Abstract: The invention relates to a portable data carrier system having a control unit, a body, a data memory integrated in a chip, in which security-relevant data can be stored, and a feature for permitting information exchange between the control unit and an external access unit. A security device of the chip transmits a security signal that is influenced by an influencing feature integrated in the body and non-electrically connected with the security device. A detection feature of the security device detects the influenced security signal, an evaluation feature evaluates the detected, influenced security signal, and a blocking feature blocks a security-critical operating state of the data carrier system if the evaluation feature does not recognize a security signal influenced in the expected way.

Abstract: This invention relates to a vertically integratable circuit and a method for producing same. Unlike known methods for producing vertical electric connections, the present method uses process steps in the production of the vertically integratable circuit itself to permit vertical integration. This simplifies the sequence of production for vertically integratable circuits and thus the three-dimensional integrated circuit as a whole, thereby optimizing plant running times since process steps are saved. Because finished substrates are no longer the starting point for producing the vertical electric connections, an improved yield is moreover obtained since no process steps which could in particular change the already produced active circuit elements, such as steps with high process temperatures, are necessary any longer after production of the circuit elements.

Abstract: A bond is created between a gypsum matrix and titanium or zirconium based coupling coating applied onto a glass fiber during gypsum board cure. The commercially available titanium or zirconium based coupling has a generic formula of the type [RO-}-nTi—[—OXR?Y]4-n or [RO-}-nZr—[—OXR?Y]4-n. These coupling compositions chemically bond to glass fibers by replacing the —OH groups present on the glass fibers in aqueous solutions with Ti—O or Zr—O bonds. In order to bond with calcium ions in hydrated gypsum crystals, the X functionality is selected to be a phosphate or pyrophosphato group. The bond between the glass fiber and the titanium or zirconium based coupling composition is due to the formation of a monolayer, while the bond between the hydrated gypsum crystal and the coupling composition is intermittent due the acicular structure of gypsum crystals.

Abstract: A bond is created between gypsum crystals and between gypsum crystals and glass fiber reinforcement in a gypsum board during cure by incorporation of titanium or zirconium based coupling compositions incorporated in the gypsum slurry. The commercially available titanium or zirconium based coupling has a generic formula of the type [RO—}-nTi-[—OXR?Y]4-n or [RO—}-nZr-[—OXR?Y]4-n. These coupling compositions chemically bond to glass fibers by replacing the —OH groups present on the glass fibers in aqueous solutions with Ti—O or Zr—O bonds. The X functionality of the coupling composition is selected to be a phosphato or pyrophosphato group to form bond with calcium ions of the gypsum crystal. The bond created by the titanium or zirconium based coupling composition results in load transfer between gypsum crystals in the gypsum matrix and between the glass fibers and gypsum matrix, resulting in improved flexure strength and nail pullout resistance.

Abstract: A bond is created during gypsum board cure between a gypsum matrix and a tacky coating applied onto a glass fiber. The tacky coating is comprised of a polymer composed of methacrylic acid and dimethyldiallyammonium chloride. The polymer is dissolved in an acidic aqueous solution and is roller coated onto the glass fibers. The chopped glass fibers may also be placed in such an acidic solution, which is made alkaline by the addition of alkali, thereby precipitating the polymer out of solution as a tacky composition that produces a tacky coating on the glass fibers. The glass fibers with the tacky bond coating are incorporated in an alkaline gypsum slurry to form a gypsum board having a first and second facer sheet. The tacky coating on the glass fibers bonded to the gypsum matrix result in compliant load transfer between the gypsum matrix and the glass fibers, yielding improved flexure strength and nail pullout resistance.

Abstract: A gypsum board having roughened surface glass fiber reinforcement. The roughened surface of glass fiber is created by incorporating nano or micro particles of colloidal silica or clay or other inorganic particles in a silane based sizing composition. The sizing coating is partially or completely cured and incorporated in gypsum wet mix either as additions of chopped fibers or as placement of roughened surface glass fiber mats at selected locations within a cast gypsum sheet. The roughened surface of glass fiber with nano or micro particles compliantly bonded with silane polymer transfers load from gypsum to glass fibers providing improved strength and flexure resistance of gypsum boards.
