Abstract: A molecular assembly having a structural formation of amphiphilic molecules is disclosed where the amphiphilic molecules are selected from a group containing amphiphilic molecules which a) have a hydrophobic moiety and a hydrophilic moiety b) are soluble in a polar aprotic solvent and form self-organizing layer structures in the absence of the polar aprotic solvent, and c) orient molecularly in formed layer structures at an interfacial layer, or in an aqueous environment. The amphiphilic molecules in the formed layer structure are in contact with an aqueous environment. A method for coating a solid surface with a molecular assembly is also disclosed, wherein the amphiphilic molecules are dissolved in a polar aprotic solvent, and resulting solution is applied to a solid surface by spin coating.

Abstract: A method for contacting and packaging a semiconductor chip of a power electronic component. The power electronic component has a first contact face produced in a first step via a multi-material printing process and a semiconductor chip, which is placed in a second step onto the first contact face. A ceramic insulation layer, which surrounds the semiconductor chip along its circumference and extends over the first contact face not covered by the semiconductor chip, is printed in a third step onto the first contact face. A second contact face is printed in a fourth step onto the ceramic insulation layer and the semiconductor chip. In a fifth step, the power electronic component is sintered by means of heat treatment.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for producing a component by means of 3D multi-material pressure and to a component part produced therewith, wherein metallic and ceramic pastes, mixed with powder and binding agents, for producing the component are applied in layers by means of an extrusion process and are shaped, and the printing process is monitored by means of a monitoring device in such a way that defects in the pressure are detected by means of a camera and the defects are eliminated and/or overfilling or underfilling of each printed layer in relation to the extrusion quantity is monitored by means of a camera and/or temporary blockages in the extrusion nozzle are detected by monitoring the pressure in the region of the extrusion nozzle and released by increasing the pressure. The device comprises a corresponding monitoring device. The device can also have a mixing and feeding device with a vacuum mixing container which is connected to a vibration device.

Abstract: Certain example embodiments described herein relate to defining relevant data for analysis and reporting for modeled processes and process-related data. In certain example embodiments, a normal (and potentially-non-expert) user can define a model, object, or a relation as “source” and “target” of interest. The user also may be able to make a question more concrete, e.g., by specifying stopovers, a number of steps that might be between the source and the target, etc. A net of different paths from the source to the target may be retrieved as result, representing all possible relations, including those that are implicit. Such information also can be selectively excluded from the net, e.g., if the user does not want to evaluate same. However, the user can be reasonably sure that all relevant data for analysis has been returned, even though the definition was made without consulting an expert.
