Abstract: The cleaner has a cartridge-like transverse-shaped filter frame (37) arranged in an exhaust air flow of an engine blower for retaining fine filters. The frame is guided as a drawer into a filter retainer (102) of a housing part (5) of the cleaner, and is pressed with an edge contour (372) under an intermediate layer of a seal at a contour of the retainer in a guided condition. A pivotably supported air-permeable lining element (100) covers the retainer in the guided condition, and diverts a force resulting from pivoting movement from a guiding direction (104) to a pressing direction (108).

Abstract: The invention is directed to an expandable stent for implantation in a body lumen, such as an artery. The stent consists of an elongated stent body formed with a central section positioned between a proximal end section and a distal end section, the central section having different expansion characteristics than at least one of the end sections. The end sections of the stent are configured to have greater resistance to radial expansion than the corresponding central section such that, when deployed with a balloon catheter device, the central section of the stent expands to an enlarged final diameter to contact the interior walls of the body lumen before or simultaneously with the end sections. The size and the shape of the U-shaped structures control the expansion characteristics of the respective cylindrical elements. The U-shaped structures which are designed to be more resistant to circumferential deformation are used to form cylindrical elements that have a greater resistance to radial expansion. The cylindrical elements are arranged strategically along the axial length of the stent to form stent sections which cooperate to control radial expansion.

Abstract: The optical cable (1) comprises a closed protective sheath (6) which is preferably oval in cross-section. Optical fibres (3), optionally assembled in modules (2), are arranged so that they take up the major part of the cavity in one axis, but allow significant clearance in other axis of the cavity. This allows branch connections from the cable outer sheath. The optical cable (1) comprises a closed protective sheath (6) which is preferably oval in cross-section, enclosing a cavity (5). The two perpendicular axes of the oval intersect at the center of gravity. At least two optical fibres (3), optionally assembled in modules (2), are arranged so that they take up the major part of the cavity in one axis, but allow significant clearance in other axis of the cavity. The fibres are preferably arranged along the longitudinal axis. The cable is continuously accessible as a result of its oval shape. One axis provides for easy curvature and accessibility to modules distributed along the large dimension, whilst the other axis provides significant clearance between the modules, facilitating extraction and providing the cable with good thermal and mechanical properties.

Abstract: The drill (10) has a ceramic head (16) fixed at an end of a carbide body (12), where the drill presents conicity of 3 degrees. A draw surface profile is formed by intersection of a lower draw surface with a plane passing via a drill axis. The profile is in convex shape and has curvature radius of 12 mm. A radial cutting angle between a front cutting surface (A-gamma) of each tooth of the head and a reference plane is -5 degrees. The angle is measured in a working plane (Pf) passing via a point of a main cutting edge (24) of the tooth. The cutting and draw surfaces form the cutting edge. An independent claim is also included for a method for drilling a composite or super alloy piece.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a Coriolis mass flow meter and to a Coriolis mass flow meter, comprising at least one measuring tube (2, 3) through which a medium flows and which is excited to oscillate, comprising at least two oscillation sensors (24, 25) disposed at a distance from each other in the longitudinal direction of the measuring tube in order to produce an oscillation signal (5, 6) each, and comprising an evaluation unit (26). In order to detect a polyphase current, an indicator variable (V) is used, for the calculation of which a difference signal of the first and the second oscillation signal is determined, a frequency spectrum of the difference signal is calculated, the amounts of the spectral fraction (39) of a fundamental oscillation and of the spectral fractions (37, 38) of one or more harmonic oscillations in the frequency spectrum are determined, the sum of the spectral fractions of the harmonic oscillations is calculated, and the ratio of the spectral fraction of the fundamental oscillation to the sum of the spectral fractions of the harmonic oscillations is determined as the indicator variable. This has the advantage that reliable detection of a polyphase current, and even a quantitative determination of the respective fractions of a polyphase current, are enabled.

Abstract: The present invention relates to electromigration testing and evaluation methods and apparatus for a device under test with an interconnect structure. The method comprises forcing the occurrence of a step resistance-increase of the interconnect structure due to electromigration in the first layer and subsequently subjecting the interconnect structure to at least three respective predetermined stress conditions while concurrently measuring a test quantity indicative of an electrical resistance of the interconnect structure. The method allows performing an electromigration test in much shorter time than known electromigration testing methods, without loss of information or accuracy. It is therefore possible to accelerate the optimization of the interconnect manufacturing process so that the conductor electromigration kinetics remains compatible with a required product lifetime. This allows reducing the time and cost for electromigration testing and thus fabricating integrated-circuit devices with a lower overall cost.
