    Abstract: 1. A method for the production of a filter element. 2. A method for the production of a filter element (1) comprising the steps: a) Providing a filter medium (3) surrounding an inner filter cavity (7) and comprising a heat-sealable material; b) Providing at least one end cap (9, 13) made of thermoplastic, laser-permeable material, forming a covering of the filter cavity (7) on at least one end; c) Forming a laser-impermeable barrier layer (31) between the end cap (9, 13) and the adjacent end of the filter medium (3) and d) Welding the end cap (9, 13) and filter medium (3) by irradiating laser-permeable material adjacent to the barrier layer (31) with laser energy such that, by heating the region adjacent to the barrier layer (31), a welding volume is provided as a joining element for the welded joint created by laser-transmission welding.

  • Publication number: 20090297769
    Abstract: A container liner comprises at least one sheet bounded along portions thereof to form at least one peripheral seam, with the at least one sheet including a first fluoropolymer layer, a barrier film layer, and a third layer bonded along at least peripheral portions thereof. Any of such layers may be peripherally bonded to form a gap or pocket therebetween, or bonded along substantially entire major surfaces thereof. Surface modification may be employed to facilitate bonding of materials having otherwise dissimilar surface energies. The resulting liner is adapted for storing and dispensing high purity chemical reagents, e.g., by placing the liner in an overpack, and applying pressurizing gas to a space between the liner and the overpack for progressive compaction of the liner to dispense its contents.

  • Publication number: 20090032169
    Abstract: In a process, a thermally stable diamond table body and a substrate are stacked on each other at an interface which includes a layer of a imbibiting material interposed between a bottom surface of the body and an upper surface of the substrate. The stack is subjected to a suitable thermal cycle, constituted by heating, temperature maintenance and cooling, which brings at least some of the imbibiting material into the liquid state for migration into the thermally stable diamond table body and substrate at and about the interface so as to join the thermally stable diamond table body to the substrate. The substrate may be produced as a block of dense material constituted by hard particles dispersed in a binder phase, wherein the dense material has been enriched locally with binder phase by imbibition.

  • Publication number: 20080285415
    Abstract: A transparent protective layer (106) having a thickness of 100 ?m is formed of a resin film (100), a boundary layer (104) and an adhesive layer (103) on a signal recording layer (102). When nf, ni and na are the indices of refraction of the resin film (100), the boundary layer (104) and the adhesive layer (103), respectively, the relationship among nf, ni, and na satisfies any one of the following equation: na<ni?nf; na>ni?nf; na<nf?ni; or na>nf?ni, and the relationship among nf, ni, and na satisfies the following equation |nf?ni|<|nf?na|. At this time, a protrusion (111) and a scratch (110) are optically buried within the boundary layer (104), reducing scattering of laser beams and disturbance in the wave front which occur in these portions, and thereby, the error rate can be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20080251184
    Abstract: An accompanying winding spacer is used to evolve volatile materials and by-products contained in a strip laminate. The strip laminate and the spacer are wounded in a roll state together and treated by heat or radiation to evolve the volatile materials and by-products. The spacer comprises a smooth surface (Rz<1 mm) and a surface including a raised coarse portion at each longitudinal edge thereof. When the strip laminate and the spacer according to the present invention are wound in a roll state together and treated by heat or radiation, the volatile materials and by-products is evolved out of the laminate from passages formed by the recess portions of the coarse portions at both edges of the spacer.
