Abstract: The invention concerns a procedure, which reduces position oscillations of an actuator controlled by a position controller of an automatic clutch with the following steps: a) A first number is acquired during a pre-determined first length of time of the actual position exceeding the position threshold value. b) In case the first number acquired in step A exceeds a pre-determined first limit value, the position threshold value is reduced. C) A second number is determined from the occurring oversteppings during a pre- determined second length of time according to step b). With the exceeding of a second limit value, one position control parameter set of at least two position control parameter sets is selected to control the position in such a way that exceeding the limit value and/or the position threshold value is avoided.

Abstract: An article suitable for use as an insulating or coating material comprises a radiation-crosslinked composition comprising a polyethylene, a polypropylene and optionally an ethylene-propylene elastomer. The polyethylene component is selected from high density polyethylene (HDPE), medium density polyethylene (MDPE) and linear medium density polyethylene (LMDPE) and the polypropylene component is either a homopolymer or copolymer. The composition is predominantly based on the polyethylene component and contains the polyethylene component in an amount of at least 50 percent by weight. The article is radiation-crosslinked to a sufficient degree that it possesses thermoset properties, such that when the article is heated to a temperature above the crystalline melting point of the polypropylene homopolymer or copolymer, it is softened but does not become liquid. The article is formed by first blending the polyethylene, polypropylene and optionally the ethylene-propylene elastomer, melt processing the blend to produce an article, crosslinking the article by exposing it to radiation, and optionally heating, stretching and cooling the article to impart heat shrinkability to the article.

Abstract: A method, as well as a storage and manipulation system for manipulating and transferring cassettes (8) used for storage, which system comprises a rack (3) for storing cassettes, equipped with supports (12) on which the cassette rests and along which the cassette is transferred, as well as a transfer device (1) which is equipped with: a slide (5), onto which the cassette can be transferred and which can be transferred in the horizontal direction and which is provided with a lifting and lowering movement; and grippers (6, 7) with the function of gripping the cassette and moving it onto or off the slide. The slide is arranged to be placed underneath the front part (8a) of the cassette and, by means of a lifting movement, to elevate the front part of the cassette in such a way that the cassette can be transferred along the slide onto the slide, its rear part (8b) being simultaneously supported by the support of the rack. The slide is also arranged, during the transfer of the cassette into the rack, to lower the front part of the cassette by a lowering movement onto the support of the rack, when the rear part of the cassette is already transferred onto the support of the rack, and to move the cassette further down so that the slide can be moved into the transfer device without restrictions. In an advantageous embodiment, the front part of the cassette is equipped with a roll (10) which, when the cassette is in the rack, is not placed on a support in the rack but is separate from it and whose underside is freely accessible by the slide, wherein the cassette is simultaneously arranged to rest on the support, on a support roll (13) in the rear part of the cassette, and the bottom structure (16) in the front part of the cassette being placed against the support.

Abstract: An illumination system for a microlithographic projection exposure step-and-scan apparatus has a light source, a first optical raster element and a second optical raster element. The first optical raster element extends in a first pupil plane of the illumination system and is designed such that the geometrical optical flux of the system is increased perpendicular to a scan direction of the projection exposure apparatus. The second optical raster element extends in a second pupil plane of the illumination system, which is not necessarily different from the first pupil plane, and is designed such that the geometrical optical flux of the system is increased in the scan direction and perpendicular thereto. This makes it possible to improve the irradiance uniformity in a reticle plane.

Abstract: A new method for repairing turbine engine components is provided. The method utilizes a cold gas-dynamic spray technique to repair degradation on turbine blades, vanes and other components. In the cold gas-dynamic spray process particles at a temperature below their fusing temperature are accelerated and directed to a target surface on the turbine blade. When the particles strike the target surface, the kinetic energy of the particles is converted into plastic deformation of the particle, causing the particle to form a strong bond with the target surface. Post-spray processing is then performed to consolidate and homogenize the applied materials and restore integrity to the material properties in the repaired turbine component. Thus, the cold gas-dynamic spray process and post-spray processing can be employed to effectively repair degraded areas on gas turbine components.
