Patent number: 7675032Abstract: Particles and monoliths are used for providing an ionized analyte for mass analysis by photon desorption having a size in the range of 0.5-100 ?m, wherein the particles or monoliths are modified with a chemical compound capable of absorbing photons having a wave-length of at least 300 nm. The particles and monoliths allow the use of MALDI-MS for the high throughput screening of molecules having a molecular weight lower than 700 ? without interfering signals or with only a limited number of background signals.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2006Date of Patent: March 9, 2010Assignee: Leopold-Franzens-Universitat InnsbruckInventors: Günther Bonn, M.

Patent number: 6365260Abstract: A heat dissipation arrangement for chip modules on multilayer ceramic substrates, in particular multichip modules, in which passages for a heat-conducting medium are provided in the ceramic substrate. The multilayer ceramic substrate is mounted on a metal heat sink. Thermal passages, in particular in the form of a hole pattern or array, are provided in the top layer of the multilayer ceramic substrate, in the region of the chip to be mounted. A cavity functioning as an evaporation chamber is provided in the layer of the multilayer ceramic substrate directly beneath the top layer, in the region of the chip to be mounted, and a trough-shaped recess functioning as a condenser is provided in the metal heat sink, in the region of the chip to be mounted.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 1999Date of Patent: April 2, 2002Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Günther Stecher, Annette Seibold

Patent number: 5458911Abstract: A method for producing a self-supporting thick-film structure on a substrate above a recess defined in the substrate, includes applying an active layer onto an auxiliary substrate; positioning the active layer in contact with the substrate and above the recess defined in the substrate; firing the substrate to bond the active layer thereto; and separating the active layer bonded to the substrate from the auxiliary substrate, wherein the active layer has a thermal expansion coefficient which is less than that of the substrate so that a self-supporting thick-film structure is formed above the recess.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 1993Date of Patent: October 17, 1995Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Herbert Zimmermann, Guenther Stecher

Patent number: 5211053Abstract: A gas sensor device has a carrier plate of ceramic or glass. The carrier has apertures which leave only strips in a spiral configuration connecting a middle region of the carrier to the outer region thereof. The apertures may be mere slits separating the connection strips or they may be apertures providing larger air gaps. On each middle region so provided on the carrier a sensor element is located that has two electrodes and a sensitive layer which establishes a conducting connection between the electrodes. The electrodes and the sensitive layer are directly applied to the upper surface of the middle region. The two electrodes are comb shaped and are placed in inter-digital configuration to define a meandering gap between them. On the underside of the middle region of the carrier a heating element for the sensor element is provided and, if desired, also a temperature measuring resistance for regulating the temperature produced by a heating resistor.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 1992Date of Patent: May 18, 1993Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Peter Nolting, Martin Holland, Botho Ziegenbein, Guenther Stecher, Detlef Baresel
