  • Publication number: 20220037679
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a metal-supported fuel cell and/or electrolyzer unit, in particular a metal-supported solid oxide fuel cell unit, wherein the metal-supported fuel cell and/or electrolyzer unit comprises at least one electrode unit (14a; 4b; 14c; 14f) with at least two functional layers (16a, 18a;16b, 18b;16c, 8c; 16f, 18f), and the metal-supported fuel cell and/or electrolyzer unit comprises at least one metal support device for supporting the electrode unit (14a; 14b; 14c; 14f). According to the invention, the metal support device and the electrode unit (14a; 14b; 14c; 14f) which has the at least two functional layers (16a, 8a; 16c, 18c; 16f, 18f) are produced separately.

  • Patent number: 10281358
    Abstract: A semiconductor sensor includes a cavity; a fluid connection between the cavity and an inlet area; a pump diaphragm that bounds the cavity; and a measuring diaphragm that bounds the cavity. The fluid connection includes a diffusion channel having multiple openings in the inlet area or multiple diffusion channels having respectively an opening in the inlet area, and it is possible to close at least one of the openings using laser light in order to influence an effective length or an effective cross section of the fluid connection.
