Publication number: 20100263694Abstract: A decoating device for axially symmetric components, particularly from aircraft engines is provided, the decoating process being carried out through the use of a decoating fluid-which is brought on a localized basis into contact with the component to be decoated, a receptacle for holding the decoating fluid being provided that rotates at least about one axis of rotation, and the decoating fluid surface forming a rotation paraboloid in response to the rotation, the component(s) to be decoated on a localized basis being accommodated in the receptacle and being dipped on the radially outer side into the decoating fluid. A decoating device is thereby devised which makes it possible for radially symmetric components to be decoated in the radially outer region in a simple process.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2007Publication date: October 21, 2010Applicant: MTU Aero Engines GmbHInventors: Thomas Uihlein, Wolfgang Eichmann, Falko Heutling, Markus Uecker, Thomas Brendel, Georgios Paronis, Anton Albrecht, Manfred Berger

Patent number: 4999380Abstract: Lipid of blackcurrant seed is employed for treating of lipoprotein disorders associated with cholesterol metabolism. Its administration to humans produces an increase of cholesterol of the high-density lipoproteins and a reduction of the cholesterol of the low-density lipoproteins.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1988Date of Patent: March 12, 1991Assignee: Nestec S.A.Inventors: Manfred Berger, Daniele Spielmann, Helmut Traitler

Patent number: 4946747Abstract: Machine elements formed which overcome the problems associated with rolling bearings or rolling drive units, which, apart from load under rolling are simultaneously exposed to frictional load, which leads in particular zones to frictional wear. In order to keep this to a minimum the invention teaches to apply on the effected surfaces of such structural parts a coating of a friction bearing material, which, however, according to the findings of the invention must be applied with the PVD method and must have a thickness of the order of magnitude of the surface roughness of the base body; known thicker friction bearing coatings are not suitable. The invention is especially for forming gear wheels, rolling bearings, shafts, compressor screws, and rolling pistons.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 1988Date of Patent: August 7, 1990Assignee: Balzers AGInventors: Erich Bergmann, Manfred Berger
