Publication number: 20230228899Abstract: A system detects properties of a material layer or an embedded component of a structure or its sub-structure. The system includes a detection layer which has reflective regions reflecting electromagnetic radiation and which is designed to be embedded into a structure or its sub-structure, and a detection device which is designed to output electromagnetic radiation in the direction of the detection layer and to receive electromagnetic radiation reflected by the reflective regions of the detection layer, wherein fibers reflecting electromagnetic radiation are arranged in the reflection regions of the detection layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2021Publication date: July 20, 2023Applicant: HUESKER SYNTHETIC GMBHInventors: Hartmut HANGEN, Heiko PINTZ

Patent number: 7279436Abstract: A wide-meshed grid fabric, in particular a geogrid, in which warp thread bundles composed of multiple warp threads and weft thread bundles composed of multiple weft threads intersect and surround meshes or lattice openings. To give the grid fabric, which may also be a scrim, a greater volume, whereby, among other things, improved reinforcement of the soil may be achieved, individual threads of a thread bundle in a mesh are longer than other threads of the same thread bundle, the longer threads running in a wave pattern and forming at least one open loop or bulge per mesh; the open loop or bulge may protrude upward and/or downward from the plane of the grid fabric. A plastic coating may stiffen the grid fabric.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2003Date of Patent: October 9, 2007Assignee: Huesker Synthetic GmbHInventor: Heiko Pintz

Patent number: 6918412Abstract: Grid mat with warp thread strands running at regular intervals lengthwise or in the warp direction and weft thread strands running at regular intervals crosswise or in the weft direction connected to the warp thread strands at the points of intersection with the warp thread strands by raschel knitting, stitching, interweaving, adhesion or welding. The edge areas of grid mats placed next to each other are laid on top of one another and connected by threading elements such as rods or cord. The threading elements are inserted through the links of the mesh in the edge area.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2002Date of Patent: July 19, 2005Assignee: Huesker Synthetic GmbHInventors: Heiko Pintz, Jürgen Kassner

Patent number: 6818571Abstract: The invention relatrs to a wide-meshed fabric (1) treated with bonding agents. The inventive mesh is made up of bundles (4) consisting of several warop threads (3) and bundloes (6) consisting of several weft threads (5) surrounding the inner meshes (7). The warp threads (3) are interwoven with the weft threads (5) at intersection points (5) of the bundles (4) of warp threads and bundles (6) of weft threads (5) running at right-angles to each other. In order to firmly secure the warp threads and the weft threads, the bundles (4) of warp threads are divided into a first group (4′) of warp threads and a second group (4″) of warp threads and the first group of warp threads crosses over the second group of warp threads threads belonging to the same bundle (4) of warp threads for each mesh (7) thereby forming a half-twist. Similarly, the warp threads (3) of both groups (4′, 4″) of warp threads are interwoven with the weft threads (5), running substantially parallel to each other.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2002Date of Patent: November 16, 2004Assignee: Huesker Synthetic GmbHInventors: Heiko Pintz, Hermann Bült

Patent number: 6780798Abstract: The invention relates to a wide-meshed, textile lattice to provide reinforcement for bitumen-bonded layers, in particular of road surfacing, which is coated with a bonding compound having an affinity for bitumen and essentially consisting of two sets of parallel, load-bearing threads (1, 2), whereby one set of threads (1) extends in the longitudinal direction of the lattice and the other set of threads extends in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the lattice and the threads (1, 2) are of glass fibres or chemical fibres such as polymer fibres or polycondensate fibres. In order to develop a reinforcing lattice for bitumen-bonded layers which provides a better bond with a pre-prepared formation than the known lattices, the over-crossed threads (1, 2) are secured to a thin fleece (3) by Raschel-locking, whereby the binding Raschel-locking threads (5) surround the longitudinally extending threads (1) of the lattice and secure the threads (2) extending transversely.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2002Date of Patent: August 24, 2004Assignee: Huesker Synthetic GmbH & Co.Inventors: Jürgen Kassner, Heiko Pintz, Ulrich Von Fransecky
