A sensor for determining the concentration of a gas in gas mixtures, which has a measuring and a reference electrode as well as a polymer layer, which is in contact with the gas mixture and with the measuring electrode. A pH sensitive electrode is provided as the measuring electrode.

Sensor for determining gases and method for manufacturing the sensor

A metering device, a metering element, and a method for operating same, the metering element having a storage container open on one side for receiving the substances to be metered and a plunger which is axially movable and reversibly seals the opening of the storage container and which preferably has at least one centrally located metering opening for metering the substances provided in the storage container, the plunger including a separation device for particles.

Metering device and method for operating same

In a method for evaluating mechanical tests of a coating on a substrate, in a first step a mechanical stress is applied onto the coating, in a second step the substrate having the coating is isothermally clamped, in a third step an infrared photograph is generated of the region in which the mechanical stress is applied onto the coating in the first step, and in a fourth step the infrared photograph is evaluated. A device is arranged for carrying out the method.

Method for evaluating mechanical tests of a coating

A method is provided for detecting not fully set coatings and liquid or smearing impurities on a surface, in which in a first step a film is pressed onto a surface of a coating using a predefined press-on pressure, the film having a relative motion with respect to the surface of the coating, thereafter the film is pulled off the surface of the coating and finally it is determined whether impurities are adhering to the film. A device is also provided for performing the method, including at least one film, which may be pressed against a surface to be tested, at least one press-on roller having a surface by which the film is pressed against the coating, and at least one device for determining whether there are impurities adhering to the film.

Method for detecting impurities on a surface

A potentiometric sensor device for measuring pH value is provided, which sensor device has two electrodes situated on a substrate and applied with the aid of thick-film technology. The two electrodes form an interdigital comb structure on the substrate. The interdigital comb structure allows the sensor device to be manufactured without a reference electrode having a glass body, so that the sensor device may easily be used where the sensor device is subjected to high mechanical loads.

Potentiometric sensor device

A method and a device for inspecting surface coatings on workpieces, in particular of lacquer coatings, using an image capture and/or image processing system. The image capture and/or image processing system is designed to measure and/or process electromagnetic radiation from surface coating and/or a layer beneath it which is at least partially outside of the visible wavelength range.

Automatic detection of coating flaws

A device for determining the viscosity of fluids. The device includes an injector, which has a piston and a hollow cylinder with a nozzle. The device further includes a cannula. The device also includes a forward-feed device with the aid of which the piston is displaceable at a uniform speed.

Device for determining the viscosity of fluids

A device for testing material properties with regard to combined tensile and shear loads, in particular for testing adhesives, includes a device for applying the force, a measuring device, a test piece receptacle, and a test piece having a bonding surface. The test piece is dimensionally stable within the intended limits of the force to be applied. This measure ensures that the shear forces acting on the joint act approximately at a right angle to the bonding surface over the entire test period, so that realistic conclusions may be drawn with regard to the material properties of the tested adhesive.

A measuring device having a plurality of potentiometric electrode pairs situated on a substrate is described. One of the electrodes of each electrode pair represents a reference electrode and the other electrode represents a pH-sensitive working electrode. The electrode pairs form an interdigital structure, and the substrate is covered by a mask in such a way that the individual electrode pairs are separated from one another at least in the area of the interdigital structures of the electrode pairs.

Measuring device having a plurality of potentiometric electrode pairs situated on a substrate

A metering device or a metering element, in particular for metering substances in the compiling of combinatory material libraries, described as comprising a metering element having a supply vessel, open on one side, for holding the substances to be metered, and a plunger, which is axially displaceable and reversibly seals the opening of the supply vessel and which has at least one, preferably centered metering orifice for metering the substances provided in the supply vessel, the supply vessel and/or the plunger having an accommodation as contact point for a mechanical gripping device. Moreover, a metering method is described.
