Patent CA-2507618-A1 (CA)
Title: Sensor for monitoring material deposition and method of monitoring material deposition
Inventor: LIU CHANG
IPC: C23C14/54
Filed: 2003-11-12
Abstract: A material deposition sensor includes a heater (24) and a temperature sensor (30) separated from one another. In operation, the sensor is disposed within a deposition chamber, and material is deposited onto the sensor. When a particular material thickness is deposited, a direct thermally conductive pa th is created between the heater and temperature sensor, and heat from the heat er conducts directly to the temperature sensor. By predetermining a deposition thickness necessary to create the direct thermally conductive path, the deposition thickness can be controlled and/or predicted.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé pour fixer un composant miniature (2), notamment un élément microoptique (3), sur une partie de fixation (7) prédéterminée d'une plaque de base (1), grâce à une liaison soudée (6a). La plaque de base (1) présente un côté supérieur (8) et un côté inférieur (9), et le composant (2) présente une surface de base (4). Au moins la partie de fixation (7) de la plaque de base (1) est recouverte sur le côté supérieur (8) d'une couche métallique (5) qui est appliquée en continu au moins à la surface de la partie de fixation (7) et est donc dépourvue d'interruption. Le matériau de soudure (6a) est appliqué au moins sur la partie de fixation (7) recouverte de la couche métallique (5). Une étape du procédé consiste à mettre en place le composant (2) au-dessus de la partie de fixation (7), le matériau de soudure (6a) et la surface de base (4) du composant (2) se trouvant dans une position où ils sont en vis-à-vis, espacés verticalement entre eux sans se toucher pour former un espace intermédiaire. Une autre étape du procédé consiste à apporter de l'énergie thermique, notamment au moyen d'un faisceau laser (11), dans une zone limitée localement, et se limitant sensiblement à la partie de fixation (7), afin de produire la fusion du matériau de soudure (6a) depuis le côté inférieur (9) de la plaque de base (1) de sorte que des gouttes formées à partir du matériau de soudure en fusion (6a') remplissent l'espace intermédiaire pour réaliser la fixation entre le composant et la plaque.

Patent CA-2516063-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PUSCH FRANK
IPC: F23N5/10
Filed: 2004-02-26
Abstract: The aim of the invention is to create a gas regulating fitting that, in addition to enabling an electronic ignition of the gas flow, also permits a manual ignition. An unwanted manual actuation should, however, be prevented. A covering element (17) is displaceably mounted on the housing (1) of the gas regulating fitting and, in a first position, covers a tappet (10; 14), which is provided for actuating a thermoelectric ignition safety valve (26) and a main valve (19), and covers a control switch (13) of a piezoelectric igniting element. When the covering element (17) is in a second position, an actuation of the tappet (10; 14), which inevitably occurs when the covering element (17) is displaced, ensures that the main valve (19) is located in the closed position. In addition, the control switch (13) and the tappet (10, 14) are released in this position in such a manner that an ignition of the gas flow is made possible by a manual actuation thereof.  The gas regulating fitting can be used for igniting and for controlling a gas flow flowing to a burner.
