Patent number: 11370061Abstract: An optical arrangement for direct laser interference structuring. A laser beam is directed to a reflecting mirror with inclined surface and strikes a first beam splitter, it is divided into two partial beams and one partial beam is deflected to a focusing element. The second partial laser beam is directed to a first pentamirror and after multiple reflection and/or refraction, the focusing element, or it is directed to a second beam splitter and is divided into a first partial beam and a third partial beam. The partial beams are directed to the focusing element by the first pentamirror and are directed by the focusing element to the surface to be structured interfering with each other. The reflecting mirror is moved in a translational manner, maintaining a 45° angle parallel to the optical axes of the emitted laser beam influencing the interference period ?.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2018Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: FRAUNHOFER-GESELLSCHAFT ZUR FOERDERUNG DER ANGEWANDTEN FORSHUNG E.V.Inventors: Mikhael El-Khoury, Andres Fabian Lasagni, Sabri Alamri, Tim Kunze, Bogdan Voisiat

Patent number: 9312397Abstract: A transistor structure includes a first terminal region, a second terminal region and a channel region therebetween in a semiconductor substrate. Additionally, the transistor structure includes a control electrode associated with the channel region, the control electrode having a control electrode portion which is elastically deflectable under the action of a force and spaced apart from the channel region. The distance between the control electrode portion and the channel region is changed based on the action of force.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der angewandten Forshung e.V.Inventors: Ignaz Eisele, Martin Heigl, Karl Haberger

Patent number: 8283132Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treating a biological cell (1) including a cytoskeleton (3) enveloped by a cell membrane (2). The method includes the following steps: the biological cell (1) and a tool (10) are mutually oriented such that the tool (10) comes into contact with the biological cell (1); the tool (10) and the biological cell (1) are displaced in relation to each other; and a gap is formed in the molecular composite of the cell membrane (2) of the biological cell (1). During the displacement of the tool (10), the cytoskeleton (3) of the biological cell (1) has a state of equilibrium. The invention also relates to a cell manipulator for carrying out the inventive method.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2005Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der Angewandten Forshung e.V.Inventors: Günter Fuhr, Hagen Thielecke

Patent number: 8054981Abstract: Parameters being a measure for a characteristic of a channel or of a pair of channels, wherein the parameter is a measure for a characteristic of the channel or of the pair of channels with respect to another channel of a multi-channel signal can be quantized more efficiently using a quantization rule that is generated based on a relation of an energy measure of the channel or the pair of channels and an energy measure of the multi-channel signal. With generation of the quantization rule taking into account a psycho acoustic approach, the size of an encoded representation of the multi-channel signal can be decreased by coarser quantization without significantly disturbing the perceptual quality of the multi-channel signal when reconstructed from the encoded representation.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2006Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignees: Coding Technologies AB, Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V., Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der Angewandten Forshung E.V.Inventors: Jonas Röden, Jonas Engdegard, Heiko Purnhagen, Jeroen Breebaart, Erik Schuijers, Steven van de Par, Johannes Hilpert, Jürgen Herre

Patent number: 6999738Abstract: A device for pretreating a signal to be transmitted over a transmission path, wherein the transmission path comprises a band-pass filter whose pass-band width is smaller than a predetermined bandwidth and a non-linear amplifier, includes a linearization means for performing a linearization of the signal to be transmitted before the transmission of the same, such that a non-linearity caused by the non-linear amplifier is counteracted. Further, the device includes a signal-shaping means downstream to the linearization means comprising a frequency response such that the overall frequency response of the signal-shaping means and the band-pass filter corresponds to the frequency response of a filter whose pass-band width is at least equal to the predetermined bandwidth.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2001Date of Patent: February 14, 2006Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forshung e.V.Inventors: Heinz Gerhaeuser, Rainer Perthold
