Patent number: 11161165Abstract: One aspect relates to a method of producing a sleeve for a ring electrode for electrophysiological and neuro-medical applications from a biocompatible metallic tape. Repetitive structures are punched into the tape and each includes at least one surface that is connected by at least one fin to at least one external strip. The at least one external strip connects the repetitive structures to each other on the margin. A sleeve mold is formed from a multiple of the repetitive structures through multiple reforming steps by a reforming technique. The sleeve mold is punched off the such that the sleeve is formed with a first tube-shaped region with a larger diameter and a second tube-shaped region with a smaller diameter. The first region with the larger diameter has a larger external diameter and internal diameter than the second region with the smaller diameter, and the two regions are connected.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2016Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: Heraeus Deutschland GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 9670946Abstract: A screwed assembly consists of at least one pre-punched, upper and an unpunched, lower component, an intermediate layer arranged in between, and a plurality of self-drilling fastening screws which are introduced via a pre-punch hole in the upper component and screwed to the unpunched component with the interposition of the intermediate layer. In order to effectively prevent in a simple manner any still uncured intermediate layer material from flowing out of the upper component surface when the fastening screws are screwed in, the pre-punches in the upper component are designed as blind holes which are closed by a thin-walled web.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2015Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Robert Duenisch, Benjamin Koch, Norbert Wendland, Peter Hirsch, Helmut Gottmann, Dieter Rapp, Thomas Klawunn
