  • Patent number: 9330890
    Abstract: The invention relates to a flexible flat electrode arrangement for a dielectrically limited gas discharge, comprising a central region (3), an edge region, and a flat electrode (14) which conducts a high-voltage potential and which is embedded in a flat dielectric that forms an upper face (10) and a contact face (6). The invention allows the active surface of the electrode arrangement to be matched to the size of a surface to be treated in that the flat dielectric is in the form of a flat strip (1) wound into a spiral at least in the edge region, and the electrode (14) is formed by at least one electric conductor which runs in the longitudinal direction of the wound strip (1) and which leads into an end surface (13) of the strip (1).

  • Patent number: 9287094
    Abstract: A plasma treatment device for treating a surface with a dielectrically impeded plasma field which is generated between an electrode (16), to which a high voltage is supplied, and the surface, wherein the electrode (16) forms, with a dielectric (17) surrounding the electrode (16), a roller (6) mounted rotatably in a grip housing (1), which roller can be rolled on the surface, has an extended treatment field and enables defined and controlled plasma treatment of the surface by virtue of the fact that the roller (6) is designed such that it can be matched flexibly to irregularities on the surface and has a rolling area with elevations (19, 19?), between which interspaces (20) forming the plasma field are located.

  • Publication number: 20150216026
    Abstract: An electrode arrangement for forming a dielectrically impeded plasma between an active surface of a flexible, planar electrode that can be connected to a high voltage source has a planar, flexible dielectric that forms the active surface which is connected to the planar electrode to form an electrode element where the electrode is completely covered towards to surface to be treated. The electrode arrangement is adaptable to irregular surfaces using a contact with surface elasticity for pressing onto the rear face of the electrode element facing away from the surface such that the electrode element by local deformation is automatically adapted to the irregularities.

  • Patent number: 9038645
    Abstract: In order to treat human or animal hair fixedly arranged on a sopport, hair is divided into strands. The divided strands are subjected to a dielectric plasma treatment by drawing an apparatus connected to a high voltage source (8) through the strands. The apparatus can be in the form of tongs or have a comb-like structure.

  • Patent number: 9005188
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrode arrangement for a dielectric barrier discharge plasma treatment of an irregularly three-dimensionally shaped surface of an electrically conducting body used as a counter electrode, comprising a planar electrode (1) and a dielectric (2, 3), which is designed to be arranged at a defined distance from the surface to be treated in order to form a cold plasma, wherein said arrangement can be produced in a simple manner and can be reliably designed in the use thereof in that the dielectric (2, 3) is formed by a flexible planar material, which is provided with a structure (4) on the side of the flexible planar material facing the surface to be treated in order to form air guiding areas (7) when the dielectric (2, 3) lies on the surface to be treated, and in that the planar electrode is flexible and Is fastened to the dielectric (2, 3) in such a way that a layer (2) of the dielectric (2, 3) shields the electrode (1) from the surface to be treated.

  • Patent number: 6228432
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for the production of continuous composite materials from unidirectional reinforcing fibers and from thermoplastics, the longitudinally moved bundle of parallel continuous reinforcing fibers being preheated and impregnated with a continuously supplied thermoplastic melt, whereupon the continuous composite material thus formed is cooled. In order to improve the impregnating operation, it is proposed, according to the invention, that the thermoplastic melt form an elongate impregnation stage, into which mechanical energy is introduced continuously in order to reduce the melt viscosity, and that the preheated fiber bundle be drawn continuously through the zone of reduced melt viscosity.
