Abstract: In the case of a combined service and spring brake cylinder, termed a combined cylinder, which serves for the operation of brake systems of vehicles, a service brake piston (35) which can be operated by pressure medium, preferably pneumatically, and a spring-loaded piston (7) assigned to this, acting on a common pushrod (39) and operable by a preloaded spring (15), are provided inside a common housing arrangement. In order to achieve a combined cylinder of short construction, an inner housing (cylinder 11, base 21) is arranged inside the housing (9) common to the service brake piston and the spring loaded piston, inside which inner housing the service brake piston (35), in conjunction with the pushrod (39), is displaceably carried. The inner housing is enclosed in the shape of a pot by the spring-loaded piston (7) which, sealed off from the outside of the inner housing, that is in the gap between the inner housing (11, 21) and the common housing (9), is displaceable between release position and run-out position. The spring-loaded piston (7) passes through the centre area of the inner housing (11, 21) in the area of its base (21) whilst sealing it off by means of a piston tube (19) extending axially from it, in such a way that the closed end section (29) of the piston tube (19) is able to act on the middle section of the service brake piston (35) supported in the inner housing, so that when the spring brake cylinder is operated its spring-loaded piston (7) can be run out together with the service brake piston (35). The secondary chamber (33) of the spring-loaded piston (7) and the secondary chamber (53) of the service brake piston (35) are constantly connected to one another so that differences in pressure caused by changes in the volume of the secondary chambers can be equalised. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A high-efficiency, low-temperature, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system for growing or depositing various types of thin films on substrate surfaces, or etching such surfaces, using substrates of materials such as silicon, plastic, etc. The system uses a hollow-cathode-effect electron source with a surrounding confining electrode to create a plasma at the substrate surface to insure that the density of reactive species is both enhanced and localized at the substrate surface thus causing the rate of growth of the films, or the etch rate, to increase so that the process can take place at much lower temperatures and power levels. A particular embodiment involves the growing of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H), at room temperature, on silicon using a tubular reactor containing a cylindrical electrode lining the inside of the reactor walls acting as a counter electrode for an rf-powered, substrate-supporting electrode near the center of the reactor. A set of silicon wafers, on which the amorphous silicon is grown, is mounted on the latter electrode. The reaction gases (silane) flowing between the electrodes are decomposed in a plasma excited by an rf power source (13.56 MHz) connected to the substrate-supporting electrode. With the use of appropriate deposition parameters (silane flow rate, pressure, applied power and frequency, and substrate spacing) room temperature growth of a-Si:H is achieved at growth rates up to 1.5 nm/s (15 Å/sec), while keeping a low hydrogen concentration (∼10%) and the bonded hydrogen in the Si-H monohydride configuration.

Abstract: The self-service point and/or vending machine has a host computer as a control device, a hard disk, several memories, a touch-screen unit having several touch-selectable operating and/or selection fields as "input keyboard". During the entire dialog process for obtaining a ticket by self-service, a basic mask (25) with touch-selectable basic operating and/or selection fields (27a - 27h, 29a - 29g) remains on the touch screen of the touch-screen unit. A working mask (30) having an area structure with touch-selectable main operating and/or selection fields (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 41) is embedded in the basic mask (25). One of the advantages of the self-service point and/or vending machine according to the invention lies in the fact that due to the working mask (30), which is fixed in its area structure during the entire dialog process, and the basic mask (25), the user has a fixed correlation of the fields to be changed and to be completed. There is no helpless searching on the screen which frequently frightens away an inexperienced user. Once the user has recognised the basic and working mask (25, 30) with all fields, he can calmly adapt the fields to his choice. <IMAGE>
