Patent number: 6613438Abstract: The invention relates to a one-component epoxy resin adhesive which is elasticated with silicone rubber and whose open joint time is adaptable to whichever production process it is being used in by the concentration of UV initiator and/or the duration and/or intensity of UV activation and which is therefore particularly suitable for automatable manufacturing processes, since the workpieces after initial fixing require no additional mounts even during thermal aftercuring. This adhesive is preferentially suitable for the extensive adhesive bonding of permanent magnets, such as in the assembly of a permasyn motor, for example.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2001Date of Patent: September 2, 2003Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Peter Hein, Winfried Plundrich, Ralf Wilcke, Ernst Wipfelder

Patent number: 5837771Abstract: For improved flame retardant finishing and better processability of an epoxy anhydride reaction resin system, the present invention provides a reaction resin system supplemented with phosphinic and/or phosphonic acid anhydride as the hardener component. The phosphorus-containing anhydrides do not deteriorate the hardening characteristics. Molded members manufactured therefrom exhibit adequate flame retardant behavior even with slight proportions of phosphinic or phosphonic acid anhydride given a property profile that is otherwise unmodified.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 1996Date of Patent: November 17, 1998Assignee: Lemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Ernst Wipfelder, Winfried Plundrich
-
Patent number: 5811486Abstract: For better flame-retardant finishing and better workability of an epoxy-anhydride reaction resin system, it is proposed to supplement the reaction resin system with phosphonic semi-ester as additional reactive constituents. These are produced by conversion of phosphonic acid anhydride with single-valent or multi-valent alcohols. As a result of the selection of the alcohol constituent, property features of the molding material modified therewith that are already advantageous can be designationally set without thereby negatively influencing the hardening characteristic. Even with slight parts of phosphonic acid semi-ester, shaped members manufactured therefrom exhibit an adequate flame-retardant behavior given an otherwise unmodified property profile.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 1997Date of Patent: September 22, 1998Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Ernst Wipfelder, Windfried Plundrich

Patent number: 5618872Abstract: The invention relates to the use of momodisperse, non-porous, spherical particles based on SiO.sub.2, TiO.sub.2, ZrO.sub.2, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, V.sub.2 O.sub.5, Nb.sub.2 O.sub.5 or mixed systems thereof, which are optionally modified on the surface by covalently bonded organic groups, as fillers in organic matrix materials, the refractive index of the particles being adapted to the refractive index of the organic matrix according to the use.Polymeric or polymerizable systems which comprise these particles can be used, for example, as embedding compositions for optical, electro-optical and optoelectronic components. Such embedding compositions show an improved optical homogeneity. Light-emitting diodes produced with them are distinguished, inter alia, by an improved light yield.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1994Date of Patent: April 8, 1997Assignees: Merck Patent Gesellschaft mit beschrankter Haftung, Siemens AGInventors: Ludwig Pohl, Kurt Marquard, G unter Waitl, Ulrike Reeh, Ernst Wipfelder

Patent number: 5576357Abstract: A one-component reactive resin system which is stable in storage but nevertheless can readily be cured completely comprises a mixture of commercially available epoxy resins and phosphorus-containing glycidyl esters, in particular phosphonic acid diglycidyl esters, as well as cationic photoinitiators. The low-viscosity reactive resin systems cannot be cured purely by means of heat and can be processed at high temperatures and in particular can have a high filler content. The reactive resin systems, which are stable to storage even after UV activation, can be cured to flame-resistant molded materials under moderate conditions.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 1995Date of Patent: November 19, 1996Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Heiner Bayer, Winfried Plundrich, Ernst Wipfelder

Patent number: 5492981Abstract: A casting resin system containing epoxyalkylsiloxane is provided for covering optoelectronic components. The casting resin system includes a resin constituent containing a mixture of epoxyalkylsiloxanes and cycloaliphatic epoxy resins. The casting resin system can be hardened with a polycarboxylic acid anhydride as a hardener component to form molding materials that are transparent and color-stable.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 1994Date of Patent: February 20, 1996Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Klaus Hoehn, Ulrike Reeh, Ernst Wipfelder, Guenther Waitl

Patent number: 5262456Abstract: A halogen free casting resin suitable for covering electron devices with a fire retardant material contains an acidic ester of an hydroxy-functional phosphor compound and an organic anhydride. A stable mixture can be generated from the acidic ester and the hardener component of the casting resin, and further used for the hardening of epoxides resins. The acidic ester is chemically integrated in the epoxide resin matrix in a stable mixture, thereby improving the long term fire-retardancy of the casting resin molding compound without increasing the volatility of the mixture.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 1992Date of Patent: November 16, 1993Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Ernst Wipfelder, Winfried Plundrich

Patent number: 5006055Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing an otoplastic. An otoplastic is manufactured directly in the ear of a hearing-impaired person in that a deformable envelope is pulled over a die or over a shell or over an overlayed over-shell. This apparatus is then supplied with flowing otoplastic material between the die and the envelope, being supplied therewith in the ear. The envelope expands and assumes the shape of the auditory canal. After hardening or curing of the otoplastic material in the ear of the hearing-impaired person, the envelope and the die are removed and a module of either an in-the-ear or of a behind-the-ear hearing aid is integrated therewith.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 1989Date of Patent: April 9, 1991Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Helmut Lebisch, Rainer Basel, Georg Fuchs, Hermann Dietmar, Ernst Wipfelder, Wilhelm Hekele
