Patent number: 9752943Abstract: Embodiments relate to sensors and more particularly to structures for and methods of forming sensors that are easier to manufacture as integrated components and provide improved deflection of a sensor membrane, lamella or other movable element. In embodiments, a sensor comprises a support structure for a lamella, membrane or other movable element. The support structure comprises a plurality of support elements that hold or carry the movable element. The support elements can comprise individual cylindrical points or feet-like elements with straight or concave sidewalls, rather than a conventional interconnected frame, that enable improved motion of the movable element, easier removal of a sacrificial layer between the movable element and substrate during manufacture and a more favorable deflection ratio, among other benefits.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2014Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: Infineon Technologies Dresden GmbHInventors: Thoralf Kautzsch, Heiko Froehlich, Mirko Vogt, Maik Stegemann, Andre Röth, Bernhard Winkler, Boris Binder

Patent number: 9003964Abstract: An apparatus for forming bundles of printed products includes a lift element that moves vertically inside a holding area. The printed products are deposited on the lift element when the lift element is in an upper position. The lift moves the deposited printed products downward into the holding area so that the printed products are in position to subsequently be compressed into a bundle by pressing the printed products with an upward movement against a pressing element. The lift transports the compressed bundle to a lower position in the holding area where the lift element moves out of the holding area to a position in which the bundle is released to drop onto a support element. The lift element thereafter is moveable from the lower position to the upper position for the depositing of additional printed products. An ejection element conveys the compressed bundle out of the holding area.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2011Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Mueller Martini Holdings AGInventors: André Roth, Roman Wyss

Patent number: 8794134Abstract: An apparatus for a forming bundle composed of at least one layer of printed products includes a lift, wherein an area above the lift constitutes a holding space to accommodate the at least one layer. The lift is adapted to lower the at least one layer. A control unit is connected to control movement of the lift. A thickness determining device is coupled to the control unit and arranged to determine a thickness of the at least one layer. The lift is controlled to be lowered corresponding to a previously determined thickness of a layer to accommodate a following layer of a bundle or to accommodate a layer of a following bundle.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2011Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Mueller Martini Holding AGInventors: Markus Aebischer, Roman Wyss, André Roth

Patent number: 8413792Abstract: A method and device are provided to produce stacks composed of printed products. Printed products are supplied substantially vertically and in an overlapping flow with the aid of a first conveying device continuously to an essentially horizontally extending stack support. A stack is formed at the stack support, where the printed products are at least approximately lined up in an upright position. The stack on the stack support is transported with a second conveying device moving at a forward-feed speed and in a forward-feed direction. The stack is supported along a leading stack end against a support device that also moves in the forward-feed direction. A third conveyor acts upon a region of a lower edge of at least one printed product, which impacts the stack support, to move the at least one printed product in the forward-feed direction of the stack with a speed that corresponds at least to the forward-feed speed of the stack.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2010Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Mueller Martini Holding AGInventors: Markus Jegge, André Roth
