Patent number: 11923570Abstract: An assembly for an electrochemical device is provided, including a gas diffusion layer and a sealing element produced on the gas diffusion layer. The sealing element includes an inner sealing region fixed to the gas diffusion layer and an outer sealing region connected to the gas diffusion layer via the inner sealing region. The assembly has minimal warpage without the temperature in the injection molding tool having to be lowered and/or a geometric pre-compensation of the warpage of the sealing element in the inner sealing region. The sealing element includes a relief region arranged between the inner and outer sealing regions and a) includes a relief opening extending through the sealing element and/or b) has a smallest height (he), which is smaller than both one fourth of the greatest height (HI) of the inner sealing region and one fourth of the greatest height (HA) of the outer sealing region.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: EKPO FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGIES GMBHInventors: Peter Stahl, Oliver Fink, Karsten Dahl, Juergen Kraft

Patent number: 9402189Abstract: An approach is provided for validating crowd-sourced information. The approach includes processing and/or facilitating a processing of map error data to generate at least one map job and at least one activity context associated with the at least one map job, the map error data, or a combination thereof. The approach also includes determining one or more devices based, at least in part, on the at least one activity context. Further, the approach includes causing, at least in part, a transmission of the at least one map job to the one or more devices for resolving one or more map errors indicated in the at least one map job, the map error data, or a combination thereof.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2014Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: HERE Global B.V.Inventors: Cory Hohs, Jan Peter Richter, Oliver Fink, Sian-Kit Tjie, Reno Marioni, Nicol Hermann, Priscila Otero

Publication number: 20150058300Abstract: Systems, devices, features, and methods for updating a geographic database, such as a navigation-related database, and/or reporting discrepancies associated with geographic data of the geographic database are disclosed. For example, one method comprises capturing a photograph of an observed geographic feature in a geographic region. Comment information corresponding to the observed geographic feature may be stored. The comment information is indicative of a discrepancy between the observed geographic feature and the geographic data corresponding to the geographic region. The comment information may be associated with the photograph to generate a report, and the report is transmitted.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2014Publication date: February 26, 2015Inventors: David Perczynski, Oliver Fink
