contact plug is compatible with thick-wire bonding, and can be manufactured economically.
