Publication number: 20230273140Abstract: A monitoring system monitors a presence or condition of a particular fluid in a device for storing or conducting the fluid using permittivity properties of the fluid. The system includes: the device for storing or conducting the fluid; a detector component being an integral part of the device and having a component body and a passive antenna deposited on a surface of the component body; and a reader device having a reader antenna. The reader device emits an electromagnetic output signal with a predefined output power and over a predefined frequency range via the reader antenna to the passive antenna and measures a reflected signal over the predefined frequency range, which is reflected from the passive antenna. The reader device also compares the reflected signal with at least one reference signal of at least one reference fluid to determine the presence or the condition of the particular fluid.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2021Publication date: August 31, 2023Applicant: Dätwyler Schweiz AGInventors: Sven GISLER, Norbert HABERLAND

Publication number: 20230263447Abstract: An electrode for measuring bioelectric signals of an individual includes a dome-like shape support body having a concave contact side facing the individual and an opposite convex connector side. The support body defines a central axis arranged centrally through the contact and connector sides. The electrode includes outer contact pins located on the contact side at a radially outer region of the support body for contacting an area of interest to be measured. The electrode is made of elastomeric material and has conductive properties. The support body is flexible such that after applying the electrode to the individual a force exerted centrally onto the connector side and parallel to the central axis leads to an upwards bending of the radially outer region. The upwards bending leads to tilting of the outer contact pins such that a tip of the outer contact pins moves radially outwards along the area of interest.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2021Publication date: August 24, 2023Applicant: Dätwyler Schweiz AGInventors: Ronny VRIJENS, Mattia Alberto LUCCHINI, Raphael KAELIN, Michael SEGESSENMANN

Patent number: 10900478Abstract: A pump diaphragm for a diaphragm pump for conveying a fluid includes a solid core with a connection device for a drive rod of the diaphragm pump, and a plate-shaped elastic diaphragm body made of rubber having a peripheral clamping edge. The solid core is embedded at least partially in the diaphragm body and the solid core is produced from a thermoplastic and forms covalent bonds with the elastic diaphragm body made of rubber without adhesive. For this purpose, the thermoplastic, for example polyamide 612 or polyphenylene ether, and the rubber, a periodically cross-linked rubber such as EPDM, are selected in such a way that they are covalently cross-linked with one another at the boundary layer. In this way, a bonding layer that is susceptible to weakening or destruction is not present between the core and the diaphragm body.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2017Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: DÄTWYLER SCHWEIZ AGInventors: Maria Del Mar Diez Diaz, Rudolf Randler, Raphael Kälin, Norbert Haberland

Patent number: 10830184Abstract: A control diaphragm for controlling fuel supply in a carburetor of an internal combustion engine includes a functional region enclosing a sensing region concentrically and a peripheral fastening border for fastening the control diaphragm in the diaphragm carburetor. The control diaphragm closes a control chamber of the diaphragm carburetor and is operatively connected via the central sensing region to a control lever in the control chamber and senses the axial deflection of the sensing region in a manner dependent on operation-induced pressure change in the control chamber. The control diaphragm consists in one piece of temperature-resistant and fuel-resistant, non-elastomeric plastic and the functional region is configured by way of a multiplicity of concentric corrugations. The outermost corrugation directly adjoins the fastening border, and the radius of the outermost corrugation corresponds substantially to the radius of the control chamber.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2017Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: Dätwyler Schweiz AGInventors: Norbert Haberland, Maria del Mar Diez Diaz, Bruno Gisler
