Lothar Herlitze has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Method for producing a coated item by means of texture etching
    Patent number: 9112072
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a coated object (2) through deposition of at least one transparent, conductive metal-oxide layer (3) on a substrate (5), comprising the deposition (I) and preferably subsequent temperature treatment (II) of the coating (3). After the optional temperature treatment (II), the surface texture (8) of the coating (3) is statistically adjusted through an etching process.

  • Method for constructing contact element for multi-layer system
    Patent number: 8728572
    Abstract: A device and method relating to a layer system is provided. A substrate with a multi-layer system disposed on the substrate is provided. The multi-layer system has at least one upper layer and at least one layer. A contact element is applied through cold-gas spraying in such a manner that the contact element penetrates the upper layer and contacts the lower layer. The upper layer of the multi-layer system has a scratch-resistant top-layer.

  • MULTI-LAYER SYSTEM WITH CONTACT ELEMENTS AND A METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING A CONTACT ELEMENT FOR A MULTI-LAYER SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20100326512
    Abstract: The invention relates to a layer system comprising a contact element (5) and a substrate (1). A multilayer system (14) that is disposed on the substrate (1) has at least one top layer (3; 4) and a bottom layer (2; 3) as well as a contact element (5) which penetrates the at least one top layer (3; 4) and contacts the bottom layer (2; 3). The invention further relates to a method for producing a contact element (5) of a multi-layer system (14).

  • METHOD FOR PRODUCING A COATED ARTICLE BY SPUTTERING A CERAMIC TARGET
    Publication number: 20090286105
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a coated article (1) by deposition of at least one metal oxide layer (3, 4) on a substrate (2). An oxygen-containing sputtering atmosphere is first produced in a coating chamber. A metal oxide layer is deposited on the substrate in that oxygen-containing atmosphere by sputtering a nitrogen-containing, ceramic target.

  • Coating method and coating
    Publication number: 20050040034
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for applying one or several coats to a substrate in a device comprising a PVD/CVD coating chamber. One solid matter is physically transformed at least in part into a gaseous phase and is applied to the substrate in the gaseous phase. At least one additional compound and/or one additional metal is added to the gaseous phase in liquid or gaseous form, and the at least one additional compound and/or the at least one additional metal reacts with the surface of the substrate. The invention also relates to a coating that is produced according to said method.
