  • Patent number: 11161827
    Abstract: In one aspect, the disclosure relates to a mode of asymmetric induction in radical processes based on sequential combination of enantiodifferentiative H-atom abstraction and stereoretentive radical substitution. Also disclosed is an asymmetric system for stereoselective synthesis of strained 5-membered cyclic sulfamides via radical 1,5-C—H amination of sulfamoyl azides. The disclosed metalloradical system can control the degree and sense of asymmetric induction in the catalytic radical C—H amination in a systematic manner. The disclosed system is applicable to a broad scope of substrates with different types of C(sp3)—H bonds and exhibits reactivity and selectivity, providing access to both enantiomers of useful 5-membered cyclic sulfamides in a highly enantioenriched form. Also disclosed are catalysts useful in these processes. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

  • Patent number: 11004601
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a forming method for producing a composite part for an operating member, the method comprising the steps: disposing at least one permanent magnet in an injection-molding tool, which defines a mold cavity, and a heat-conducting reinforcement, which extends along the permanent magnet and is in touching contact with the injection-molding tool, in each case at a predefined position of the mold cavity; overmolding the permanent magnet with molding material by introducing molding material into the mold cavity; forming the composite part having the at least one permanent magnet, the heat-conducting reinforcement and the molding material.

  • Patent number: 10768703
    Abstract: The present disclosure is a touch-sensitive input detector having an operating unit with an input surface; a support; a fastener for mounting the operating unit to the support in a vibration direction so as to be displaceable from a resting position and elastically restorable; and an actuator for stimulating the operating unit to vibrate in the direction of vibration for a haptic feedback; wherein the fastener for attaching the operating unit includes leaf spring elements, which each form a first section for attaching to the support and a second section for attaching to the operating unit, and an intermediate middle section, so that the operating unit is mounted on the support in an elastically vibratable manner, and which are arranged at a distance from each other by the middle section, wherein at least one section from first section and second section is attached by a form-fit seat, such as overmolding.
