  • Fixing Adhered Workpieces
    Publication number: 20100071835
    Abstract: A method for fixing adhesive-bonded includes directing an energy beam upon two or more workpieces and thereby causing localized evaporation of an adhesive disposed therebetween within an effective zone of action of the energy beam; and maintaining a vapor channel in a weld pool within the effective zone of action of the energy beam during the evaporation of the adhesive for releasing gas generated during the evaporation of the adhesive. The adhesive has an evaporation temperature that is less than a melting temperature of a material of the workpieces. The adhesive has a viscosity that substantially inhibits an ingress of the gas generated during the evaporation of the adhesive.

  • Cushion for a Vehicle Seat
    Publication number: 20090302646
    Abstract: A cushion for a vehicle seat has a cushion layer arrangement that is covered by a cushion cover. The cushion layer arrangement includes an air-conducting cushion layer into which air can enter via at least one air inlet and from which the air, after flowing through it, can exit via at least one air outlet which is assigned at least one air outlet opening. At least one air outlet opening is arranged within the cushion cover.

  • Laser welding device and method
    Patent number: 7319204
    Abstract: A laser welding device includes a laser that generates a laser beam, an optics, and a limiting apparatus. The optics has a focal length of at least 200 nm and being configured to focus the laser beam onto a processing zone of a workpiece. The limiting apparatus limits a mixture of welding gases and heated ambient air, produced during laser welding, within the laser beam to a region that is less than the focal length from a surface of the workpiece.
