  • Patent number: 11107943
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for transporting an arrangement of flexible circuit substrates produced on a transport substrate during the production of a laminate from the arranged circuit substrates, as well as—building thereon—a method and a device for producing a laminate of flexible circuit substrates. In the method, a film is applied to the arranged circuit substrates on the side thereof opposite the transport substrate, with the result that the film comes to lie over the transport substrate in at least two sections that are separate from each other and are not covered by a circuit substrate, and runs between them continuously over at least one of the circuit substrates.

  • Patent number: 9601651
    Abstract: A flexible solar module strand manufactured by a method including providing a first conveyor track for applying flexible solar cells; guiding the first conveyor track around two or more deflecting means; providing individual flexible solar cells; applying the individual solar cells to the first conveyor track; deflecting the first conveyor track by guiding the first conveyor track over a first one of the deflecting means; separating the first conveyor track from the at least one deflected solar cell strip in such a manner that the solar cells are released, with their respective first or second sides facing the first conveyor track, from the first conveyor track; and applying the at least one deflected solar cell strip to a first film web in such a manner that the solar cells are oriented, with their respective first or second sides separated from the first conveyor track, away from the first film web.

  • Patent number: 8769715
    Abstract: Protection for a body part of a user, such as a leg protection for a football player, comprising a stiff protective plate with a shape being adapted to the body part. This protective plate, which preferably is fiber reinforced, displays an outer surface arranged to be turned away from the user and an inner surface arranged to be turned facing the user. One or more shock absorbing elements, such as strips or cones, are arranged on the inner surface of the protective plate, along the periphery of the protective plate. Thereby a protection is achieved which has a low weight, is gentle to the skin and stays well in place.

  • Publication number: 20130213456
    Abstract: A thin film solar module including a first film web, a series of electrically conductive contact pads arranged at intervals on the first film web, where the contact pads each have a first and a second area, and a series of flexible thin film solar cells. The thin film solar cells each include a first side which at least partially forms a first electrically conductive pole, a second side, which at least partially forms a second electrically conductive pole, a photovoltaically active layer composition, and at least one electrical contact located on the layer composition, which contacts the first electrically conductive pole, wherein the electrical conductor extends past a side of the photovoltaically active layered composition.

  • Patent number: 7982154
    Abstract: sorting device for RFID tags, comprising a dispensing unit for supplying RFID tags which are applied to a transport belt to a dispensing area, in which the RFID tags are detached from the transport belt; a pick-up unit having a plurality of transport units for respectively picking up the RFID tags in a respective pick-up area onto a corresponding transport belt of the transport units and a positioning device for positioning the dispensing area and a selected pick-up area with respect to one another so that the RFID tags detached from the transport belt in the dispensing area are picked up by the pick-up area of the selected transport unit.

  • Patent number: 7815394
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for a watercraft for picking up and launching boats. The device comprises an extension arm that is coupled in such a manner that it can swing freely on the watercraft, that extends at an acute angle in relation to the surface of the water and floats in water by means of floats. The extension arm comprises guide tracks for a boat retrieving device that is maintained on the extension arm in a longitudinally displaceable manner. The boat retrieving device comprises a holding head that is articulated in a displaceable manner on a running part guided on the guide rails, about an axis that is horizontal and approximately transversal in relation to the extension arm. The running part is connected to the drive means for longitudinally displacing the boat retrieving device. The holding head comprises at least one adjusting means that acts upon its adjusting movement about the horizontal axis.

  • Publication number: 20070209125
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for separating module bridges arranged in a module bridge strip and for positioning the separated module bridges on a support element, comprising a dividing device for dividing the module bridge strip in the edge regions thereof between in each case two module bridges, and a placement wheel for separately receiving the separated module bridges on its peripheral edge side, for transporting the same at interposer edges in a slip-free manner, and for depositing the module bridges onto the moving support element after a rotational movement of the placement wheel has been carried out about an axis oriented parallel to the module bridge plane, once an accelerated movement has been performed and synchronism has been achieved between the module bridges and the support element in order to prevent slip movements.
