An efficient and low-cost approach to manufacture Opto-Mechatronic Interconnect Devices will be obligatory to handle the strongly increasing amount of data. The presented approach is based on a flexographic printing process. ...

Different thermal treatments were performed for the anti-oxidation of steel surfaces, and the processes were investigated ex-situ and in-situ by surface sensitive reflection mode EXAFS experiments at the Cr and Fe K-edges. ...

High temperature applications of printed circuit boards (PCB) require materials with specifically adapted properties. Hence, conventional electrically isolating glass fiber and epoxy-resin materials have to be replaced by ...

Chip breakers are essential for achieving reproducible and safe turning processes. In case of cemented carbide tools with standard ISO geometries, they are manufactured by form pressing before sintering. In form turning ...

The application of local aluminum (Al)-alloyed contacts to the p-type base of silicon solar cells reduces minority charge carrier recombination due to the formation of a local back surface field (LBSF). We study the ...

Recent research has revealed that image-based methods can enhance accuracy and safety in laser microsurgery. In this study, non-rigid tracking using surgical stereo imaging and its application to laser ablation is discussed. ...
