Publication number: 20240162129Abstract: A substrate arrangement includes: a first metallization layer, nanowires arranged on a surface of the first metallization layer; and a component arranged on the first metallization layer such that a first subset of the nanowires is arranged between the first metallization layer and the component. The nanowires are evenly distributed over a section of the surface area or over the entire surface area of the first metallization layer. Each nanowire includes first and second ends. The first end of each nanowire is inseparably connected to the surface of the first metallization layer. The second end of each nanowire of the first subset is inseparably connected to a surface of one of the component such that the first subset of nanowires forms a permanent connection between the first metallization layer and the component. There are fewer nanowires in the first subset of nanowires than there are total nanowires.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Christoph Bayer, Michael Fügl, Frank Singer, Thorsten Meyer, Fabian Craes, Andreas Grassmann, Frederik Otto

Patent number: 11944036Abstract: A forage harvester with at least one work assembly is disclosed. The forage harvester has a corn cracker to process grain components and a driver assistance system. The driver assistance system controls the corn cracker by adjusting the machine parameters of the corn cracker. In particular, the driver assistance system has an optimization model which includes a multidimensional characteristic map that represents a relationship between a processing quality of the grain components and at least three parameters that comprise an input parameter representing a current harvesting process state and at least one machine parameter of the corn cracker as an output parameter. Thus, the driver assistance system determines the output parameter in the control routine during the harvesting process based on the varying input parameter from the optimization model and adjusts it in the corn cracker to achieve a uniform given processing quality of the grain components during the harvesting process.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: CLAAS Selbstfahrende Erntemaschinen GmbHInventors: Christoph Heitmann, Sven Carsten Belau, Ingo Bönig, Jan Meyer zu Hörste

Patent number: 10830861Abstract: A method for direction finding is described wherein incoming signals are scanned and analyzed. The bearing value and its quality of the incoming signals are determined by using a direction finding method. A covariance matrix is generated from the incoming signals by using a multiple-wave detector unit. The dimension of the covariance matrix is reduced in order to obtain a reduced covariance matrix. The eigenvalues of the reduced covariance matrix are determined. Then, it is determined whether more than one signal, a single signal or no signal is detected by using the eigenvalues and the quality determined by using the direction finding method. Further, a direction finder is described.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2017Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: Rohde & Schwarz GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Moritz Stein, Christoph Meyer
