A method is for forming an oil-repellent film on a metallic part in a dynamic fluid pressure bearing mechanism used for a motor. The method includes applying a flowable oil-repellent agent on an application region of the metallic part; arranging an induction coil in the vicinity of the metallic part; and affixing the oil-repellent agent onto the metallic part by applying an induction heating to the metallic part by supplying an AC current with a frequency of about 5 to 100 kHz to the induction coil. Further, a motor includes a dynamic fluid pressure bearing mechanism including a metallic part on which an oil-repellent film is formed by the above method; a stator unit; and a rotor unit supported by the dynamic fluid pressure bearing mechanism in a manner rotatable with respect to the stator unit.

The subject invention pertains to a method and apparatus for etching copper (Cu). The subject invention can involve passing a halide gas over an area of Cu such that CuX, or CuX and CuX₂, are formed, where X is the halide. Examples of halides which can be utilized with the subject matter include, but are not necessarily limited to, Cl, Br, F, and I. Once the CuX, or CuX and CuX₂, are formed the subject invention can then involve passing a reducing gas over the area of Cu for a sufficient time to etch away at least a portion of the CuX, or CuX₂, respectively. With respect to a specific embodiment in which CuX and CuX₂ are produced when the halide gas is passed over the area of Cu, the reducing gas can be passed until essentially all of the CUX₂ is etched and at least a portion of the CuX is etched. Examples of reducing gases which can be utilized with the subject invention include, but are not necessarily limited to, hydrogen gas and hydrogen gas plasma. The subject invention can accomplish the etching of Cu by passing the reducing gas over the Cu so as to be on a CuX₂—Cu₃X₂ metastable line when etching CuX₂ and to be a CuY—CuX metastable line, where Y is the reducing gas element, when etching CuX. FIGS. 5, 6, and 8, show such metastable lines for Cu, with X being Cl, from temperatures ranging from 50° C. to 200° C. These can be extrapolated to other temperatures, for other halides, and/or other reducing gases. The subject invention can be used to, for example, etch partial into a layer of Cu, through a layer of Cu, or to smooth a Cu surface.

The invention relates to a method for producing a microwave filter (700), comprising making at least one through-cutout (750) in a first electrically conductive plate (740) shaped as a rectangle, with a short side and a long side, inserting the first plate (740) between a second (710) and a third (730) electrically conductive plate (710), the first plate being arranged parallel to the second and the third plate, making electrical connections (794, 795) between said three plates for interconnecting those edge surfaces on the plates which coincide with the direction of propagation of the electrical signals, as a result of which a space comprising one or more cavities is formed. The first plate (740) is arranged so that the extent of its short side coincides with the E-field of the microwave signals when they propagate in the filter (700), and the extent of its long side coincides with the direction of propagation of the electrical signals.

For manufacturing a component formed of a plurality of moldings, which are made of plastic, are welded together. A first molding is manufactured in a first mold that has a first mold part and is then transported with the first mold part into a welding station. Correspondingly, a second molding is manufactured in a second mold that has a second mold part and is transported with the second mold part into the welding station. The mold parts holding the moldings are moved towards one another in the welding station such that the moldings are welded together. Additional moldings are manufactured in the molds simultaneously with the welding of the moldings.

A fixture for recycling bottles made of plastics, which includes a base plate and means for anchoring the bottles arranged on the upper side of the base plate and engaging in indentations provided on the bottle bottoms, and a recycling bottle made of plastics to be used with such a fixture and including an indentation on its bottle bottom. In order to facilitate handling of the bottles for recycling purposes and to enable the automated determination of possible deposits for the bottles as well as the simple and rapid recyclability of the bottles, it is provided that the anchoring means, in a sense oriented away from the upper side of the base plate, have decreasing cross sections and barb-shaped formations. Thus, the optimum support of the bottles on the fixture is safeguarded. Preferably, the base plate is located within the projection of the bottles onto the base plate.

An accumulator for a cooling fluid is provided that includes a floor. The floor has an interface for connecting a chamber of the accumulator to at least one cooling tube. The floor also has an opening that extends at least over a partial area of the chamber.

Measuring of the binding of a transcription factor (using, for example, chromatin immunoprecipitation) according to the present invention is provides an improved marker for a disease. These markers can be used in diagnostics for diseases where a transcription factor binding event plays a role. Additionally, they can be used to adjust disease risk profiles for healthy individuals as with typical genetic variants.
