Patent number: 7564327Abstract: Filter and manifold compensation assemblies for thermal compensation of a filter cavity and a manifold which include at least one a lever element pivotally coupled to the filter or manifold at a first pivot point, an anchoring element pivotally coupled to the lever element at the second pivot point and secured to the housing of the filter or manifold, and a thermal expansion element having a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than the filter cavity or manifold and pivotally coupled to the lever element. The relative thermal expansion of the thermal expansion element in comparison with the thermal expansion of the filter or manifold causes the lever element to articulate and to displace the housing for thermal compensation. The degree of each displacement is proportional to the ratio between the distance between the second and first pivot points and the distance between the second and the third pivot points.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2006Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: COM DEV International Ltd.Inventors: Klaus Gunter Engel, Mihai Vladimirescu

Patent number: 7135947Abstract: A hybrid switch actuator having six positions that are stable in the absence of current and in which displacement occurs between an initial position and a target position under the action of a current. The actuator includes a stator and a rotationally moveable rotor package. The stator has six pole shoes. Each pair of opposed pole shoes is equipped with a common exciting coil. The rotor package has two pairs of rotor poles magnetized transversely in alternate directions and a permanent magnet ring and two end caps adapted to be engaged around said permanent magnet ring. Each end cap is associated with two rotor poles having maximum radius regions that correspond to the area of each of the stator pole shoes and reduced radius regions positioned adjacent the maximum radius regions such that each rotor pole can be precisely aligned with each stator pole shoe.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2004Date of Patent: November 14, 2006Assignee: Com Dev Ltd.Inventor: Klaus Gunter Engel

Patent number: 7123467Abstract: An electrical component includes a ceramic base body having at least four contact surfaces. Two of the contact surfaces are on opposite sides of the ceramic base body. First protective layers are arranged on regions of the opposite sides of the ceramic base body that do not include the contact surfaces. The first protective layers have a composition that allows the first protective layers to be sintered at a higher temperature than the contact surfaces. Second protective layers are arranged on at least two opposite surfaces of the ceramic base body. The ceramic base body, the first protective layers, and the second protective layers are sintered together.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2002Date of Patent: October 17, 2006Assignee: Epcos AGInventors: Günther Greier, Günter Engel, Renate Kofler, Axel Pecina, Robert Krumphals

Patent number: 5433834Abstract: An apparatus for electrolytically coating small parts, e.g. by electrophoretic deposition from a liquid coating agent, has a screw-type conveyor which can have a tube open at opposite ends to form an inlet and outlet for the parts which are advanced through the tube by screw conveyor means like a helical ribbon. The inlet side of the tube is immersed in a basin of the liquid coating agent whose side walls and front wall form weirs determining the level of the liquid coating agent in the tube while the liquid passes from the tube into a catch basin beyond the rear wall through perforations in the tube. The contacts traversing the tube wall are electrically-conductively coupled to the parts and are tied to one terminal of the DC power source whose other terminal is connected to a plate immersed in the dipping basin.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 1994Date of Patent: July 18, 1995Assignee: Ewald Dorken AGInventors: Hans Belz, Burkard Flamme, Werner Schauf, Hans Gunter Engels

Patent number: 5098673Abstract: In order to prevent crystal seeds with retrograde solubility from dissolving in the hydrothermal growing solution at the beginning of the growing process, and to protect the finished crystal at the end of the growing process, and in order to reach the thermodynamic growth equilibrium as soon as possible, the proposal is put forward that the growing solution be prepared, pre-saturated and pre-heated to a temperature close to saturation temperature outside of the growing tank, and that, for the growing process proper, the hot growing solution be added to the pre-heated growing tank provided with crystal seeds, where it should be further heated to a temperature at which the crystals start growing, and, further, that the hot growing solution be quickly removed from the growing tank as soon as the growing process has been completed.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 1990Date of Patent: March 24, 1992Assignee: AVL Gesellschaft fur Verbrennungskraftmaschinen und Messtechnik m.b.H.
