Patent number: 10791630Abstract: A printed circuit board having conductor tracks formed on one side of a substrate. The substrate is able to be cohesively bonded at a contact face to a cover for protecting the conductor tracks. In this case, the substrate includes a step, which forms a barrier with respect to an auxiliary material for promoting the cohesive bond, in order to prevent any wetting of the conductor tracks with the auxiliary material. A sensor having a printed circuit board for use in a fuel filling level measurement system of a vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2017Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Vitesco Technologies GmbHInventors: Erich Mattmann, Robert Peter, Waldemar Brinkis, Martin Maasz, Burkhard Dasbach

Patent number: 7051716Abstract: In the case of a fuel tank (1) for a motor vehicle having a plurality of surge chambers (6, 6?) for collecting fuel, two surge chambers (6, 6?) are closed in a manner essentially forming a seal and are connected to each other. Fuel conducted by a pressure regulator (12) and by suction jet pumps (16, 16?) into the surge chambers (6, 6?) is distributed to the surge chambers (6, 6?) as required. When the surge chambers (6, 6?) are completely filled, a pressure is produced, as a result of which a further filling by the suction jet pumps (16, 16?) is avoided.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2004Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventor: Martin Maasz

Patent number: 6367503Abstract: A plastic tank comprises a line which is connected at least in certain sections to its wall and is formed in one piece with the plastic tank. For its production, the plastic tank is injection-moulded between a hollow mould and an inner mould inserted into the latter, the mould having a recess, in which a sprue body is formed as the starting material for the line. Before this sprue body can solidify completely, material is blown out from it by means of the internal gas pressure or pressure blowing technique via channels provided in the mould, so that the required line is created there. The lines may be arranged on the outside and/or inside and parallel and/or at an angle to the tank walls.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2000Date of Patent: April 9, 2002Assignee: Mannesmann VDO AGInventors: Dieter Keller, Martin Maasz, Karl Eck, Christian Kochsmeier

Process and apparatus for the agglomeration of hydrolytically sensitive substances by means of steam
Patent number: 5955036Abstract: In the process for the agglomeration of slightly soluble and hydrolytically sensitive substances, a powder of the slightly soluble substance is conducted, together with at least one water-soluble binder, in free fall through a steam atmosphere at temperatures between 85.degree. C. and 105.degree. C. essentially without the action of compacting forces. In this process, the residence time in the steam atmosphere is approximately 0.5 to 10 seconds. The agglomerates formed are then dried in free fall, so that small solid bridges form from the binder liquid bridges formed at the points of contact between the primary particles. In a following integrated fluidized-bed dryer, the final drying then takes place to a water content of less than 0.5% by weight. The process is carried out in a steam jet agglomerator in which a freely falling product curtain of the pulverulent mixture to be agglomerated is impinged by steam using steam jet nozzles (5, 6).Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 1999Date of Patent: September 21, 1999Assignee: Bayer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Ina Seyffert, Hans Uhlemann, Reinhardt Walter, Joachim Martin Maasz
