Patent number: 11181420Abstract: Described are an apparatus and a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional body comprising mutually oriented devices. In accordance with the invention, a substrate having a first and a second substrate region is provided. A first device is provided in the first substrate region. A second device is provided in the first or in the second substrate region. The substrate is bent along at least one bending edge in order to obtain a three-dimensional body. In accordance with the invention, the first device and the second device are oriented to each other by the bending in order to provide a communications path between the same.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2019Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Heinrich Grueger, Jens Knobbe, Tino Puegner

Patent number: 10739198Abstract: A polychromator includes a substrate and a functional element having an optical spectral decomposition action. The functional element having an optical spectral decomposition action is configured to spectrally decompose electromagnetic radiation originating from an entry opening, e.g. light which originates from an optional radiation source and is reflected at a sample, so that a spectrally decomposed spectrum is obtained, and to image the spectrally decomposed spectrum onto a spatial area of the substrate. The substrate includes at least two transparent zones at different positions within the spatial area, so that two different spectral components of the spectrums are detectable at the two transparent zones.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2017Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Heinrich Grueger, Jens Knobbe, Tino Puegner

Patent number: 9417192Abstract: An optical device for detecting quality of welding gun electrodes An optical sensor device comprises a housing (10) with a pair of openings (11, 11a) communicating with a pair first (14) and a second (15) seat for accommodating a respective one of a pair of electrodes (E1, E2). A first set of lights (16, 17) emit a first (L1) and a second (L2) light beam in an intermediate geometric plane (p1) between the seats (14, 15). Two oblique reflecting elements (25, 26), interposed between the two seats (14, 15), to reflect the first (L1) and second (L2) light beams in two opposite directions perpendicular to the geometric plane (p1) toward the first and the second seats. Other lights (47, 32) emit third (L3) and fourth (L4) light beams on opposite sides of the geometric plane (p1) to illuminate the first and the second seat (14, 15).Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2013Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: Sinterleghe S.R.L.Inventors: Michael Leuckefeld, Jens Knobbe, Tino Pügner
