Publication number: 20240076887Abstract: A clamp apparatus is used for securing one end of a flexible sheet spanning under tension across a building opening relative to a perimeter beam along the edge of the building opening. The clamp apparatus has a C-shaped channel body having (i) a first flange with a threaded bore therein to receive a bolt defining a first clamping jaw and (ii) a second flange defining an opposing second clamping jaw, whereby the clamp apparatus clamps a perimeter mounted flange of the flexible sheet onto a beam flange of the perimeter beam. C-shaped stiffener plates are mounted externally on the channel body, spaced apart from one another along the length of the channel body in perpendicular relation to the length to reinforce the clamp such that the clamp is able to withstand high wind forces acting on the tensioned sheet.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Joseph Kuffner, Ryan Brand Hunter, Alexander Paul Lentowich

Patent number: 11511506Abstract: A rotary tablet press comprises a rotor comprising a rotary drive configured to rotate the rotor and a die plate that rotates with the rotor and comprises a plurality of cavities and a plurality of upper and lower punches. A rotational speed governor is configured to drive the rotary drive of the rotor by comparing a measured rotor rotational speed with a target rotational speed value. A pilot control apparatus is configured to provide an additional target torque for driving the rotary drive. The additional target torque is based on values of a pressing force of at least one of the upper and lower punches input into the pilot control apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2018Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Fette Compacting GmbHInventor: Alexander Brand

Patent number: 10347566Abstract: A carrier and the clip are used to produce a packaging having a lead frame by connection to the chip using sintering of the solidified sintering pastes in one work step. The carrier may be a lead frame and a clip for at least one semiconductor element has at least one functional surface for connecting to the semiconductor element and a plurality of connections. The material of the earlier or of the clip includes a metal and a layer made of a solidified sintering paste. The sintering paste may contain silver and/or a silver compound. The sintering paste is arranged on the functional surface. The carrier or clip and the layer made of sintering paste form an intermediate product that can be connected to the semiconductor element.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2015Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: HERAEUS DEUTSCHLAND GMBH & CO.

Publication number: 20060013722Abstract: The introduction of undesired intermetallic phases (IMP) is reduced in lead-free solder joints. For this purpose, solder pastes are prepared, which have a metal powder mixture that generates a melting range of at least about 5° Kelvin and preferably less than about 30° Kelvin. Suitable for this purpose are metal powder mixtures, in which the melting points of the metal powder components lie apart from each other more than about 5° Kelvin, particularly more than about 10° Kelvin, preferably more than about 15° K, and optionally less than about 30° Kelvin, particularly up to about 25° Kelvin. However, metal powder mixtures are also possible, in which the melting point spread can equal about 100° Kelvin and more, if the higher melting component dissolves in the melt below the melting point of this component, so that the melting range can be held under about 30° Kelvin. With these solder pastes undesired intermetallic phases can be held nearly arbitrarily low.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2005Publication date: January 19, 2006Inventors: Alexander Brand, Steffen Grebner, Wolfgang Schmitt, Jorg Trodler

Patent number: 6016831Abstract: The invention relates to a pressure regulator for a fuel system. The pressure regulator includes a housing assembled out of at least two housing parts. A membrane unit is securely installed in a sealed fashion between the housing parts. The securing region that securely holds the two housing parts and the membrane unit in a sealed fashion has an elastic region so that the desired secure connection is assured by simply snapping the two housing parts together. The device is provided in particular for regulating a pressure in a fuel system.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1999Date of Patent: January 25, 2000Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Bueser, Dietmar Schmieder, Willi Strohl, Dieter Issler, Jochen Rose, Alexander Brand, Rudolf Meidinger, Erich Eiler, Frantisek Buric, Jaroslay Moucka
