Abstract:
A method is provided for reproducibly producing a carbon band twisted about its longitudinal axis. According to the method carbon fibers are fed into a processing device and are formed into a band-shaped preform having a centerline and an edge on both sides thereof. A shorter average fiber length is fed by the processing device when forming the centerline area than when forming the edges. The preform is subsequently further processed into the carbon band.
Abstract:
An apparatus is provided having a chamber for the irradiation of at least one substrate. The apparatus includes a transfer channel for inserting and removing the substrate, a substrate holder inside the chamber, a vacuum pump, and at least one irradiation unit for irradiating the substrate. The irradiation unit has at least one infrared emitter including an integrated reflector.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an infrared radiation source having a long, gas-tight casing tube made of quartz glass, and a heat conductor made of carbon which is situated in the casing tube, the heat conductor being electrically connected to at least two electrical contacts outside the casing tube and being situated at a distance from the casing tube by at least one spacer element and being centered therein, and is characterized in that the heat conductor is designed as a long strip and that the at least one spacer element is designed as a disk, whereby the disk has an opening for passing the heat conductor through, the disk at least partially fills the open cross section between the heat conductor and the casing tube, and the disk is made of carbon fiber-reinforced carbon (CFC).
Abstract:
A device is provided having a holder region including a first holder for a first thread and at least one further holder for at least one further thread, at least one contact area for contacting the first thread and the at least one further thread. At least one radiation source is provided between the holder region and the contact area.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A method for manufacturing an electrically conductive material includes steps of: (a) providing a carbon fiber; (b) providing a plastic fiber that differs from the carbon fiber; (c) producing a mixture in the form of a two-dimensional mat from the carbon fiber and the plastic fiber; (d) drying the mixture, optionally; (e) consolidating the mixture; (f) cutting the mixture to size, optionally; (g) carbonizing the mixture, wherein the carbonized plastic fibers form a carbon-based matrix possessing electrical conductivity that at least partially surrounds the carbon fibers. Electrically conductive materials obtained by the method have an increased electrical resistance. An emitter is specified that contains a transparent or translucent housing and an electrically conductive material as above. These now allow emitters of virtually any length to be operated at customary line voltages.
Abstract:
An irradiation device is provided having a housing having an interior chamber and an infrared emitter arranged therein. The infrared emitter has an emitter tube made of high silica content glass having a round cross section and a defined outer diameter. Electrical connection elements are made of a metallic material and led out from the emitter tube through a seal. In order to provide the emitter with a long service life and potentially higher output, which is also suitable for being enclosed by a seal that separates the regions of different media, temperatures, or pressures, the emitter tube end also has a round cross section and the defined outer diameter. Between the electrical connection element and the emitter tube there is a seal containing at least one transition glass, which has a thermal expansion coefficient lying between that of the metallic material and that of the high silica content glass.
