A method to control operation of a robot includes generating at least one virtual image by an optical 3D measurement system and with respect to a 3D measurement coordinate system, the at least one virtual image capturing a surface region of a component. The method further includes converting a plurality of point coordinates of the virtual image into point coordinates with respect to a robot coordinate system by a transformation instruction and controlling a tool element of the robot using the point coordinates with respect to the robot coordinate system so as to implement the operation.

A high-lift system for an aircraft includes a high-lift flap which is arranged on the wing of the aircraft and is mounted on a carriage coupled to the wing, the carriage being displaceably mounted on a track by means of a high-lift bearing. The high-lift bearing includes a plain bearing.

A welding method for producing an integral bond of fiber-reinforced plastics parts includes a welding head penetrating one of the plastics parts. The method includes reinforcing at least a first plastics part by a plurality of directional fibers. The re-inforcing fibers reorient themselves within the connection region without severing or breaking.

Component having an integral bond and a joining method

A component includes at least first and second plastics component parts which are interconnected in a connection zone. A reinforcing element includes at least one wire which bridges the connection zone. The first and second plastics component parts are welded together and/or are fused together in the connection zone. The plastics component parts may be bonded to one another.

The invention relates to a connection arrangement for connecting two profiled elements in a seamless and aerodynamically smooth manner in order to form a profiled surface around which a laminar flow is possible. A first profiled element has a first fixing strip that extends towards the second profiled element, and the surface of the first fixing strip is lower than the surfaces of the profiled elements in the outward direction. Furthermore, the second profiled element has a second fixing strip which is molded on the inside and which is arranged below the first fixing strip, and the two profiled elements are rigidly connected to each other by means of the second fixing strip. A filler region that can be found below the connecting surface between the profiled surfaces and above the fixing strip surface is tilled with at least two layers of cured filling material. A method for filling the filling region with filling material and a device for carrying out the method are also claimed.

A method and apparatus for process control in both the production of uniform material layers using vapor deposition, sputtering, chemical deposition, etc. and the treating of material layers. In particular, the process and apparatus are particularly useful in semiconductor fabrication where ion implantation or diffusion is used. A brief test signal of preset shape, frequency spectrum, or frequency sequence is applied at given time intervals to the material layer whose production characteristics need to be monitored. The measuring signal is applied to a digital evaluation circuit in a process control computer. The signal has various components whose time constants and/or conductivities are different from one another and which together are characteristics of the current flowing through the layer being monitored. In particular, the current flowing over the surface layer i.sub.1, the current flowing through particle houndary areas i.sub.3, and the current through homogeneous material ranges i.sub.2 can be distinguished from one another. The results from the measuring signal can be compared to stored reference values for the layer. Discrepancies between the actual and desired values are measured and used to adjust the process in a known fashion.
