Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing an aperture in a metallic component, in which the aperture comprises, at least in certain portions, a non-cylindrically formed funnel, extends from a first surface to a second surface of a component wall and is formed by a laser beam. The invention improves the dimensional accuracy and reduces the roughness of the surface of the aperture and/or funnel in that, by appropriate choice of the laser parameters, the metal is predominantly removed by sublimation during the formation of the funnel and the funnel is formed by laser removal of layers of a substantially constant thickness.

Abstract: L'invention concerne l'inspection d'une tranche avec une colonne de microscope électronique à balayage dans laquelle le détecteur d'électrons secondaires (22, 24) est disposé au centre, au-dessus de la lentille d'objectif de la colonne. Les électrons secondaires sortant de la partie centrale d'un échantillon et allant dans une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire à sa surface sont tous collectés dans la partie centrale de la surface du détecteur comportant un orifice (36) pour le faisceau primaire (6). Par conséquent, ces électrons ne contribuent pas au signal du détecteur. Afin d'éviter ces pertes indésirables de signal, on propose de monter une électrode centrale (35) dans l'orifice central (36) de manière à ce que les électrons secondaires s'approchant de l'orifice soient dirigés vers l'intérieur de la région du détecteur (48)  sensible aux électrons.

Abstract: One aspect of the present invention relates to a covering member for a protruding portion of a patient's body. This cover is flexible and collapsible so that it conforms to the shape of the encased portion of the body. This prevents the cover from being noticed while it is worn under clothing. The cover can contain a medicament or agent for pretreating a portion of the body before an examination or procedure. When the cover is used to apply a topical anesthetic to a portion of the body for a recommended period of time prior to the procedure or examination commencing, the amount of discomfort experienced by the patient can be significantly reduced compared to the amount experienced by the patient who has the anesthetic applied for just a few moments before the procedure begins. Alternatively, the cover can be used to hold a medicament or agent on the intended portion of the body in order to heal a wound or cure a condition such as a skin rash or the like.

Abstract: The invention relates to a synchronous clocked communication system, for example a distributed automation system, the stations of which can be arbitrary automation components and which are coupled to one another via a data network. Using the disclosed method for integrating decentralized input/output modules, these decentralized input/output modules can be linked into the synchronous clocked communication system in such a manner that they can use their characteristics unrestrictedly. Thus, in particular, the detection of input signals and the output of output signals is possible in a deterministic and synchronous manner in the decentralized input/output modules. In addition, the disclosed method enables input signals to be detected with an accuracy of less than the length of one communication cycle of the communication system and to support the switching of output signals in smaller time granularities than the length of one communication cycle which, in particular, finds use, e.g. for switching cams.
