20100121162CHILD-FRIENDLY ANALYTE MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENT - Embodiments of a child-friendly analyte measurement system are provided for detecting at least one analyte in a bodily fluid. A measurement system comprises at least one measurement instrument for detecting the analyte in the bodily fluid, such as a commercially available measurement instrument. The measurement instrument is configured as a portable hand-held instrument and has a housing with at least one display element. Furthermore, the measurement system comprises a toy, in particular a figurine or a toy animal. The toy has at least one receptacle for reversibly holding the measurement instrument, which receptacle is configured such that if the measurement instrument is held by the receptacle, the display element is accessible, at least in part. The measurement instrument is configured such that it can be used both in the measurement system and also, optionally, independently of the toy. Further aspects include a kit, a method, and the toy for the provided measurement system.05-13-2010

20090068450Method and Apparatus for Multi-Cathode PVD Coating and Substrate with PVD Coating - The invention relates to a method for operating a multi-cathode-PVD-coating system. According to the invention, one part of the cathodes operates after the high power impulse cathodic sputtering which is assisted by magnetic fields and the remainder operates after the direct current magnetic field assisted cathodic sputtering. The high power impulse cathodic sputtering which is assisted by magnetic fields is used as a source of multi-ionised metal ions during the ion-assisted in vacuo pre-treatment of substrates, whilst both types of cathodic sputtering are always used simultaneously during coating and whilst both types of cathodes are connected to different materials.03-12-2009
