A laminated core has a plurality of steel plates that are laminated in a thickness direction. The laminated core has a line shaped welding mark connecting a plurality of steel plates. The welding mark extends over the plurality of steel plates at the end face where the plurality of steel plates are exposed. The welding mark has a welding depth which fluctuates with a wavelength that is longer than the thickness of the steel sheet. The welding mark has a continuous portion in which the welding depth extends over a plurality of steel plates without fluctuation. Furthermore, the welding mark has a fluctuation portion in which the welding depth periodically fluctuates over a plurality of steel plates. The depth in the continuous portion is substantially equal to the depth in the fluctuation portion.

A display panel includes a base, a plurality of conductive connectors disposed on the base, a plurality of leads arranged on the base along an edge of the display panel, and at least one groove located between the conductive connectors and the edge. One end of each lead is connected to a corresponding conductive connector, and another end thereof extends to the edge of the display panel. At least one lead is divided into at least two parts by the at least one groove, and a depth of the groove is greater than or equal to a thickness of the lead.

A device configured for a treatment with a laser, including a support transparent for the laser and at least one optoelectronic circuit including at least one optoelectronic component having a three-dimensional semiconductor element covered with an active layer, the three-dimensional semiconductor element including a base bonded to the support, the device including a region absorbing for the laser resting on the support and surrounding the base.

The present invention concerns a method of determination of specific points of a rotary fibre forming spinner wheel (10) used in a fibre forming device (1), said method comprising the following steps: obtaining measurements of temperatures of the fibre forming spinner wheel obtained by means of a temperature measuring device (40) adapted to take measurements of temperatures of the spinner wheel at a plurality of angular positions of said measuring device in order to supply data to at least one calculation unit (30, 45) that constructs a curve representing the temperature as a function of the angular position of a temperature measuring device; processing said measurements by effecting a calculation of the second derivative of the curve of the temperature as a function of the angular position by means of a calculation unit (30); searching for at least one specific point for which the second derivative satisfies a predefined condition.

An irradiation device for an additively manufacturing apparatus may include a working beam generation device configured to provide a working beam, a modulation beam generation device configured to provide a modulation beam, and a solid-state optical modulator that includes a crystalline material that exhibits a change in refractive index in response to photoexcitation of free electrons within the crystalline material. The irradiation device may include a power source coupled to the solid-state optical modulator and configured to introduce free electrons into the crystalline material. The modulation beam may cause photoexcitation of the free electrons within the crystalline material. The photoexcitation of the free electrons within the crystalline material may cause the crystalline material to exhibit a change in refractive index. The working beam, when incident upon the crystalline material, may exhibit a change in one or more parameters, such as a phase shift, attributable at least in part to the change in refractive index exhibited by the crystalline material.
