Patent EP-1434661-A1 (EP)
Inventor: FURCHHEIM BODO
IPC: B21D26/033
Filed: 2002-10-04
Abstract: The invention concerns a method whereby components are arranged in a mounting device, outside an internal high-pressure forming press, in accordance with their position and their function, such that they are linked to one another. The mounting device comprises an upper part and a lower part including cavities identical to the cavities of the internal high pressure tool. Once the components have been installed, the mounting device is introduced in the internal high-pressure press, then the upper part or the lower part of the mounting device is withdrawn, the part of the mounting device remaining in the internal high-pressure press being displaced against the upper tool or the lower tool. For the forming process, the components are maintained in a part of the tool by depression or by clamping, then the part of the mounting device is removed from the internal high-pressure press, thereby ensuring high precision positioning of components. Additionally, the production rate is substantially increased. The invention is particularly applicable for the production of cam shafts.

Title: Front structure of a motor vehicle
Inventor: BOETTCHER CURD-SIGMUND
IPC: B60R19/12
Filed: 2002-11-02
Abstract: According to the invention, the requirements for the protection of pedestrians in a collision and the requirements for easy repair of collided vehicles can be combined, whereby the front structure comprises two bumpers (4, 5), supported on each of both sides on a longitudinal support (2, 3), by means of a crash box (10, 10', 11, 11'). A foam layer (25) is provided on a transverse support (6) for the upper bumper (5), which takes the impact of a collision with a pedestrian, and the crash boxes (10, 10') for the lower bumper (4) run forwards over the foam layer (25) such that the forces of a light collision with another vehicle or a fixed obstacle are absorbed by deformation directly after the first contact. As the foam layer (25) is set back relative to the lower crash box (10, 10'), a protection for pedestrians can be achieved without leading to a significant increase in vehicle length.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method which consists in: plasma etching treatment of a substrate (2) contained in a chamber (1) whereof the atmosphere (5) is maintained at low pressure by a vacuum-generating device (6, 7). Plasma-generating means (8) generate a plasma (9) which acts on the surface (2a) of the substrate (2). The etching method consists in subjecting the substrate (2) to an alternating succession of steps comprising: a plasma etching step with etching gas derived from an etching gas source (19), a second plasma passivation step with passivating gas derived from a passivating gas source (20), followed by a selective plasma pulsed depassivation step by the action of a cleaning plasma gas derived from a cleaning plasma gas source (21) which removes the polymer in the base zone of the cavities (2b) more efficiently than the etching gas, thereby enabling formation of cavities (2b) having an aspect ratio higher than 30, with increased speed, and good selectivity with respect to the mask protecting the substrate (2).

said least one variable into a number of sub-ranges by
inserting dividing nodes (4), and approximating
characterization data points (2) in each of the sub-ranges by
an elementary function, wherein the elementary functions
defined in the sub-ranges join together to form said
approximating function defined in said total range. The
approximation is accomplished such that the approximating
function is continuously partial differentiable with respect
to said at least one variable (X 1 , X 2 ) in the dividing nodes
(4).
