  • Publication number: 20170158002
    Abstract: The invention relates to a repair patch for an elastomeric component, in particular for a vehicle tire, to a use of the repair patch and to a method for repairing a vehicle tire. The repair patch has a cover layer 10, a connecting layer 30 for placement on a damaged spot 60 of the elastomeric component 40, and at least one intermediate layer 20, which is arranged between the cover layer and the connecting layer. The repair patch 1 has external dimensions such that a dimensional quotient which is at least formed by means of at least one size parameter of the damaged spot 60 is within a predetermined value range and the number of intermediate layers 20 depends on the at least one size parameter of the damaged spot 60.

  • Patent number: 9321223
    Abstract: A repair patch for an elastomer component, in particular for a vehicle tire, includes a cover layer, a connecting layer for contacting a wall of the elastomer component and at least one intermediate layer arranged between the connecting layer and the cover layer. The connecting layer has such a initial tack before vulcanization with the elastomer component that a connection between the repair patch and the elastomer component transmits at least the own weight of the repair patch and the connecting layer has a separation value of at least 5 N/mm after vulcanization with the elastomer component.

  • Patent number: 9157583
    Abstract: The invention provides a lighting device (100) comprising a light source (10) and luminescent materials (20). The luminescent materials (20) comprise a first organic luminescent material (120) and a second organic luminescent material (220), the light source (10) together with the luminescent materials (20) being configured to generate white lighting device light (101) during operation. The first organic luminescent material (120) degrades with time at a first degradation rate and the second organic luminescent material (220) degrades with time at a second degradation rate, wherein the first degradation rate is larger than the second degradation rate. The first organic luminescent material is configured in a first layer (130, 1020) and the second organic luminescent material is configured in a second layer (140, 1220).

  • Patent number: 8939607
    Abstract: This invention relates to an optical device (100) for intercanopy lighting comprising a light input area (109) for receiving light, a first surface (120) having a first bezier curve, and a second surface (110) having a second bezier curve. The first and second bezier curves are independently selected with respect to each other, and arranged such that the optical device is rotational asymmetric with respect to its center axis. Received light which is reflected in the first surface is reflected in a direction towards the center axis, and received light which is reflected in the second surface is reflected in a direction away from the center axis, thereby providing vertical and horizontal homogeneous illumination distribution in a predefined area, which area is illuminated under an angle.
