Patent number: 11389882Abstract: A milling device for milling an antenna structure out of the metal layer of a flexible product, while the product is being passed through a milling gap between a milling cutter and a die, using a light emitter to output a light strip that crosses through the milling gap in or transversely to a running direction of the product, wherein the light strip is dimensioned, and the milling cutter and the die are intended to be arranged, such that the milling cutter and the die shadow the light strip at the two longitudinal edges thereof, before a light receiver receives the light strip, and using the light receiver to output a signal that reproduces the width of the milling gap to a controller, and outputting an adjusting signal at least to an adjusting drive that influences the width of the milling gap between the milling cutter and the die.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2017Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: MUEHLBAUER GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Alexander Picl, Uwe Franz Augst, Franz Stengl, Sigmund Niklas

Patent number: 10272354Abstract: A process-technology column including a novel liquid distributor which is to be as insensitive as possible to dirt or solids carried in the liquid and which can be operated over a load range as great as possible without the possibility of the delivered liquid being excessively easily entrained by the gas flow which rises in the column is provided. The liquid distributor includes a liquid feed for conducting a liquid and at least 2 nozzles connected thereto for producing a respective liquid jet. The nozzles are flat-jet nozzles for producing a respective flat jet. The flat-jet nozzles are so oriented that the flat jet produced by them impinges on a drain element which is arranged at the liquid distributor and at which the liquid of the flat jet can drain away.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2015Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: RVT Process Equipment GmbHInventors: Uwe Franz, Werner Geipel

Patent number: 9242188Abstract: A low-load distributor is disclosed for mass transfer columns for applying liquid onto the surface of packing stages of the mass transfer columns with at least one liquid supply, a plurality of liquid dispensing points and dwell time delay devices disposed between the liquid supply and the liquid dispensing points. An exemplery low-load distributor can be easily manufactured for a very low liquid flow rate and is characterized by high operation reliability. A dwell time delay devices can include absorbent open-pored storage material and the flow resistance of the storage material can increase in the liquid flow direction, starting from the liquid supply in the direction towards the liquid dispensing points.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2013Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: RVT PROCESS EQUIPMENT GMBHInventors: Uwe Franz, Werner Geipel
