  • Publication number: 20200189144
    Abstract: Disclosed is a coater assembly 1 for a 3D printer, comprising a coater 3 having a container 5 which defines an inner cavity for receiving particulate construction material which opens into a container opening 7 for outputting the particulate construction material from the container 5, and an output region 9 which defines a coater output opening 11 for outputting the particulate construction material from the coater 3 onto a construction field. The container 5 is movable relative to the coater output opening 11 so that by moving the container 5 relative to the coater output opening a discharge of particulate construction material from the inner cavity through the container opening 7 and the coater output opening 11 onto the construction field is variable.

  • Patent number: 10683349
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to antibodies and proteins comprising an antigen-binding portion thereof that specifically bind to the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-17 A. The disclosure more specifically relates to specific antibodies and proteins that are IL-17 A antagonists (inhibit the activities of IL-17 A and IL-17 AF) and are capable of inhibiting IL-17 A induced cytokine production in in vitro assays, and having an inhibitory effect in an antigen-induced arthritis model in vivo. The disclosure further relates to compositions and methods of use for said antibodies and proteins to treat pathological disorders that can be treated by inhibiting IL-17A or IL 17AF mediated activity, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), lupus nephritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma or cystic fibrosis or other autoimmune and inflammatory disorders.

  • Patent number: 10661806
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a drive device (1) of a motor vehicle, having an internal combustion engine (2), an electric machine (3), and a dual-clutch transmission (4). The dual-clutch transmission (4) has two clutches (K1, K2), by means of which the transmission can be connected to the internal combustion engine (2). At least the internal combustion engine (2) is actuated in a driving operation in order to generate a target drive torque, and the clutches (K1, K2) are actuated in opposite directions for a gear shift. During a gear shift, the electric machine (3) which is connected to the dual-clutch transmission (4) without a clutch is actuated such that the electric machine completely or partly generates the target torque at least temporarily.

  • Patent number: 10612585
    Abstract: In a thrust washer for the axial securing of rolling elements of a bearing, and a gear mechanism including a thrust washer, the thrust washer is arranged as a circular disk, which has an axially protruding, in particular radially outer, projection. The circular disk has a recess, which is disposed out of center, i.e., the center point of the, e.g., circular recess thus particularly being set apart from the center axis and/or from the center point of the circular disk. The projection may have an annular shape, and the ring axis is set apart from the center point of the, e.g., circular recess.

  • Publication number: 20190355659
    Abstract: Fan Out Package-On-Package (PoP) assemblies in which a second chip is adhered to a non-active side of a first chip. An active side of the first chip embedded in a first package material may be electrically coupled through one or more redistribution layers that fan out to package interconnects on a first side of the POP. A second chip may be adhered, with a second package material, to the non-active side of the first chip. An active side of the second chip may be electrically coupled to the package interconnects through a via structure extending through the first package material. Second interconnects between the second chip, or a package thereof, may contact the via structure. Use of the second package material as an adhesive may improve positional stability of the second chip to facilitate wafer-level assembly techniques.
