  • Patent number: 11237264
    Abstract: A method for locating an RFID transponder is proposed. The method comprises generating a plurality of measurement signals based on a magnetic field measured by a plurality of sensors. The method further comprises determining a respective degree of correlation for each of the plurality of measurement signals with a reference signal. The reference signal is based on a data sequence assigned to the RFID transponder. In addition, the method comprises determining a position of the RFID transponder based on the degrees of correlation of the plurality of measurement signals.

  • Patent number: 8182677
    Abstract: Known tank flanges have a main filter which has a filter housing with an inlet and an outlet, and a first connecting duct for connecting the main filter to a feed unit. The filter housing is integrated in the tank flange, and filter fabric is inserted into the filter housing and the filter housing is closed off by a filter cover. The inlet of the filter housing is connected to the pressure side of a feed unit and the outlet leads to an internal combustion engine. A disadvantage is that, in order to exchange the filter fabric, the large-area filter cover must be opened, as a result of which a large amount of fuel vapor is dissipated to the atmosphere. In the case of the tank flange according to the invention, the exchangeability of the main filter is simplified by virtue of the main filter being embodied as a filter cartridge. It is provided according to the invention that the inlet of the main filter extends into the first connecting duct of the tank flange and therein forms a sealed connection.

  • Publication number: 20050249565
    Abstract: A method of clamping a rotationally symmetrical body (10) for the purpose of machining, in which method the body (10), with its first side (12), is pulled by means of a tensile force (F1), which acts in extension of the rotation axis (19, 19?) of the body (10) on the first side (12) of the body (10), against a supporting element (72) having a centering effect. A device for clamping a rotationally symmetrical body (10) for the purpose of machining, which device comprises a supporting element (72), against which the body (10) can be pulled, and a tie rod (64) which can act on and pull the body (10), to be clamped, axially and concentrically to the rotation axis (19, 19?) of the latter. The mounting of the tie rod (64) is designed in such a way that the tie rod (64) is axially guided with radial clearance (66) for the axial pulling movement. The tensile force (F1) of the tie rod (64) is preferably adjustable.

  • Patent number: 5631471
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device to irradiate surfaces with electrons, especially to harden surface layers. The device includes a vacuum chamber that has an electron beam window; an electron beam-permeable film that closes off the vacuum chamber from the ambient medium; and an electron beam generating system, consisting of a cathode and a forming electrode which are connected to a high-voltage and beam current feed line. In order to achieve an increase of the electron beam power and to reduce the energy losses during the transfer out of the electron beam window in such a device, according to the invention, the forming electrode is designed as a tubular hollow body with inner hollow space lengthwise dividers and with a lengthwise slit that is open towards the electron beam window. A wire-shaped cathode is arranged in each hollow space segment divided off by the hollow space lengthwise divider.

  • Patent number: 5140003
    Abstract: At least one layer from an oxide-ceramic superconductor material with a high transition temperature is produced on a substrate using a CVD-process. As parent materials, at least one vaporizable composition of each of the metallic components of the superconductor material is provided respectively, and these parent compositions are vaporized respectively at a predetermined temperature and with a predetermined partial pressure. In addition, at least one gaseous coreactant is provided, which is reactive with the parent compositions, the parent compositions as well as a minimum of one coreactant are dosed respectively by means of a carrier gas stream and united in a gas mixture with a predetermined mixture ratio, and to form the superconductor material, the conditions of reaction are adjusted using the energy supply for a reaction of or with the parent compositions and a minimum of one coreactant. A gaseous coreactant containing at least ammonia or organic amines is fed to the gas mixture.

  • Patent number: 4663384
    Abstract: Paints and renders contain, as binders, aqueous dispersions of copolymers which have a minimum film-forming temperature of from -15.degree. to 20.degree. C. and consist of(a) from 10 to 50% by weight of vinylidene chloride, up to half of which may be replaced with vinyl chloride,(b) from 44 to 88% by weight of esters of acrylic and/or methacrylic acid with alkanols of 1 to 18 carbon atoms and, if required, styrene, vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate or a mixture of these monomers and(c) from 2 to 6% by weight of .alpha.,.beta.-monoolefinically unsaturated mono- and/or dicarboxylic acids of 3 to 5 carbon atoms and/or their amides.

  • Patent number: 4452949
    Abstract: By emulsion polymerization of vinyl acetate, methylacrylate, acrylic acid, monoolefinically unsaturated sulfoalkyl esters or amides and vinyl sulfonate and partial saponification of the resultant copolymer emulsion, an aqueous solution of a copolymer is obtained which greatly delays the polymerization of styrene in aqueous media.
