Publication number: 20120286915Abstract: An electric device including windings and magnetic cores, the device further including an encapsulating plastic encasement which includes an inner part and an outer part, the inner part being an inner insulating resin composition of thermosetting material encapsulating components of the device, and the outer part being a shell of a thermoplastic material which at least partly encloses the resin composition in contact therewith. Some components of the device are located in inner boxes encapsulated by the inner insulating resin composition. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing such a device. According to the method the shell is used as the mould form when moulding the insulating resin composition, and some components of the device are placed in boxes before inserting them into the shell.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2012Publication date: November 15, 2012Inventors: Alessandro Mattozzi, Dariusz Bednarowski, Hoan Le, Lukasz Malinowski, Roman Pernica

Publication number: 20120280416Abstract: A composite includes a first preform and a second preform spaced from and in overlying relationship to the first preform. The second preform defines at least one first opening extending therethrough along an axis transverse to the first preform. A first surface layer is disposed adjacent to the second preform and on an opposite side of the second preform from the first preform. A polymeric composition including the reaction product of an isocyanate component and an isocyanate-reactive component is disposed between the first preform and the second preform. The polymeric composition adheres the first surface layer to the second preform through the at least one first opening. The surface layer is adhered to the second preform during molding of the composite article and in the absence of additional adhesive, thereby reducing production time and cost of the composite article.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2012Publication date: November 8, 2012Inventors: James F.

Publication number: 20120251804Abstract: The transparent fire-resistant glazing has at least two glass or glass ceramic panes with a gap between them, which is filled with a UV-cured material. It is made by curing a UV-curable material filling the gap with UV radiation. The UV-curable material includes polymerizable components, namely a monomer with acrylate functionality and an oligomer, and at least one bromine-containing flame retardant. The fire retardant can be a polybrominated diphenyl ether, a brominated alcohol, or a polybrominated cycloalkane, and/or a mixtures thereof. The glazing is made by a process in which the panes are cleaned and masked to form the gap between them, the UV-curable material is filled into the gap and then cured with the UV radiation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2012Publication date: October 4, 2012Inventors: Jens Klossek, Ruediger Freitag, Klaus-Dieter Schwabe, Stefan Meinhardt
