Patent number: 11984550Abstract: A device for manufacturing a cell stack having a plurality of cell assemblies. The device comprises several positioning units accommodating the plurality of cell assemblies. The positioning units each comprise a positioning jaw enclosing the plurality of cell assemblies disposed one above the other. The device further comprises a first moving unit moving the positioning unit. The first moving unit comprises a moving plate mounted in a movable manner and an actuator. The positioning units are disposed on the moving plate. The actuator moves the moving plate. The positioning units are arranged such that the individual cell assemblies are centered between the positioning jaws by the movement initiated by the first moving unit. Finally, the device comprises a support, which is decoupled from the movement of the first moving unit, wherein the plurality of cell assemblies and/or plies rest on the support.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2020Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: GROB-WERKE GMBH & CO.

Patent number: 11973147Abstract: A power semiconductor component for voltage limiting includes a rear-side base zone electrically contacted with a rear-side electrode and a front-side base zone electrically contacted with a front-side electrode. At least one switch-on structure is embedded at least into one of the rear-side base zone and the front-side base zone and is electrically contacted by the electrode contacting the embedding base zone. At least one triggering structure is provided as a breakdown structure of a first type, present between the front-side and rear-side electrodes. At least one further triggering structure is provided as a breakdown structure of a second type, present between the front-side and rear-side electrodes. The front-side and rear-side electrodes are each electrically conductively pressure-contacted by an electrically conductive contact plate at least one of which functions as a heat sink for dissipating heat generated in the semiconductor body.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Infineon Technologies Bipolar GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 11055969Abstract: The invention relates to a card vending machine and a method for operating the same. The vending machine dispenses cards that contain electronically stored data, which are read in and processed by downstream systems, such as access control systems, vending systems, parking systems, and other systems. The vending machine is tamper-resistant and is equipped with a continuous glass panel, areas of which serve as a graphic user interface. The vending machine communicates with a central server.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2018Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: WANZL GMBH & CO. KGAAInventors: Juergen Paul, Thomas Gasche, Thomas Lutzenberger

Patent number: 7911314Abstract: A electric circuit includes a connection to a current source, an electric load, and a thermal-mechanical fuse which, in the case of failure at an excessive heat emission, interrupts the current supply to the load, which is effectuated by a feeder in which is arranged a spring having two ends, at least one end is soldered to a solder point provided in the feed line. The one solder point is under a mechanical pretension caused by the restoring force of a spring, that separates the solder joint between the spring and the solder point in the feed line, when the solder melts at the solder point.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2007Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Inventors: Alexander Dauth, Jürgen Paul, Rolf Merte, Michael Luppold
