Patent number: 10288208Abstract: A corrosion protected metal pipe for installation in an offshore structure or for producing a pipeline laid in water is provided. The metal pipe has an at least two-layer covering on the pipe with a lower layer facing the pipe and an upper layer on a side of the lower layer not facing the pipe is provided. The layers are formed such that the lower layer is electrically conductive and the upper layer is electrically insulating, the lower layer is optically contrasting to the upper layer, or the lower layer is electrically conducting and optically contrasting to the upper layer and the upper layer is electrically insulating. Thus, in the event of damage to the layer or layers lying above, a visual or electrical signal can be detected. Damage to the corrosion protection covering can therefore be detected easily and, if appropriate, reported by remote monitoring.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2016Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: Evonik Degussa GmbHInventors: Jan Berger, Harald Haeger, Markus Hartmann, Jasmin Berger

Patent number: 10117621Abstract: An implantable device includes a body part and a piezoelectric part. The body part is configured to grasp a pulsatile organic or inorganic tissue. The piezoelectric part is mechanically coupled to the body part and is configured to convert a varying shear force transferred from the body part to the piezoelectric part into voltage. An implantable system, comprises the implantable device and a stent like object configured to be inserted and deployed within a pulsatile or static tissue. The implantable device is configured to form a sealed junction with the pulsatile tissue while pressing against an outer circumference area of the stent.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2016Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: Infineon Technologies AGInventors: Jan Berger, Bernhard Wedl, Dirk Hammerschmidt, Walther Pachler, Horst Theuss, Harald Witschnig

Patent number: 10113671Abstract: A process for the production of a pipe comprising: an interior surface having a shape; and a thermoplastic inliner is provided. The process comprises: introducing the thermoplastic inliner into the interior of the pipe; heating the pipe from the outside to a temperature higher than a crystallite melting point (Tm) of a molding composition of an exterior surface of the inliner; expanding the inliner radially in the pipe so that an exterior surface of the inliner assumes the shape of the interior surface of the pipe; and cooling the inliner; wherein a cross section of the inliner is optionally reduced through exposure to an exterior force prior to being introduced into the pipe. Relative movements between carrier pipe and inliner are thus prevented; the risk of collapse of the inliner is moreover low. The pipe is used for the production of a laid pipeline.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2014Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: EVONIK DEGUSSA GmbHInventors: Juergen Franosch, Jan Berger, Andreas Dowe, Marco Gensheimer, Uwe Kannengiesser

Patent number: 9556358Abstract: A method for coating of a metallic article is provided. According to the method, the metal surface is coated with a composition which comprises a polymer or comprises a two-component system that reacts to form a polymer following application to the metal surface. The composition comprises 70-2700 meq/kg olefinic double bonds which leads to stronger adhesion and to increased corrosion resistance.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2013Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: Evonik Degussa GmbHInventors: Jan Berger, Klaus Gahlmann, Harald Haeger, Markus Hartmann, Jasmin Nitsche

Publication number: 20110091983Abstract: Improved system for gas chromatography wherein use is made of a separation column and a TCD (Thermal Conductivity Detector), characterized in that the outflow from the separation column is ionized, and the ionization takes place upstream of the TCD. The ionization of the outflow from the separation column upstream of the TCD is surprisingly found in many cases to have a favourable effect on the response of the TCD. The sensitivity of the TCD is found in many cases to increase substantially. For ionization purposes use can be made of electromagnetic radiation, ionizing radiation or pyrolysis. The degree of ionization is preferably measured by means of measuring means provided for the purpose. The response of the TCD and the measurement data obtained with the measuring means are found together to give in many cases even more and better information relating to components present in the outflow from the separation column.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2009Publication date: April 21, 2011Inventors: Job Elders, Gert-Jan Berger

Publication number: 20050246824Abstract: This invention relates to a helmet, comprising an external shell (9) and an impact-absorbing helmet liner (10) in which the helmet liner comprises a layer provided with protruding, deformable and impact-absorbing hollow knobs (7) distributed on an substantial part of the surface of the helmet liner as a protective layer. The helmet is characterized in that the hollow knots (7) are arranged for deformation by crushing in case of external impact on the helmet, and that the helmet liner (10) with the hollow knots (7) exhibits undercut. The helmet may also comprise an impact-absorbing and preferably resilient layer (2) which may be arranged between the external shell (9) and an internal lining (11) being arranged to rest in contact with the head of a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2005Publication date: November 10, 2005Applicant: CRESCENDO ASInventors: Jan Berger, Johan Horsrud, Ulf Tolfsen, Roy Kristiansen
