An energy-efficient device for refining a glass melt to produce a glass and/or a glass ceramic is provided. The device includes a refining crucible defined at least by lateral walls with a metallic lining as a melt contact surface, so that a melt refining volume is defined by a base surface, a top surface and a circumferential surface; at least one heating device that conductively heats the lining by an electric current in the lining, so that the melt is heated through the lining, the heating device and the lining are connected to one another by a feeding device. The feeding device establishes contact with the lining so that an electric current runs from the top surface to the base surface or from the base surface to the top surface, at least in sections of the lining.

Energy efficient high-temperature refining

The invention relates to a method for the plasma treatment of glass surfaces, the metal component, in particular the alkali and/or alkaline-earth metal component in the superficial region of the substrate being reduced by a plasma treatment of a substrate.

In order to improve the emptying of residual contents from containers, such as pharmaceutical packaging, the invention provides corresponding substrates with a hydrophobic coating. Provided for this purpose is a composite material which comprises a substrate and a coating deposited on it, which forms at least a part of the surface of the coated substrate, with the coating having a compound containing the elements C, O, and H, with further elements, apart from Si, C, H, having a content of less than 10 at %, preferably less than 5 at %, characterized in that this compound has a composition SiOCH, in which x is at most 1.2.

Container having improved ease of discharge product residue, and method for the production thereof

The invention relates to layer systems having at least one layer comprising titanium aluminum oxide. The layer comprising titanium aluminum oxide may be either a functional layer&#x2014;with or without interruption by an intermediate layer which is optically inactive&#x2014;or a functional layer formed from a metal oxide which is interrupted by an intermediate layer comprising titanium aluminum oxide. The layer systems are structurally and thermally stable at operating temperatures of over 600&#xb0; C. The layer systems may either comprise only one functional layer or may be a multilayer system, preferably an alternating layer system composed of functional layers with high and low refractive indices.

Layer system

A method of producing substrates with functional layers which have high optical properties and/or a high surface smoothness, in particular a low turbidity and significantly lower roughness, is provided. The method includes a sputtering process for coating a substrate with at least one functional layer, the sputtering process being interrupted at least once by the application of an intermediate layer with a thickness of less than 20 nm.

Process for producing layers and layer systems, and coated substrate

The invention relates to a coated object in which coatings remain of a constant and unchanged high quality despite operating temperatures of more than 350&#xb0; C. This is achieved with interlayers which deliberately interrupt and thereby stabilize the morphology of the coating.

Coated object

There are now provided thin-film solar cells and method of making. The devices comprise a low-cost, low thermal stability substrate with a semiconductor body deposited thereon by a deposition gas. The deposited body is treated with a conversion gas to provide a microcrystalline silicon body. The deposition gas and the conversion gas are subjected to a pulsed electromagnetic radiation to effectuate deposition and conversion.

Thin-film solar cells and method of making

A method for producing permanent integral connections of oxide-dispersed metallic materials by welding. The materials or components to be connected are overlapped to form an overlapping region in a joining region of the overlapping region. The materials or components are heated below the melting temperatures of the materials and are welded to at least partially form a diffusion bond by a welding method. A noble metal foil may be between the components to be connected. The diffusion bond is heated subsequently to a temperature below the melting temperature of the materials or components and the bond is mechanically recompacted by hammering.

The microwave unit door includes a metallic door frame ( ) with an interior glass pane ( ) and outer glass pane ( ) held spaced apart in it. To improve the observability of the interior of the microwave unit without loosing the microwave shielding effect, e.g. previously provided by a metal screen between the glass panes, and to prevent condensate formation, the interior glass pane ( ) closest to the processing space (I) has at least one optically transparent electrically conductive first layer ( ) with a microwave absorption capability such that it heats up to prevent condensate formation during operation. The outer glass pane ( ) has at least one optically transparent electrically conductive second layer ( ) reflecting microwaves passing through the first layer.
