  • Publication number: 20230243028
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for coating a strip-type, flexible, dielectric substrate with a metal layer on a coating roll over which the substrate is guided in the longitudinal direction of the substrate during the coating process. In order to improve the adhesion of the substrate on the coating roll during the coating process, the substrate is charged. The substrate is coated with a first metal layer, wherein, in the longitudinal direction of the substrate, at least one free strip remains which is not coated with the metal layer, and the coated substrate is provided with a second metal layer.

  • Patent number: 10783767
    Abstract: Device and method for controlling Bluetooth™ enabled occupancy sensors. One example system includes a transceiver, a display, and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive from an occupancy sensor, a plurality of occupancy data points and an occupancy threshold, and to generate a graphical representation based on the data points and the threshold. The graphical representation includes a first line providing an indication of the values of the plurality of the occupancy data points relative to the occupancy threshold over time. The electronic processor is configured to present the graphical representation on the display.

  • Publication number: 20130055568
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a component, in particular a component of a turbine or a compressor, in which at least these steps are carried out: application in layers of at least one powdered component material to a component platform in the area of a buildup and joining zone; melting and/or sintering locally in layers of the component material by supplying energy with the aid of at least one electron beam in the area of the buildup and joining zone; lowering of the component platform in layers by a predefined layer thickness; and repeating steps a) through c) until completion of the component. During the manufacturing, electrons emitted due to the interaction of the electron beam with the component material are detected, after which material information, characterizing the topography of the melted and/or sintered component material, is ascertained on the basis of the emitted electrons.

  • Patent number: 6344114
    Abstract: A method of coating a substrate by magnetron cathode sputtering includes a sputtering cathode having pole shoes and being arranged in a vacuum chamber. A target and a magnetic field are provided in an area of the surface of the target and the magnetic field is varied stepwise and/or continuously to displace the plasma radially such that the erosion groove is likewise displaced radially. The variable magnetic field is generated by coils between the back surface of the target and a yoke plate while a static magnetic field is gernated by an annularly arranged magnet in the area of the yoke plate and a target space between the target and the substrate is shielded by means of an iron core which also increases the field strength of the variable magnetic field.
