Patent number: 8915489Abstract: A method is specified for the production of a flexible circuit configuration, which allows the manufacturing of such flexible circuits on a carrier film cost-effectively and with high precision. For this purpose, the carrier film is fastened at the beginning of the method on a rigid frame, which encloses an inner area, and spans the inner area using an inner surface. After finishing of a layer structure and optionally additional method steps, structures for flexible circuit configurations which are created over the inner surface may be cut out easily by cutting the flexible circuit configurations out of the inner surface as a cutout. Through the fastening of the carrier film on the frame, it is ensured during the various method steps of the production of the flexible circuit configuration that the carrier film, which is flexible per se, always forms a level foundation for the various method measures, in particular the photolithographic structuring of layers of a layer structure.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2013Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: Cicor Management AGInventors: Ernst Feurer, Bruno Holli, Alexander Kaiser, Karin Ruess

Patent number: 8763366Abstract: In a method for operating an air-compressing fuel-injection internal combustion engine having an exhaust gas post-treatment system with a particle filter and a nitrogen oxide reduction catalytic converter, a plurality of internal combustion engine operating settings are provided, each having respective predefined values for predefined internal combustion engine operating parameters. A heating operating setting is set when the internal combustion engine is warming up, while a basic operating setting is set in the warmed-up state. When the temperature in the exhaust gas system exceeds a predefinable first value, the heating operating setting is changed over to the basic operating setting. In the warmed-up state, at least one further (third) operating setting, with an exhaust gas recirculation rate that is reduced compared to the basic operating setting, is provided in addition to the basic operating setting.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Daimler AGInventors: Bernd Christner, Alexander Kaiser, Berthold Keppeler, Holger Kissling, Markus Paule

Patent number: 8623450Abstract: For a method for producing a flexible circuit configuration in the form of a layer sequence of at least one insulating layer and at least one conductive layer, typically multiple insulating layers (N1, N2, N3, NF) and multiple structured conductive layers (L1, L2), the layer sequence for the flexible circuit configuration is deposited on a rigid substrate so that the adhesion of the layer sequence with respect to the substrate is less in an inner area, in which at least one, preferably multiple flexible circuit configurations are created, than in an edge area (RB) which surrounds the inner area (ZB). An intermediate layer can advantageously be deposited for this purpose in the edge area, which causes a stronger adhesion of the layer sequence over the edge area than the inner area, which is not provided with an intermediate layer.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2010Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Cicor Management AGInventors: Ernst Feurer, Bruno Holl, Alexander Kaiser, Karin Ruess
