Patents by Inventor Andreas Stani

Andreas Stani has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Electrical component and method for establishing contact with an electrical component
    Patent number: 9613773
    Abstract: An electrical component includes at least one external contact having a first metallization and a second metallization. The metallizations are fired and the second metallization only partly covers the first metallization. Furthermore, an electrical component includes at least one frame-shaped metallization. Furthermore, an electrical component includes a first and second metallization that have a different wettability with solder material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 9, 2013
    Date of Patent: April 4, 2017
    Assignee: EPCOS AG
    Inventors: Marion Ottlinger, Robert Krumphals, Andreas Stani
  • Piezoelectric multilayer component and method for forming an external electrode in a piezoelectric multilayer component
    Patent number: 9214621
    Abstract: A piezoelectric multilayer component is specified. At least one external electrode is fixed to a stack of piezoelectric layers and electrode layers arranged therebetween. At least one region of the external electrode projects beyond the stack and the external electrode is at least partly pressure-deformed in said region. Furthermore, a method for forming an external electrode in a piezoelectric multilayer component is specified.

  • Piezoelectric Multilayer Actuator
    Publication number: 20130181581
    Abstract: A piezoelectric multilayer actuator includes a stack of piezoelectric layers arranged one above another and first electrode layers and second electrode layers arranged alternately one above another between said piezoelectric layers. The electrode layers extend into the stack from a first and a second lateral face of the stack and overlapping in the stack. The first lateral face holds a first contact element in electrical contact with the first electrode layers and the second lateral face (5) holds a second contact element in electrical contact with the second electrode layers. The first and second contact elements each have a wire mesh, wherein at least one wire mesh has a twill-weave structure.
