Publication number: 20240044382Abstract: A method for manufacturing a braking band may include providing a braking band with a base band having an upper face and a lower face, where the base band being is made of titanium or titanium alloy. The method may also include directly depositing a material in particulate form consisting of ceramic and metal and/or intermetallic particles above at least the upper face and/or the lower face so to create an upper coating layer and/or lower coating layer. A braking band for a brake disc may have a base band entirely made of titanium alloy and having an upper face and a lower face, an upper coating layer, and a lower coating layer joined to the base band along the lower face. The upper coating layer and the lower coating layer consist of a mixture of ceramic and metal and/or intermetallic particles.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2021Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: Brembo S.p.A.Inventors: Andrea MILANESI, Andrea BONFANTI, Federico BERTASI, Alessandro MANCINI

Publication number: 20240044035Abstract: A method for producing a titanium nitride coating on the surface of a titanium or titanium alloy substrate may include: a) immersing the titanium or titanium alloy substrate as an electrode in a non-aqueous electrolyte comprising an ionic liquid having nitrogen ions in the presence of a counter electrode; and b) activating an electrochemical process of nitriding the substrate by applying an electric potential between the electrode, and the counter electrode, to generate an anodic electric current to decompose the nitrogen ions by releasing the nitrogen contained therein. The liberated nitrogen penetrates the titanium or titanium alloy substrate until it leads to the conversion to titanium nitride of a surface layer of the substrate, thereby generating a nitrided diffusion surface layer that forms a nitrided surface coating. The electric potential and/or the anodic electric current are modulated in time according to the desired thickness for the nitrided surface coating.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2021Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: Brembo S.p.A.Inventors: Federico BERTASI, Alessandro MANCINI, Marco BANDIERA, Andrea BONFANTI

Publication number: 20220373685Abstract: A reality capture device for generating a digital three-dimensional representation of an environment enables an object within an infrastructure to be surveyed or detected. The reality capture device is compact and easy to use, allowing for fast and reliable capture. The reality capture device can be carried and moved by a mobile carrier, particularly a person, robot or vehicle, and can be moved during a measuring process for generating a digital representation of an environment. The mobile reality capture device includes a localization unit for providing a simultaneous localization and mapping functionality, a laser scanner, and a camera unit. The mobile reality capture device is configured to be carried by a user through the room. The room is surveyed during the movement of the mobile reality capture device. The data from the laser scanner and the camera unit are referenced to each other by means of the localization unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2019Publication date: November 24, 2022Applicant: LEICA GEOSYSTEMS AGInventors: Jürgen DOLD, Burkhard BÖCKEM, Roman STEFFEN, Lukas HEINZLE, Ralph Patrick HARTI, Hendrik DESCHOUT, Roland GRAF, Mattheus Henricus Maria MICHELS, Michael DIETSCHI, Adam BAIJRIC, Andrea BONFANTI, Kristian Walker MORIN, Simon MARK, Klaus BEREUTER, Markus RIBI, Michele PORTENTOSO, Matthias WIESER
