  • Patent number: 11735684
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a light-emitting device may include producing a support having at least one conductor track on a surface of the support. The method may further include producing a reflective coating directly on the at least one conductor track by means of a film transfer method such that the conductor track is substantially covered by the reflective coating and arranging a light-emitting component on or above the reflective coating. The light-emitting component may be electrically conductively connected to the conductor track(s).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8456280
    Abstract: The invention relates to a product carrier comprising a first packaging unit wherein when opened a first switch of an integrated circuit of the product carrier is opened and at least one second packaging unit wherein when opened a second switch of the integrated circuit is opened. The circuit is configured and/or arranged to cooperate with electronic means so that a value correlating with the degree of filling of the product carrier can be determined on the basis of the number of closed and/or opened switches. Further, an antenna cooperates with the electronic means to transmit said value, the electric power for the electronic means may be introduced without contact, and the first and the second switch are connected in parallel.

  • Patent number: 7952113
    Abstract: A flat lighting device (10, 10?) that has light-emitting lighting elements (1) arranged on a carrier, which are connected to current supply and current discharge lines (4?) to supply current. The carrier has the form of a metallic sheet (2), which is covered with an insulating layer (3), on which series connections of a lighting element (3) and a surface resistor (5) are arranged between the current supply and current discharge lines (4?). One lighting element (1) and one surface series resistor (5) of a series connection and the series connections and the current supply and current discharge lines (4?) are connected to one another by conductor paths. There is also a method for producing lighting devices of this type.

  • Publication number: 20100284187
    Abstract: Planar illumination device comprise light-emitting illumination elements arranged on a carrier, containing an electrically conductive layer and an insulating 5 layer (LEDs). The light-emitting illumination elements are connected to current feed lines in the form of a conductor path. The light-emitting illumination elements are arranged as a succession of identical units on a continuous conductor path, in each case on the electrically insulating layer of the carrier. The current discharge from the light-emitting illumination elements is represented by a conductor discharging the current and by means of a connection to the electrically conductive layer of the carrier. The planar illumination device has any number of units extending in the longitudinal and transverse direction. Cutting zones, along which any units or groups of units can be separated off or separated out, are arranged between the units.

  • Patent number: 6612461
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for storing and for reminding/recording the intake of drugs, arranged in a drug packaging, which is designed as individual packaging segments, which form individual pockets, holding individual drug dosages (tablets, pills, powder dosages, liquid dosages), and which are made of foil and lie in succession in the longitudinal direction. The drug packaging is guided in the device and can be transported by means of a feed in the device. The device 1 exhibits guide elements, which are arranged along the line of a peripheral guide track 6; and there are drive elements, by means of which the drug packaging 2 can be fed incrementally to a removal-ejecting mechanism 5, in which a drug dosage can be ejected through a removal window 7 at essentially right angles to the guide track 6 by means of an ejecting element.
