Patent number: 7095230Abstract: In a unilateral NMR probe for the analysis of a material comprising at least one magnet for generating a constant time-invariant polarization field B0 in the material to be analyzed and current conductors forming a radio frequency oscillation circuit for generating a pulsed radio frequency magnetic excitation field B1 which is superimposed on the polarization field N0 in the material, the circuit conductors are so designed as to provide several adjacent excitation fields B0 with alternatingly oppositely oriented magnetic fields, whereby the current conductors generating each one of the excitation fields have a distance from each other which causes a certain penetration depth in the material to be analyzed and echoes received therefrom provide measurement values which are characteristic for the material being analyzed.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2004Date of Patent: August 22, 2006Inventors: Bernhard Blümich, Michael Bruder, Martin Klein, Karl-Heinz Krause, Michael Rabkin, Jürgen Stangenberg, Vladimir Anferov, Sophia Anferova, Radu Fechete

Patent number: 7045144Abstract: The invention relates to a plaster containing an active agent, comprising at least one cover membrane and an active membrane which is based on a skin-compatible matrix containing a molecular sieve which is loaded with at least one active agent. The molecular sieve/active agent adduct releases the active agent when the active membrane comes into contact with the skin, in conjunction with the transpired water of the skin. The inventive plaster is characterised in that the molecular sieve/active agent adduct also contains water of crystallisation, to the extent that the molecular sieve is partially hydrated compared to a sufficient basic molar quantity (m) of water of crystallisation, the molecular sieve with the reduced molar quantity (m?) of water of crystallisation being loaded with the active agent (Z, Z1, Z2) so that when the active membrane comes into contact with the skin, water is absorbed and the active agent is desorbed, whereupon the water of crystallisation content of the molecular sieve increases.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2001Date of Patent: May 16, 2006Assignee: Intech Thüringen GmbHInventors: Werner Schunk, Michael Bruder, Konrad Giessmann, Karl-Heinz Krause, Gerhard Merkmann

Patent number: 6976281Abstract: A medical cushion (1), in particular an anti-decubitus cushion, is in particular multicellular and is distinguished in that the cushion is equipped, at least in the area where skin contact (6) occurs, with an active membrane (3) based on a skin-compatible matrix (4) into which a molecular sieve is mixed. This molecular sieve is charged with at least one active substance (Z, Z1, Z2), and the molecular sieve/active substance adduct (5) releases the active substance when the active membrane comes into skin contact (6) in conjunction with the transpiration of the skin.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2002Date of Patent: December 20, 2005Assignee: INTECH Thüringen GmbHInventors: Werner Schunk, Michael Bruder, Karl-Heinz Krause, Gerhard Merkmann, Jörg Vortkort

Publication number: 20040137296Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel cell (1) comprising at least the following components: a proton-conducting membrane (2) serving as an electrolyte; catalyst layers (3), which cover the membrane (2) on both sides; gas-permeable electrodes provided in the form of an anode (4) and a cathode (5), which rest against the outwardly pointing surface of the catalyst layers (3), and; electrically conductive plates (6), which contact the electrodes in an electrically conductive manner whereby being located close to one another and which, together with the electrodes, delimit gas-conducting channels. The fuel cell also comprises gas connections for supplying hydrogen (H2) on one side and oxygen (O2) on the other. The inventive fuel cell (1) is characterized in that the membrane (2) has a matrix into which a proton-conducting organic-based polymer substance is incorporated.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2003Publication date: July 15, 2004Inventors: Werner Schunk, Michael Bruder, Uwe Heiber, Karl-Heinz Krause, Gerhard Merkmann

Publication number: 20020192524Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel cell (1), comprising at least the following components: a proton-conducting polymer membrane (2) as the electrolyte; catalyst layers (3) covering the polymer membrane (2) on both sides; gas-permeable electrodes in the form of an anode (4) and a cathode (5), which lie adjacent to the surface of the catalyst layers (3) that faces outwards; electroconductive plates (6), which come into electroconductive contact with the electrodes in at short distances and which together with the electrodes, delimit channels carrying gas; and gas connections for supplying hydrogen (H2) and for supplying oxygen (O2). The inventive fuel cell (1) is characterized in that the polymer membrane (2) is a mixture based on a polymer blend containing at least one first polymer group A which is based on a halogenated and/or sulphonated polyalkene, and one second polymer group B which is based on a vulcanized rubber with a polar character.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2002Publication date: December 19, 2002Inventors: Michael Bruder, Uwe Heiber, Karl-Heinz Krause, Gerhard Merkmann

Patent number: 6471139Abstract: The invention relates to a rail arrangement for a rail superstucture such as a fixed railroad, comprising an elastic intermediate plate (3) which is located between the rail foot and a hard support (6) in the form of a concrete tie and has two through holes for the screws (7) to fasten the rails. For series mounting, which is the solution of choice, the elastic intermediate plate (3) is combined with an elastic intermediate layer (1) in such a way that the additional intermediate layer rests above the intermediate plate directly below the rail foot, whereby the intermediate layer (1) is separated from the intermediate plate (3) by a metal base plate (2) which serves to fasten the rail.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 1999Date of Patent: October 29, 2002Assignee: Phoenix AktiengesellschaftInventors: Michael Bruder, Michail Rabkin, Karl-Heinz Krause, Edgar Böhm, Gerhard Merkmann, Peter Schwob, Klaus Tübel
