Abstract
Abstract A radiation receiver comprises an inner cylindrical part of insulating material having a closed end and an opposite end with a radially extending annular flange. At least one sensor is mounted on the inner part preferably on the closed end thereof and on its exterior. At least one conductor track lead provided on the inner part extending from the sensor on the exterior wall of the inner part and along the exterior of the flange. An outer cylindrical part having a closed end and an opposite open end has a rim surrounding the end which is engaged on the flange over the track at a location to leave an outer extending portion of the track extending outwardly from the exterior of said outer cylindrical part and along said flange. A glass solder seam seals the outer cylindrical part to the flange of the inner cylindrical part around the rim. In accordance with the method of the invention it is carried out using the inner and outer cylindrical parts by arranging a sensor on the exterior surface of the inner part, applying conductive leads on the inner part extending from the sensor along the exterior wall of the inner part and outwardly along the flange thereof. Thereafter the outer part is applied over the inner part so that the rim engages over the flange leaving an exterior track extending outwardly therefrom along the flange. Thereafter, a glass solder is applied around the rim and over the track and the flange of the inner part.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
A radiation receiver, comprising an inner cylindrical part of insulating material having a closed end and an opposite open end with a radially extending annular flange, at least one sensor on said inner part adjacent said closed end, at least one conductor track lead on said inner part extending from said sensor to and along said flange, and an outer cylindrical part having a closed end and an opposite open end having a surrounding rim adjacent said open end which is engaged on said flange and over said track lead leaving an outer extension of said track lead extending outwardly on said flange from said outer part, and a glass solder seam sealing said outer part with said inner part around the rim of said outer part and the flange of said inner part.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
A radiation receiver, comprising an inner cylindrical part of insulating material having a closed end and an opposite open end with a radially extending annular flange, at least one sensor on said inner part adjacent said closed end, at least one conductor track lead on said inner part extending from said sensor to and along said flange, and an outer cylindrical part having a closed end and an opposite open end having a surrounding rim adjacent said open end which is engaged on said flange and over said track lead leaving an outer extension of said track lead extending outwardly on said flange from said outer part, and a glass solder seam sealing said outer part with said inner part around the rim of said outer part and the flange of said inner part.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
A radiation receiver according to claim 1, wherein said seam comprises at least partly recrystallized glass solder.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A radiation receiver according to claim 1, wherein the width of said conductor track lead at the location on said flange becomes larger toward the outer circumference of said flange.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
A radiation receiver according to claim 1, wherein there are a plurality of sensors on said inner member, said at least one conductor track lead comprising a conductor track lead for each sensor and each having a plurality of metal layers.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
40 words
A radiation receiver according to claim 1, wherein said at least one conductor track lead comprises a plurality of layers deposited directly on the exterior surface of said inner part, the innermost one of said layers comprising a chromium layer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
A radiation receiver according to claim 5, wherein said plurality of layers includes an intermediate layer on said chromium layer comprising a copper or titanium.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
31 words
A radiation receiver according to claim 1, wherein said at least one conductor track lead comprises a plurality of metal layers including an outer layer of a precious metal, particularly gold.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
A radiation receiver according to claim 1, wherein said at least one conductor track layer is a vapor deposited layer.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
15 words
A radiation receiver according to claim 1, wherein said inner part comprises a glass material.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
33 words
A radiation receiver according to claim 1, wherein said inner and outer parts are made of a glass material, said outer part being light transmissive at least in the vicinity of said sensor.
Claim 12
Independent Claim
151 words
A method of forming a radiation receiver using an inner part of insulating material in cylindrical form having a closed end and an opposite open end with a surrounding flange and an outer cylindrical part having an open end with a rim surrounding the open end which comprises arranging the sensor on the surface of the inner part adjacent the closed end, applying conductive material lead strips onto the surface of said inner part extending from said sensor along the surface of said inner part and outwardly along the surface of said flange, applying the outer part over the inner part so that the rim engages over the flange at a location leaving an exterior track lead portion extending outwardly of said outer part along said flange, thereafter applying a glass solder between the rim of the outer part and the flange of the inner part to seal these parts together.
Claim 13
Independent Claim
151 words
A method of forming a radiation receiver using an inner part of insulating material in cylindrical form having a closed end and an opposite open end with a surrounding flange and an outer cylindrical part having an open end with a rim surrounding the open end which comprises arranging the sensor on the surface of the inner part adjacent the closed end, applying conductive material lead strips onto the surface of said inner part extending from said sensor along the surface of said inner part and outwardly along the surface of said flange, applying the outer part over the inner part so that the rim engages over the flange at a location leaving an exterior track lead portion extending outwardly of said outer part along said flange, thereafter applying a glass solder between the rim of the outer part and the flange of the inner part to seal these parts together.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
62 words
A method according to claim 11, wherein the glass solder is initially deposited in a predetermined amount in an area provided for a seam between the outer and inner parts, then heating the glass solder until it becomes plasticized and the inner part becomes joined to the outer part, then bringing about the recrystallization of the glass solder by a tempering process.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
31 words

Claim 16
Dependent Claim
38 words
A method according to claim 11, wherein the metal track lead is formed by a large surface deposition on the inner part and thereafter a portion of the formation is removed in areas in which insulation is necessary.
