  • Patent number: 11129639
    Abstract: A method integrates an electrical circuit into a device. The device has an integration surface consisting of a first material. The method includes processing the integration surface in order to form connection elements in order to increase an adhesion of a second material to the integration surface. The second material differs from the first material. The method also includes arranging the electrical circuit adjacent to the processed integration surface. The method furthermore includes applying a volume of the second material at least over the integration surface in order to enclose the electrical circuit in a fluid-tight manner.

  • Publication number: 20190041833
    Abstract: Production plant (1) for producing at least one end product (3) from at least one primary starting material (2), comprising at least one processing station (41-43) which processes at least one starting material (21-23) to form at least one product (31, 32, 33), and a process controller (51-53) which can control at least one variable (71-73), which is a measure of a quality feature of the product (31-33) and/or is correlated with a quality feature of the product (31-33), by influencing at least one manipulated variable (61-63) acting on the processing station (41-43), wherein the process controller (51-53) is additionally designed to control the production rate (31a-33a) of the processing station (41-43) for the product (31-33) and/or the consumption rate (21a-23a) of the processing station (41-43) with regard to starting material (21-23) by acting on the manipulated variable (61-63).

  • Patent number: 9618066
    Abstract: A method is used to treat a surface of a brake disc to increase the adhesive power of a coating to the surface. The method includes roughening the surface by introducing at least one depression in the surface. The width of the depression is widened with increasing depth of the depression. A positive connection is formed between the brake disc and the coating via an undercut.

  • Publication number: 20150196971
    Abstract: A turbine wheel includes, a hub body, a plurality of turbine blades integrally formed with the hub body, and a shroud. The shroud encompasses the hub body, is integrally formed with the turbine blades, and interconnects the respective radial outer edges of the turbine blades. A method of producing the turbine wheel in one piece via primary forming includes applying a layer of powdered material having a predetermined layer thickness to a construction platform, selectively melting the layer of powdered material with reference to a current layer form of the turbine wheel, moving the construction platform by a predetermined amount, and repeating applying, selective melting, and moving until a last layer of the turbine wheel is formed.
