  • Publication number: 20120012703
    Abstract: The description covers cabin components for aircraft, which can be produced with a sandwich structure and may have the components 1003 for signal and/or power transmission. The cabin components in this case have at least two prepreg layers 1001, 1005 and, for example, a honeycomb layer 1002, which can be connected to one another by pressing and heating. Furthermore, electrical and/or optical signal paths are shown on cabin components, which can be produced by positioning them there or printing. In addition, according to the description, signal and/or power transmission can take place beyond the boundary of cabin components, by means of a transmitter/receiver path.

  • Publication number: 20110310556
    Abstract: An internal device arrangement for a passenger cabin, for example of an aircraft, comprises an internal device element (15) which is selected from a group consisting of wall panelling, window panel, side panel, ceiling panelling and luggage compartment; an electrical apparatus (1) such as a lighting element, for example, which is fitted in or on the internal device element (15); and at least one line (2) for supplying power to the electrical apparatus (1). Furthermore, a heat dissipation device (6a . . . f) in the form of an integral component part of the internal device element (15), the electrical apparatus (1) and/or the at least one line (2) is provided. Such a heat dissipation device (6a . . . f) makes it possible to dispense with an additional heat sink for temperature management and thus for savings to be made in terms of installation space and weight.

  • Publication number: 20080238304
    Abstract: The temperature dependence of the most important characteristics of OLEDs (11) can be effectively counteractively controlled by the power supply (18) thereof if the actual instantaneous operating temperature is detected metrologically by at least one temperature sensor (19) incorporated into the hermetically encapsulated OLED (11). For this purpose, a line section (20) composed of a material having a high temperature coefficient of its electrical resistance is applied in electrically insulated fashion to one of the electrodes (areal transparent anode 13 or geometrically structured cathode 16), in a manner facing or averted from the polymer (14). If the temperature sensor (19) is arranged before the cathode on the emission side, that is to say even if it is arranged at the anode (13), its line section (20) preferably runs outside the projection of those geometrically structured regions of the cathode (16) which govern the cross-sectional geometries of the polymer excitation and thus of the emissions (15).

  • Patent number: 6883409
    Abstract: A device for cross cutting a cardboard web in which, both the blade drums, a sheet transport conveyor accelerates the sheets and then the sheets are positioned to shingle the sheets on a further conveyor. The sheet transport conveyor has a rerouting roller at the outlet side of its upper pass and then extends downwardly into a sheet discharge gate through which defective sheets are effected.

  • Patent number: 6626430
    Abstract: An apparatus for stacking sheets has a conveyor for delivering a succession of the sheets in a longitudinal transport direction on a conveyor plane to an upstream side of a stacking station with longitudinal edges of the sheets extending parallel to the direction. A vertically displaceable platform in the station below the plane receives the sheets in a stack. A row of upper feed belts extending in the direction immediately above the conveyor and the stacking station has lower reaches engageable down against the sheets on the conveyor at the upstream side of the station. A feed-belt adjuster moves the upper feed belts transversely of the direction and sets the upper feed belts in any of a plurality of different transversely offset positions.

  • Patent number: 6227537
    Abstract: An apparatus for stacking sheets has a frame defining a stacking station, a conveyor for delivering the sheets continuously one after the other at a predetermined upper level in a transport direction to the station, a platform vertically displaceable in the stacking station between the upper level and the lower level, and a drive for displacing the platform vertically. Stops are provided on the frame at an intermediate level below the upper level, above the lower level, and slightly above a stack of maximum height supported on the platform with the platform at the lower level. A walkway is vertically displaceable on the frame immediately downstream of the stacking station between an upper position generally at the upper level and a lower position at the intermediate level. The platform is engageable underneath the walkway for raising the walkway from the intermediate level to the upper level on movement of the platform upward past the intermediate level to the upper level.

  • Patent number: 6206366
    Abstract: An apparatus for stacking sheets has a frame defining a stacking station, a conveyor for delivering the sheets continuously one after the other at a predetermined upper level in a transport direction to the station, and a platform vertically displaceable in the stacking station between the upper level and the lower level. The antidrop protector includes a vertically extending rack fixed on the frame, a lever pivoted on the platform adjacent the rack and having a pair of arms one of which is connected to a lift cable, a stop on the other of the lever arms engageable in the rack, and a spring braced between the platform and the lever. The cable is connected to a drive that tensions the cable, displaces the platform vertically, and rotates the lever in one rotational sense. The spring urges the lever in the opposite sense so that when the cable is detensioned the spring urges the stop into the rack and vertically arrests the platform.

  • Patent number: 6196540
    Abstract: A sheet-stacking apparatus has a conveyor including a plurality of parallel upper belts extending in a transport direction for delivering a succession of sheets one at a time to a stacking station and a plurality of blow tubes each having a main portion extending in the direction. The main portions are interleaved with the upper belts and are each formed with a plurality of downwardly open holes. Respective tubular rivet bodies set in the holes have heads bearing upward against the respective tube main portions and form downwardly open nozzles. Interiors of the tubes can be pressurized with air to project jets of air downward from the nozzles of the tube main portions.
