Publication number: 20240139805Abstract: The disclosure relates to a device and a method for sintering. The device for sintering comprises an electrically conductive first component, an electrically conductive second component and at least one electrically conductive surface element for heating a green body to be sintered. The first component and the second component are movable relative to each other and/or relative to the surface element such that an electrical circuit comprising the first component, the surface element and the second component can be closed by the relative movement. In this way, a rapid sintering process is enabled on an industrial scale. The device can be integrated in a particularly simple manner into existing sintering plants, for example, a FAST/SPS sintering plant.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Tarini Prasad MISHRA, Martin BRAM, Olivier GUILLON, Ralf STEINERT

Patent number: 10086945Abstract: The invention relates to a valve (10) for controlling the internal pressure p in a cabin of an aircraft, comprising a first flap (11) and a second flap (12), wherein the flaps (11, 12) control a pressure-changing fluid flow (L) between the surroundings and the cabin through an opening (15) of a limiting element (14) of the cabin. In order to increase the inflow volume of the fluid, according to the invention at least one of the flaps (11, 12) is adjustable in the inflow position in respect of the opening (15) in the direction of the surroundings, such that the flow surface of the flap (11, 12) is increased for the air flow (L). Furthermore according to the invention at least one of the flaps (11, 22) has a closure device (21) which reduces an outflow of the fluid that had previously flowed in during an inflow process.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2011Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: Nord-Micro GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 9546001Abstract: The invention relates to a valve for controlling a fluid flow from a first environment to a second environment, having a frame for disposing a separating element in the region of an opening, said element separating the first environment from the second environment, and a first flap and a second flap for controlling the fluid flow through the opening between the first environment and the second environment, the flaps being movable in the frame. The flaps have protrusions designed to reduce noise generation in the fluid flow.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2008Date of Patent: January 17, 2017Assignee: Nord-Micro GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 9481469Abstract: The invention relates to a valve for controlling the internal pressure in a cabin of an aircraft. First and second flaps supported in a frame control a fluid flow between the environment and the cabin through an opening of the valve. The first flap is supported at a distance from a front edge of the frame and the second flap is supported on a rear edge of the frame. A closing device closes an outflow opening (56) in an inflow position of the flaps, which outflow opening is bounded by the flaps. The closing device is pivotably supported on one of the flaps, and interacts with the locking device in such a way that the closing device closes the outflow opening in the event of a pivoting motion of the flaps.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2013Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Nord-Micro GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7198062Abstract: A valve is provided for controlling a flow of a fluid between a first environment and a second environment. The valve includes a frame adapted to fit within a perimeter of an aperture in a divider separating the first environment from the second environment. The valve additionally includes a first gate movable within the frame to control a flow of the fluid through the aperture between the first environment and the second environment. The first gate includes a substantially aerodynamically clean surface substantially free from protrusions disrupting the flow of the fluid over the first gate surface. Additionally, the first gate includes a trailing edge having a baffle adapted to cover an aft edge of the frame when the first gate is positioned to have a small opening angle. The baffle includes a plurality of 3-D notches in a front side of the baffle.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2004Date of Patent: April 3, 2007Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Herbert L.

The valve includes a frame adapted to fit within a perimeter of an aperture in a divider separating the first environment from the second environment. The valve additionally includes a first gate movable within the frame to control a flow of the fluid through the aperture between the first environment and the second environment. The first gate has a substantially aerodynamically clean surface that is substantially free from protrusions that may disrupt the flow of the fluid over the first gate surface. The aerodynamically clean surface reduces coherent vortex shedding of the fluid as the fluid flows across the surface of the first gate. To further reduce vortex shedding, the first gate includes a rounded leading edge. Additionally, the first gate includes a trailing edge adapted to reduce edge tones.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2003Publication date: August 5, 2004Inventors: Martin Steinert, Frank Arnold, Ulf Michel, Wolfgang Neise, Herbert L.
