A workpiece composite includes a preform part and a gel accommodated in a recess in the preform, the recess being enclosed by at least one edge which serves as a creep barrier to prevent the gel from spreading. The at least one edge of the recess defines a termination point of at least one surface which is provided with a coating made of an oleophobic material in an area adjacent to the at least one edge.

A layer system is described including a silicon layer and a passivation layer which is applied at least regionally to the silicon layer's surface, the passivation layer having a first, at least largely inorganic partial layer and a second partial layer, the second partial layer being made of an organic compound including silicon or containing such a material. In particular, the second partial layer is structured in the form of a 'self-assembled monolayer.' Furthermore, a method is described for creating a passivation layer on a silicon layer, a first, inorganic partial layer being created on the silicon layer and a second partial layer, containing an organic compound including silicon or being made thereof, being created at least in certain areas on the first partial layer. Both partial layers form the passivation layer. The described layer system or the described method is particularly suited for creating self-supporting structures in silicon.

A method and a control unit for operating an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle are provided, in particular for controlling/regulating the internal combustion engine as a function of an air-mass sensor signal from a first air-mass sensor. A first auxiliary signal, which is obtained arithmetically from an additional sensory system or from models of the internal combustion engine, allows a plausibility control or the substitution of the air-mass sensor signal in the case of signal interference of the air-mass sensor signal, and thereby ensures that the internal combustion engine is able to continue working in the optimal operating point.

A bridge-type ignition element for initiating the ignition of pyrotechnical materials lying above it by heating when an electric current is passed through it. The bridge-type element is essentially made up of a resistance layer applied to a substrate, a reactive layer, applied on top of that, made of especially an oxidizable metal and a polymeric cover layer situated on top of that, whose material is selected in such a way that it is able to react exothermally at an elevated temperature with the oxidizable material of the reactive layer. The polymeric cover layer makes possible not only a lower energy requirement but also achieves corrosion protection from the surroundings and from the pyrotechnical material.

A lubricant varnish component and a lubricant varnish, for example, for coating elastomer profiles, are provided, wherein lubricant varnish component includes a polyurethane, a siloxane as well as a polyamide powder, a polyethylene powder or a solution of a polyamide. The lubricant varnish may additionally contain a curing agent, in particular an isocyanate-based curing agent. In addition, a first method for coating elastomers is proposed, wherein the proposed lubricant varnish is first applied in the form of a coating to an elastomer profile, and this coating then being dried and/or thermally crosslinked. Also, the proposed lubricant varnish, having or not having polyamide or polyethylene, may first be applied in the form of a first coat to the elastomer profile, and an alcoholic or aqueous solution of a polyamide in the form of a second coat or a polyamide powder or a polyethylene powder may then being applied to the first coat. The proposed lubricant varnish is suitable, for example, for the production of coated windshield wiper blades having a reduced coefficient of dry friction.

An optical waveguide is described which has a core and a sheath, each of which is made of a fully fluorinated fluorocarbon material. In particular, a fully fluorinated Teflon material such as Teflon AF 1600 or Teflon AF 2400, or a mixture thereof, is suitable as the fully fluorinated fluorocarbon. The optical waveguide is optically transparent around the 1300 nm and/or 1550 nm wave band. Furthermore, the core of the optical waveguide may have a refractive index that is higher than the refractive index of the sheath. The optical waveguide is suitable for use as, for example, an integrated optical waveguide for transmitting information in optical telecommunications.
