  • Integration of starter current control device and on-board electrical system disconnecting switch
    Patent number: 10907604
    Abstract: An integrated starter and on-board electrical system disconnecting module for connecting to a starter battery and to an on-board electrical system by a transducer is disclosed. A method for limiting the starting current in a motor vehicle and the use of the integrated starter and on-board electrical system disconnecting module in multi-voltage on-board electrical systems, in particular during a start-stop operation of plug-in hybrid vehicles and for hybrid on-board electrical systems, are also disclosed. The transducer can be connected to a starter circuit including the starter battery from an on-board electrical system side, via a starter control device and via an on-board electrical system disconnector. The on-board electrical system can be uncoupled from the starter circuit and the starter control device and the on-board electrical system disconnector are integrated in the module.

  • Electron emission film and field emission cold cathode device
    Patent number: 6469425
    Abstract: An electron emission film includes a matrix consisting essentially of amorphous carbon and fullerene-like structures consisting essentially of a two-dimensional network of six-membered carbon rings. The fullerene-like structures are dispersed in the matrix and partially project from the matrix. The weight ratio of amorphous carbon to the fullerene-like structures is about 50:50 to 5:95. Amorphous carbon contains nitrogen acting as a donor at a concentration of about 4×10−7 to 10 atom %.
