  • Patent number: 12024468
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of ceramics and concerns a method for use in displays of electronic devices with high mechanical stress, for example. The object of the present invention is to provide a method by means of which thin ceramic parts having thicknesses of substantially <1 mm with high transparency are produced. The object is achieved by a method for producing thin transparent ceramic parts, in which ceramic powders are mixed together with a solvent and a monomer and a photoinitiator, and at least 0.0005% by mass of a photoinitiator is added, the mixture is subsequently introduced into a mould, then the mixture is irradiated for at least 1 min with light which has a wavelength for activating the photoinitiator, the moulded body is subsequently removed from the mould and dried, and then the debinding and sintering of the moulded body is carried out.

  • Patent number: 11970366
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a handrail disinfecting device for a handrail of a passenger transport installation. The handrail disinfecting device has a plurality of light-emitting diodes that can emit germicidal electromagnetic radiation in the region of their light cone. A pass-through segment of the handrail disinfecting device is divided into at least two sectors and has a carrier having planes that are arranged in the sectors. The light-emitting diodes are arranged on the carrier such that they are oriented according to the planes. In one of the sectors, there are two planes that are arranged in parallel with the longitudinal extension of the pass-through segment and so as to be mutually inclined at an angle of 100° to 160°.
