Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing concrete panels that
when assembled together replicate brick or masonry walls. The method
involves applying a mask (5) to the surface (1) of an uncured concrete
panel and pressing the mask into the concrete. The concrete is allowed
to at least partially cure before the mask (5) is removed. 
Advantageously, the mask (5) includes an absorbent material to absorb
water from the uncured concrete in which it comes into contact, thereby
compacting the concrete in the contact areas (1c) and enhancing the
embossed effect created on the concrete surface. The areas of uncured
concrete exposed by the mask (1b) are coloured by the application of
mortar dust or powder (7) to provide contrasting colouration between the
exposed and covered areas, thereby imitating the brick and mortar
colours of a conventional wall.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for marring a surface of a fiber optic
substrate (1) by sandblasting one or more sides of the substrate (1) during
movement of the substrate past one or more sandblasting nozzles (4) to
produce a specific illumination pattern. The nozzles (4) may be operated
intermittently to produce intermittent light emitting areas along the
length of the substrate (1). Alternatively, the substrate (1) may be moved
past the nozzles (4) at a variable speed, or the pressure of the nozzles (4) or
spacing of the nozzles (4) from the surface of the substrate (1) may be
regulated during movement of the substrate (1) past the nozzles (4) in order
to produce a specific illumination pattern. Also, a perforated plate (7) may
be placed between the nozzles (4) and substrate (1) in order to produce a
specific illumination pattern. After the sandblasting operation, the

illumination system (12) and a refractive optical system (14). The image generator
(2) generates a pair of orthogonally polarised images, the one image being vertically
orientated with respect to its polarisation and the other image being horisontally
orientated with respect to its polarisation. The images are transmitted from the
image generator along respective optical paths towards the observers for the
illumination of at least a left hand part and a right hand part including the left eye
and the right eye, respectively, of the heads of the observers. The optically
addressed spatial light modulator (OASLM) (20) includes a plurality of light
transmission elements, each being individually optically addressable, and each
having an optical input and an optical output and being shiftable between a V-state
and a H-state in which V-state the transmission of vertically polarised light from the
optical input to the optical output is allowed and the transmission of horisontally
polarised light from the input to the output is inhibited or blocked, and in which H-state
the transmission of horisontally polarised light from the optical input to the
optical output is allowed and the transmission of vertically polarised light from the
optical input to the optical output is inhibited or blocked. Each of the light
transmission elements has an optical sensor for the shifting between the V- and H-states
through exposure to light or infrared radiation (IR). The OASLM is positioned
in the optical paths from the image generator to the observers. The infrared
illumination system (IR) illuminate the observers for illumination of at least the left
hand part or the right hand part of the head of each of the observers and in doing
so, exposing a first part of the optical sensors of the plurality of light transmission
elements of the OASLM to infrared radiation reflected from the left hand part or the
right hand part of the head of the observers. The optical sensors of the first part shift
their respective light transmission elements into allowing transmission of a first
image of the pair of orthogonally polarised images and inhibiting or blocking for the
transmission of the other or second image of the pair of orthogonal polarised images
and the optical sensors not belonging to the first part shifting their respective light
transmission elements into allowing transmission of the other or second image of 
the pair of orthogonally polarised images and inhibiting or blocking for the
transmission of the first image of the pair of orthogonal polarised images through the
remaining light transmission elements. The refractive optical system (14) includes at
least one refractive optical element position in front of the OASLM between the
OASLM and the observers for establishing the optical parts.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and method for carrying out plasma enhanced surface treatment of substrates in a vacuum. According to the invention, homogeneous, contamination-free layers should be produced on substrate surfaces, and the unwanted coating inside vacuum coating installations can be prevented with little effort. In addition, etching processes for processing the substrates or for the plasma-chemical cleaning of the reactor should not lead to any corrosion or to the precipitation of etching products inside the vacuum chamber. To these ends, a reaction chamber (1) is placed inside a vacuum chamber (3). The reaction chamber (1) in which the actual surface treatment is carried out is additionally surrounded by a purge chamber (2). A purge gas is fed through the purge chamber via connections and is carried away again (6, 7). The purge chamber can completely surround the reaction chamber. It is sufficient, however, if the purge chamber is placed solely on sealing surfaces of the reaction chamber.
