  • Publication number: 20240092964
    Abstract: A method to reinforce a built structure, wherein an impregnation resin including a resin component including at least one epoxy resin and hardener component including at least one amine of the formula (I) is used to impregnate woven or stitched fabric, which is wrapped around and/or adhered onto built structure. The inventive method preferably serves to improve earthquake safety of buildings, as replacement for missing reinforcement inside concrete, for improvement of strength and ductility or for increase of payload of a built structure. It enables the application of an emission-free impregnation resin with low odour, which has a long open time and good penetration into the fabric, shows fast and reliable curing without tendency to blushing, and forms a dry, non-sticky surface. The cured impregnation resin has a high strength, a high glass transition temperature and good adhesion properties, enabling a good durability and long-term stability of the reinforced structure.

  • Publication number: 20020071907
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the manufacture of a composite of continuous fibers (11) and plastic. The fibers are present as a unidirectional fiber arrangement (1) or in the form of strand-like, multi-fibrous threads (1), with these threads forming a textile thread arrangement (10), in particular a fabric or braided fabric. The fibers are embedded into a plastic matrix, wherein a polymer or different polymers are provided for the manufacture of the matrix. The fiber arrangement or thread arrangement (1, 10) is draw off from a supply point, in particular a supply reel (100), and impregnated with particles of plastic, with subsequently at least a part of the particles being converted by melting into the matrix. A mean diameter of the particles is not substantially larger than the diameter of the fibers (11). The fiber arrangement or thread arrangement (1, 10) is transported without deflecting elements and guided in one plane.

  • Patent number: 6109750
    Abstract: For three-dimensional image representation on a large-screen projection surface by means of a multimode or, respectively, monomode laser projector, in the first case it is proposed to direct the multimode laser beam onto a polygonal mirror with layers that alternatively polarize light in two different directions, from which lines of the one direction of polarization and lines of the other direction of polarization and lines of the other direction of polarization are then plotted on the large-screen projection surface in alternating fashion. In the second case, the monomade laser beam is directed by a partially transparent mirror and only then onto the polygonal mirror. A partial beam derived from the partially transparent mirror is rotated in its direction of polarization and directed onto the polygonal mirror from another direction.
