Abstract: A method and apparatus for joining the ends of two profile sections ( 5, 6 ) such as two sealing, trimming or finishing strips for use in motor vehicle body construction, is shown. The two profile sections ( 5, 6 ) are clamped in respective retaining devices ( 18, 20 ) and a length of heat-responsive foil-like material ( 24 ) is unwound from a roll ( 22 ) into a position between the facing ends of the profile sections. Heaters ( 26-32 ) carried by a heater unit ( 34 ) are then moved into position between the ends of the profile sections ( 5, 6 ) and the foil ( 24 ). The outermost heaters ( 26, 30 ) heat the ends of the profile sections, and the innermost heaters ( 28, 32 ) heat the foil. The heaters ( 26 to 32 ) are then withdrawn, and the two retaining devices ( 18, 20 ) are then moved towards each other so as to move the ends of the two profile sections into contact with opposite sides of the heated foil ( 24 ) which thus heat-bonds the ends of the profile sections together. The retaining devices ( 18, 20 ) are then opened to release the joined profile sections. The heaters ( 26 to 32 ) are non-contact type heaters to avoid contaminating the foil or the ends of the profile sections. The use of the separate heaters allows the foil ( 24 ) to be heated to a temperature which is different from that of the ends of the profile sections, to achieve optimum bonding.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging method is proposed wherein the MR signal acquisition is performed by separate scanning of central (40) and peripheral (70) sectors. Central and peripheral sectors are selected in an individual plane in the k-space and optionally an intermediate sector (50) between the peripheral and central sectors is also selected. The center (O) in the k-space in the individual plane at issue is situated within the central sector. The scanning of the k-space commences outside the center of the k-space and before or during increasing contrast. Preferably, the scanning is timed such that the center of the k-space is reached at maximum contrast (MR angiography) or at the value zero of the longitudinal magnetization (MR inversion recovery). The central sector is advantageously scanned in a stochastic order. The peripheral sector may be scanned along a spiral-shaped trajectory, radial trajectories or along high-low ordered lines.

Abstract: Ein Verbindungselement in Form einer Schraube, Mutter oder Scheibe für eine Schraubverbindung hat an seiner Auflagefläche mindestens einen Vorsprung (11) und mindestens einen radial weiter aussenliegenden Flächenbereich (17). Höhe und Querschnitt des Vorsprungs sind so dimensioniert, dass der Vorsprung beim Festziehen der Schraubverbindung elastisch oder plastisch so weit deformiert wird, dass bei Erreichen einer bestimmten Vorspannkraft der radial ausenliegende Flächenbereich (17) zur Anlage gelangt. Bei dem in der Praxis üblichen Festziehen der Schraubverbindung auf ein vorgegebenes Anziehdrehmoment wird durch die Erfindung der Toleranzbereich der dem Anziehdrehmoment entsprechenden Vorspannkraft verringert. Die Änderung des Drehmoment-Drehwinkel-Differenzenquotienten, die dann eintritt, wenn sich der Vorsprung ausreichend verformt hat und der radial aussenliegende Flächenbereich in Kontakt kommt, kann auch als Kriterium für die Beendigung des Anziehvorgangs verwendet werden.

Abstract: An injection unit for a plastic injection molding machine having a screw, having a motion spindle as first drive element, via which the screw can be rotationally driven for the plasticization and is movable in the axial direction for the injection, having a spindle nut as second drive element, which is coupled to the motion spindle via a motion screw thread, having a large electric motor which is arranged so as to be fixed to the frame and by which, while one drive element is held against rotation, the other drive element can be rotationally driven for moving the screw during the injection, and having a device which is arranged so as to be fixed to the frame and by which a rotational speed of the one drive element can be preset during the plasticization, this rotational speed being different from the rotational speed at which the large electric motor simultaneously drives the other drive element. In a known injection unit of this type, two equally large electric motors, which can both apply a large torque, are used, by which such a counter-torque is exerted on the motion spindle during the injection operation that the motion spindle does not rotate. On the whole, the known injection unit is quite expensive on account of the two electric motors designed for a high torque. In order to provide a more cost-effective injection unit, the drive element held against rotation during the moving of the screw for the injection can be locked by a releasable mechanical brake.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a master mold (1), which is used to manufacture an optical information disc, such as a CD or DVD. According to the method, a substrate (3) is provided with a photosensitive layer (5), which is subsequently irradiated by means of a radiation beam (7). A liquid, such as water, is supplied into a gap (53) present between the photosensitive layer and an auxiliary lens (59) of the lens system facing said layer. As a result, the size of the scanning spot is decreased and the information density of the information disc to be manufactured is increased. According to the invention, the liquid is supplied via a supply opening (69) which is positioned immediately adjacent the auxiliary lens (59). Thus, the liquid supplied via the supply opening is transported immediately and exclusively into said gap (53), so that the amount of liquid to be supplied to fill the gap is limited. As a result, a homogeneous Couette flow of liquid without air inclusions is obtained in the gap. This Couette flow does not cause any undesirable mechanical vibrations of the lens system.

Title: Method and device for treating surfaces using a glow discharge plasma
Inventor: SCHWARZENBACH WALTER
IPC: C23C16/503
Filed: 2001-09-17
Abstract: During a process, in which a surface is treated using a glow discharge plasma, which is held between two electrodes (10, 10') inside a gas under essentially ambient pressure, undesired effects of plasma filaments, which occur in plasmas of this type, are prevented. To this end, the surface (17) to be treated is positioned inside a peripheral area (14') of the plasma, that is to say, at one side of the plasma space (14) defined by the electrode surfaces (11, 11'), beyond a pair of edges (13, 13'), which are aligned with one another, of the electrode surfaces (11, 11'), and at a distance of a few millimeters from these edges (13, 13'), and said surface is positioned such that it is pointed toward the edges (13, 13'). The treatment gas or the treatment gas mixture is fed to the plasma space (14) from one side, which is located opposite the side of the plasma peripheral area (14'), inside of which the surface (17) to be treated is positioned. During treatment, a substrate (16), whose one surface (17) is to be treated, is stationary or is advanced in direction that is essentially perpendicular to the electrode surfaces (11, 11'), for example, on the peripheral surface of an appropriately arranged rotating drum.
