An explosion-proof housing includes at least one metal housing part having at least one of a housing opening or receiving surface, and a support edge bordering said at least one of a housing opening or receiving surface. A cover part covers said at least one of a housing opening or the receiving surface. The cover part includes a peripheral cover edge which is connected to the support edge in an explosion-proof manner such that in the event of an explosion inside the housing, the explosion is prevented from crossing over to an explosive atmosphere surrounding the housing. A plurality of connection points are formed between the support edge and the cover edge. The connection points include interlocking depressions and protrusions. The protrusions are formed by partial melting of the cover edge. The depressions and the protrusions interlock with play in a longitudinal direction of the housing.

A vacuum cell including a vacuum chamber, a first bond, and a second bond is described. The first bond affixes a first portion of the vacuum cell to a second portion of the vacuum cell. The first bond has a first bonding temperature and a first debonding temperature greater than the first bonding temperature. The second bond affixes a third portion of the vacuum cell to a fourth portion of the vacuum cell. The second bond has a second bonding temperature and a second debonding temperature. The second bonding temperature is less than the first debonding temperature.

A device (1) for the detecting and registering of measurement data, having a first housing (2) in which electronics (7) are arranged, and having at least one sensor (14), which is electrically connected to the electronics (7). The first housing (2) includes at least two housing parts (3, 4), having at least one metallic connection site and being joined together at the connection site by a gas-tight metal/metal connection. The at least one sensor (13) is arranged in a second housing (11), which encloses the first housing (2) substantially entirely, and which includes at least two housing parts (12, 15), which are detachably joined together or can be so joined.

This hermetic sealing lid member (1) is made of a clad material (10) including a base material layer (11) made of an Fe alloy that contains 4 mass % or more of Cr and a silver brazing layer (13) bonded onto a surface of the base material layer on a side closer to an electronic component housing member through an intermediate layer (12).

Various embodiments of a sealed package and a method of forming such package are disclosed. The package can include a non-conductive substrate that includes a cavity disposed in a first major surface. A cover layer can be disposed over the cavity and attached to the first major surface of the non-conductive substrate to form a sealed enclosure. The sealed package can also include a feedthrough that includes a via between a recessed surface of the cavity and a second major surface of the substrate, and a conductive material disposed in the via. An external contact can be disposed over the via on the second major surface of the non-conductive substrate, where the external contact is electrically connected to the conductive material disposed in the via. The sealed package can also include an electronic device disposed within the sealed enclosure that is electrically connected to the external contact.

This hermetic sealing lid member (10) is made of a clad material (20) including a silver brazing layer (21) that contains Ag and Cu and a first Fe layer (22) bonded onto the silver brazing layer and made of Fe or an Fe alloy. The hermetic sealing lid member is formed in a box shape including a recess portion (13) by bending the clad material.

An enclosure configured to hermetically seal electronics of a surgical instrument therein includes a first casing component defining a first weld deck about a perimeter thereof, a second casing component defining a second weld deck about a perimeter thereof, and an energy director extending from the first weld deck and configured to facilitate ultrasonic welding of the first and second weld decks of the first and second casing components, respectively, with one another to establish a weld seam hermetically sealing the first and second casing components. The first weld deck lies in multiple planes.

Welding of transparent material in electronic devices. An electronic device may include an enclosure having at least one aperture formed through a portion of the enclosure. The electronic device may also include a component positioned within the aperture formed through the portion of the enclosure. The component may be laser welded to the aperture formed through the enclosure. Additionally, the component may include transparent material. A method for securing a component within an electronic device may include providing an electronic device enclosure including at least one aperture, and positioning a component within the aperture formed through the enclosure. The component positioned within the aperture may include a transparent material. The method may also include welding the component to the electronic device enclosure.

The invention relates to a method (5) for producing a housing (1) for electronics that are used to control an electric motor, wherein the housing (1) is formed by a first housing element (30) and a second housing element (40). According to the invention, the housing elements (30, 40) are composed of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. Furthermore, at least one of the housing elements (30, 40) is created by means of a die-casting method (52). The housing elements (30, 40) are connected to each other tightly, in particular in a fluid-impermeable manner, by means of welding (60).

The invention relates to an explosion-proof housing and to a method for connecting a housing part and a cover part, wherein the housing is formed at least from a metal housing part with at least one housing opening and/or receiving surface and a support edge which borders said housing opening and/or receiving surface and with a cover part which covers the housing opening or receiving surface and comprises a peripheral cover edge. The cover part and the housing part are connected together in an explosion-proof manner. In order to improve such a housing such that a corresponding connection of the housing part and cover part can be produced in a simple and secure manner without the use of adhesive in order to form an explosion-proof housing and such that the housing part and the cover part have a high degree of connection stability, a plurality of connection points between the support edge and the cover edge is formed as interlocking depressions and protrusions, the protrusions being formed by partial melting the cover edge.
