The at least on body contact surface (7, 9) and the adjacent seat cushion side surfaces (8.1, 8.2, 10.1, 10.2) are cut from a raw material (1) as a single-piece blank part (3.1, 3.2) and are processed to form a seat cover (2).

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for repairing a sealing segments, formed at least partially in a monocrystalline fashion, of a flow channel wall of a turbomachine. At first a repair region of the sealing segment is established, independently of defects which may be present, and subsequently a part of a base material of the sealing segment is removed in the repair region. Subsequently a repair coating is deposited epitaxially in the repair region.

Abstract: Metrology data associated with a plurality of workpieces processed at a selected operation in the process flow including a plurality of operations is retrieved. A processing context associated with each of the workpieces is determined. The processing context identifies at least one previous tool used to perform an operation on the associated workpiece prior to the selected operation. A plurality of performance metrics is determined for a plurality of tools capable of performing the selected operation based on the metrology data. Each performance metric is associated with a particular tool and a particular processing context. A set of the performance metrics is identified for the plurality of tools having a processing context matching a processing context of a selected workpiece awaiting performance of the selected operation. The selected workpiece is dispatched for processing in a selected one of the plurality of tools based on the set of performance metrics.

Furthermore, restrictive tool dedications for critical lithography processes may be significantly relaxed by providing specific overlay correction data for each possible process flow, wherein, in some illustrative embodiments, a restriction of the number of possible process flows may be accomplished by implementing a rule for selecting a predefined substrate holder when starting the processing of an associated group of substrates.

Abstract: A method is for repairing and/or modifying component parts of a gas turbine. First, at least one, particularly damaged section of the component part that is to be repaired is cut out of the component part. In addition, if it does not exist, a data record is generated for a replacement part that is to be produced. The replacement part is subsequently produced with the aid of a rapid manufacturing process. Subsequently, the replacement part produced is integrated into the component part that is to be repaired.
