Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for fixation of a first movable component (4) of a micro-mechanical structural element to a stationary or moving second component (5) of the structural element, wherein a lateral surface of the first component and a lateral surface of the second component face one another. In the method, a layer (10) protruding from the lateral surface is produced on a side of one or both components (4, 5) adjoining the lateral surface. The movable first component is moved (4) for fixation against the second component (5) in such a manner that the protruding layer area slides over the side of the first or second component (4, 5) adjoining the lateral side or, in the case of a protruding layer (10) present on both components (4, 5), the protruding layer areas slide one over another such that, due to static friction, the protruding layer area (10) adheres to the component (4, 5) thereunder, or the protruding layer areas adhere to one another. With the proposed method it is possible to subsequently reduce gap widths between a movable structure element and a fixed or movable structure element with little effort.

Abstract

The invention relates to a switchable coupling, in particular for passenger vehicle auxiliary assemblies, with an actuating system, which is actuated electrically, mechanically, pneumatically or hydraulically, between a driving element, which is designed, for example, in the form of a pulley, and an output element, wherein the actuating system contains a switching element which, upon actuation of the actuating system, is movable between a switching start position and a switching end position counter to the force of one or more resetting elements, for example springs, wherein, in the switching end position, the switching element produces an operative connection between the driving element and the output element such that, when the driving element rotates, the output element and also an auxiliary coupling connected to the output element are caused to rotate, wherein, after deactuation of the actuating system, the locking bodies located on the auxiliary coupling produce a frictional and/or form-fitting operative connection between the driving element and the output element such that, even after deactuation of the actuating system, a torque can be conducted from the driving element to the output element, wherein the operative connection is interrupted only when the rotational speed of the driving element falls below a limit value. The advantage of this solution consists in the coupling not requiring a permanent supply of power in the switching states "coupling = closed" and "coupling = open".

Abstract

A switchable coupling (1) with a coupling system (4) between a driving element (2) and an output element (3), wherein the switchable coupling (1) has a preferably electromagnetic actuator (5) and a switching element (6) in the operative vicinity of the actuator (5), and at least one elastic actuating element (10) arranged between the output element (3) and the switching element (6). The switching element (6) is movable in an infinitely variable manner between a starting position (7) via a central position (8) as far as an end position (9), wherein, in the central position (8) of the switching element (6), the switchable coupling (1) has a different state (open or closed) than in the starting position (7). The switchable coupling (1) also has a bolt (11) which is fixedly positioned in the axial direction within the switchable coupling (1) by means of a first bolt stop (12) and a second bolt stop (13). By means of the axial movement of the switching element (6) to and fro upon activation and deactivation of the actuator (5), operative surfaces (24 and 28) of a rotational system (23) connected to the switching element (6) or the bolt (11) come into engagement with moulded elements (26, 27, 30, 31) on the switching element (6) and on the bolt (11) in such a manner that the bolt (11) is rotated in a stepwise manner in relation to the switching element (6). As a result, the bolt alternately moves relative to the switching element into a first relative position (16), in which the bolt blocks a movement of the switching element (6) in the central position (8), and into a second relative position (18), in which said bolt permits a movement of the switching element (6) as far as the starting position.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for the production of membranes that can be electrically and/or magnetically activated, particularly for switches or pumps. In the method, microparticles and/or nanoparticles (5) having magnetic and/or electric properties are mixed with a matrix material in a flowable state, which has elastic properties after solidification. The matrix material is applied to a substrate as a layer (1), and a distribution of the particles in the layer (1) is selectively modified by means of one or more electric and/or magnetic fields in order to achieve an accumulation (2, 3) of the particles (5) on one or a plurality of locations in the layer (1). The layer (1) is subsequently solidified using the accumulated particles in order to form one or more membranes (16). The invention also relates to a magnetic actuator having such a membrane. The method enables the use of elastic membranes having magnetic, or magnetizable, particles incorporated therein, without having an adverse influence on the elastic properties in certain regions of the membrane.

Abstract

In a method for determining intensity values within the scope of a diffractometric intensity measurement on a sample, in each case at least one intensity value is determined for each measurement position of a first plurality of measurement positions within a measurement region in a first measurement procedure. Furthermore, based on the determined intensity values, the form of at least one partial region of the measurement region is determined. Furthermore, a second plurality of measurement positions is determined, wherein in the at least one partial region of the measurement region, there are more measurement positions of the second plurality of measurement positions than measurement positions of the first plurality of measurement positions. Furthermore, for each measurement position of the second plurality of measurement positions, in each case at least one intensity value is determined in a second measurement procedure. The measurement resolution is adapted to an observed texture and the measurement time is reduced by not repeating measurements in the second measurement operation that have been carried out in the first measurement operation.
