Patent number: 11918979Abstract: The invention relates to a method for activating a photocatalytically active, for example titanium-dioxide-containing, outer layer (13; 23) deposited on a composite, by means of at least one element (14; 24) generating a radiation, for example for generating ultraviolet radiation. The following method steps are comprised here: •a) forming the at least one radiation-generating first element (14; 24) within the composite; •b) forming at least one sensor (16; 26) within the composite; •c) recording an actual value of a physical variable characterizing luminous radiation by means of the at least one sensor (16; 26), wherein the luminous radiation is emitted by a light-generating second element (15; 25); •d) comparing the recorded actual value with a first threshold value within an evaluation device and switching on the at least one radiation-generating first element (14; 24) if the actual value is below or above the first threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2019Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Gaby Gotzmann, Uwe Vogel, Daniel Glöss, Jessy Schönfelder, Philipp Wartenberg

Patent number: 9994950Abstract: A method for depositing a piezoelectric film may be provided containing AlN on a substrate by means of magnetron sputtering of at least two targets—of which at least one target contains aluminum—within a vacuum chamber, into which a mixture of gases containing at least reactive nitrogen gas and an inert gas is introduced, and during which magnetron sputtering the unipolar pulse mode and the bipolar pulse mode are alternately used. A film may be provided containing AlN of formula AlXNYOZ, where (0.1?X?1.2); (0.1?Y?1.2) and (0.001?Z?0.1).Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2014Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignees: FRAUNHOFER-GESELLSCHAFT ZUR FÖRDERUNG DER ANGEWANDTEN FORSCHUNG E.V., TU DRESDENInventors: Hagen Bartzsch, Daniel Glöß, Peter Frach, Stephan Barth

Patent number: 9416684Abstract: A structure and method are provided for preventing or at least minimizing thermally-induced structural distortions, such as may occur when a steam turbine is cooling down. The steam turbine may include an inner housing and an outer housing. An intermediate space is formed between the inner housing and the outer housing, and sealing steam may be injected into the intermediate space to avoid the formation of temperature strata in the interspace and thus prevent the outer housing from bowing.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2012Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Frank Deister, Ingo Forster, Daniel Gloss, Christian Musch, Heinrich Stuer, Frank Truckenmuller

Publication number: 20140030127Abstract: A valve, in particular an outlet valve of a hydraulic piston pump for delivering a fluid, includes a valve seat, a valve closing body, and a guide mechanism. A valve orifice is formed in the valve seat and has an inner wall. The valve closing body is arranged on the valve seat and is configured to selectively open and close the valve orifice. The guide mechanism is configured to guide the valve closing body relative to the valve seat and extends into the valve orifice. The guide mechanism has at least one fluid-conducting recess and at least one region configured to bear against the inner wall of the valve orifice to guide the valve closing body.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2011Publication date: January 30, 2014Applicant: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Reiner Fellmeth, Oliver Gaertner, Heiko Jahn, Marc Zimmermann, Harald Hermann, Rolf Stotz, Daniel Glosse
