Abstract: The disclosure relates to an illumination system of a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus. The illumination system can include a depolariser which in conjunction with a light mixing system disposed downstream in the light propagation direction at least partially causes effective depolarisation of polarised light impinging on the depolariser. The illumination system can also include a microlens array which is arranged upstream of the light mixing system in the light propagation direction. The microlens array can include a plurality of microlenses arranged with a periodicity. The depolariser can be configured so that a contribution afforded by interaction of the depolariser with the periodicity of the microlens array to a residual polarisation distribution occurring in a pupil plane arranged downstream of the microlens array in the light propagation direction has a maximum degree of polarisation of not more than 5%.

Abstract: A pyromechanical disconnecting device that includes a housing having a receiving space for an ignition element and a supporting floor. A disconnecting tool is disposed in the housing and movable along a path toward a disconnecting point of a current conductor rail. Also disposed in the housing is an ignition element adapted to propel the disconnecting tool along the path to sever the current conductor rail. The ignition element includes an end having a conical flank facing the supporting floor of the housing. An elastic sealing element is arranged about the conical flank and the supporting floor to act as an axial tolerance compensator between the ignition element and the supporting floor of the housing.

Abstract: A pyromechanical disconnecting device having an improved electric current conductor rail. The electric current conductor rail includes a center section perpendicular to the path of a disconnecting tool, and a first and second side section extending perpendicular from the center section. The electric current conductor rail further includes a first and second end piece connected respectively to the first and second side sections apart from the center section. Each of the end pieces is connected along a fold perpendicular to the center section and includes a bore for receiving a fastener to attach the electric current conductor rail to a housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for pyromechanical separation comprising a housing (4) and a conducting rail (2) which is arranged therein and embodied in such a way that it is separable at a separation point (13) by a separating tool (6) which is actuated by a propulsion pyrotechnical charge (12). In order to protect said conducting rail against manipulations and ensure an unequivocal positioning, the conducting rail (2), the propulsion charge (12) and the separating tool (6) are fixed in the housing (4) in an irremovable manner by a latch (5) which is inserted into the housing (4) and are nondetachably fixed thereto. Said latch (5) is also used as a support for the separating tool (6), i.e. it comprises a cutting edge (7) along which said separating tool (7) cuts.

Abstract: A base for a reflector lamp arrangement has a cutout, into which a section of a built-in lamp of the reflector lamp arrangement can be inserted. The insertion can take place in such a way that the contacts of the built-in lamp can be connected to the contacts of the base in the cutout, and the built-in lamp is held via at least one wall section of the cutout. In addition, a base with a built-in lamp for a reflector lamp arrangement is provided. In this case, the base is cast with the built-in lamp by a composition which has low viscosity in the unhardened state, preferably by means of cement.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pyromechanical disconnecting device, especially for disconnecting the battery in a motor vehicle. Said device comprises a housing (1) in which a current conductor rail is arranged, said rail being configured in such a way that it can be disconnected by a slitting chisel (6) in a disconnecting point, wherein the slitting chisel (6) can be accelerated by the propelling gases of an ignition element (5) and the ignition element (5) has electrical connecting pins (9). Said ignition element is arranged in the locating area (7) in the housing (1) and is supported on a support bottom (2) of said locating area (7). The support bottom (2) has passage holes (3) for the connecting pins (9). In order to provide easy and safe installation of the ignition element in the disconnecting device, an elastic sealing element (4) is arranged between the ignition element (5) and the support bottom (2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a pyromechanical separating device comprising a housing (2) wherein an electrically conductive current conductor rail (1) is arranged. Said current conductor rail is embodied such that it can be separated at a separation point (7) by a separating cutting tool (5) which is driven by a pyrotechnical propelling charge. The current conductive rail (1) comprises, on the ends thereof (14), a fixing means (6) for connecting electrical conductors. According to the invention, both end parts (14) of the current conductor rail (1) are disposed at right angles to the plane of the separation point (7) in order to prevent a break in the current conductor rail (1), and the separation point (7) is formed by a tapering of the cross section of the conductor.
