  • Patent number: 8773072
    Abstract: A reversible storage system for electric energy, including charging or discharging surfaces as a positive collector terminal and a charging or discharging area as a negative collector terminal and a flow electrode with a pumpable dispersion with particles storing electric energy and at least one supply line and at least one drain line for the pumpable dispersion. The pumpable dispersion includes particles storing electric energy in a capacitive and/or chemical fashion, having an average grain size distribution: 1 nM to 500 ?m. For chemically storing particles, the negative and the positive collector terminals have a planar shape with a single exterior closed border and with their planar sides each contacting an ion-selective diaphragm or spacers, and the pumpable dispersion is arranged on a side facing away from the planar side of the respective collector, contacting the ion-selective diaphragm or spacers, and the dispersion at least partially penetrates the respective collector.

  • Patent number: 7588069
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the manufacture of light open porous components of metal, metal alloys, plastic or ceramic of any geometry. Here, the component is produced through casting liquid material into a casting device (01), wherein a core stack (04) is mounted, cast and removed in a casting mold (03). The core stack (04) here is designed as a regular multi-dimensional core lattice (09) with defined core lattice planes (12), where each core lattice plane (12) is constructed of individual regular core bodies (10).

  • Publication number: 20070187858
    Abstract: A method is described, according to which open-pored components may be produced having a defined pore size, a defined external skin thickness, and a low density. A fine carrier material, is shaped with the aid of a binder into balls (1) which are as uniform as possible according to a shaping method, the prefinished balls (1) are wetted or coated using the same or also a different binding medium and poured in this way into the desired external mold and caused to stick and/or form binder bridges (2) at the contact points by a curing method. The balls (1) connected to one another are removed from their mold and placed into the desired mold, after which the cavities (3) between the balls (1) are filled with metal, plastic, or ceramic. After solidification, all of the ball material may be removed and/or washed out by vibration and/or by washing using water.

  • Publication number: 20040192806
    Abstract: The invention relates to the production of molds or cores (2) for foundry purposes, wherein a mixture (3) of foundry sand and binder are produced and introduced into a mold or core tool (8), e.g. shot in a core shooter. A known binder or magnesium sulfate with and/or without at least one or additionally several crystallization waters is dispersed or dissolved in water and used as binder, which is then mixed with the foundry sand and introduced or shot into the mold tool or the core box (8). For hardening purposes, the water and a fraction of the crystallization water are vaporized by heating and driven out by a gaseous medium, all of which can be carried out very rapidly. After pouring, said core or mold consisting of foundry sand can be very rapidly removed from the tool with water and flushed due to the fact that the magnesium sulfate preserves its capability of dissolving.
