Patent DE-19707645-A1 (DE)
Title: Layer thickness determination
Inventor: SCHROEDER JUERGEN
IPC: G01B15/02
Filed: 1997-02-26
Abstract: The method includes the step of determining a respective layer thickness of at least two differently thick layers which consist of the same material by using an atom absorption spectrum analysis method. The layers are excited by device of particles or electromagnetic radiation, preferably X-ray radiation, whereby the emission of a characteristic, layer-specific X-ray radiation is induced in the layers, whose intensity is measured by device of suitable energy- and/or wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence radiation detectors through determination of corresponding X-ray count rates, from which layer material-specific constants are determined. The layer thickness of any layer treated in this way, is determined as a function of the corresponding constants determined for that specific material, and a corresponding X-ray count rate determined by a respective electromagnetic irradiation of the layer.

Patent DE-19808709-A1 (DE)
Title: Brake force amplification device for vehicles
IPC: B60T7/04
Filed: 1998-03-02
Abstract: The device has the brake force amplified electrically and automatically disengaged with full braking. A coil (1) working as a solenoid draws a soft iron core (2) into itself which for its part is connected to the brake pedal. In this way the force which works on the soft iron core is passed on as an additional brake force to the brake pedal. A second coil working as a solenoid draws a soft iron core into itself. On the core is fastened a piston rod which displaces the hydraulic fluid in the clutch transmitter cylinder. Consequently the force which works on the soft iron core is passed to the clutch receiver cylinder and declutches.
