Patent number: 10297976Abstract: A diode laser bar assembly is formed to exhibit a relatively low thermal resistance, which also providing an increased range of conditions over which the internal stress conditions may be managed. In particular, the submount configuration of the prior art is replaced by a pair of platelets, disposed above and below the diode laser bar so as to form a “sandwich” structure. The bottom platelet is disposed between the heatsink (cooler) and the diode laser bar. Thus, the bottom platelet may be relatively thin, creating a low thermal resistance configuration. The combination of the top and bottom platelets provides the ability to create various configurations and designs that best accommodate stress conditions for a particular situation.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2016Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: II-VI Laser Enterprise GmbHInventors: Jürgen Müller, Rainer Bättig, Reinhard Brunner, Stefan Weiss

Patent number: 10273551Abstract: In the case of a method for the heat treatment of erected, preferably large-area tube wall regions or tube wall segments, in particular of a diaphragm wall, of a steam generator, in particular of a power plant, in the installed state, it is sought to provide a solution which permits the use of steel types which are more problematic with regard to power plant operation with elevated steam parameters, in particular the steels T23 and T24, in the erection of steam generators. This is achieved in that the tube wall regions or tube wall segments for heat treatment are subjected, in the installed state in the steam generator, and in particular over a large area, to a stress-relief annealing process.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2012Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignees: Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe GmbH, General Electric Technology GmbHInventors: Jürgen Müller, Rudolf Thesing, Kurt Busekrus, Carsten Stegemann, Gerhard Weissinger, Michael Heim, Thoralf Berndt

Patent number: 10270373Abstract: A method for pulse-modulated current control of an inductive load current. A first operating mode is implemented when a change in current setpoint value is effected. An initial duty cycle of the pulse modulation is determined and used to operate the inductive load in a second operating mode. In the first operating mode, a switching state of at least one switching element is set depending on whether a current setpoint value of the load current is higher or lower than a current setpoint value of a directly preceding cycle. The switching state is retained until a current limit value is reached and then switched over. The switching state of the switching element is switched over multiple times to generate a prescribed number of periods, and the duty cycle of the pulse modulation is determined based on at least a portion of the prescribed number of periods.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2016Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: Continental Teves AG & Co. oHGInventors: Dirk Morschel, Jürgen Müller, Axel Schmitz

Patent number: 9800020Abstract: A broad area laser diode is configured to include an anti-guiding layer located outside of the active region of the device. The anti-guiding layer is formed of a high refractive index material that serves to de-couple unwanted, higher-order lateral modes (attributed to thermal lensing problems) from the lower-order mode output beam of output signal from the laser diode. The anti-guiding layer is formed using a single epitaxial growth step either prior to or subsequent to the steps used to grow the epitaxial layers forming the laser diode itself, thus creating a structure that provides suppression of unwanted higher-order modes without requiring a modification of specific process steps used to fabricate the laser diode itself.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2016Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: II-VI Laser Enterprise GmbHInventors: Jarkko Telkkälä, Jürgen Müller, Norbert Lichtenstein
