  • Publication number: 20160345438
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a composite assembly of plastic and metal films which can be used for the interconnection and connection of light emitting diodes. For this purpose, a flexible printed circuit board is provided, to which at least one radiation source is applied and which consists of a film system. The flexible printed circuit board has a thermal connection to a heat sink and the film system is composed at least of an insulating carrier layer and a metal film. The insulating carrier layer is opened at the locations at which the thermal connection to the heat sink is produced, and the metal film is subdivided into different sections.

  • Patent number: 9445490
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composite assembly of plastic (1, 3) and metal films (2.1, 2.2) which can be used for the interconnection and connection of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) (5). For this purpose, a flexible printed circuit board is provided, to which at least one radiation source is applied and which consists of a film system. The flexible printed circuit board has a thermal connection (6) to a heat sink (4) and the film system is composed at least of an insulating carrier layer and a metal film. The insulating carrier layer is opened at the locations at which the thermal connection to the heat sink is produced, and the metal film is subdivided into different sections.

  • Publication number: 20120133012
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composite system for photovoltaic (PV) modules. The composite system consists of a carrier foil, a metal foil applied onto the carrier foil, and an insulating layer applied onto the metal foil. Using different connecting techniques, different photovoltaic (PV) cells can be fastened to the composite system and electrically interconnected thereby. In addition, the invention relates to a method for producing the composite system for PV modules, and to the use of the composite system for the back side contacting of wafer cells that have both contacts on the same side and that are placed, with the contacts, onto conductor structures that interconnect them into a module, and to the use of the composite system for modules of internally interconnected thin-film cells.

  • Patent number: 7728984
    Abstract: For evaluation of a measured parameter with a measuring cell having a cavity which generates for light an optical path length difference changing corresponding to the variation of the measured parameter, the method includes: introducing light from a white light source with the aid of an optical waveguide via a coupler (3) disposed in the path of the optical waveguide into the cavity, coupling out at least a portion of the light reflected back into the optical waveguide from the cavity with the aid of the coupler and conducting this reflected light to an optical spectrometer, determining the optical spectrum of the reflected light in the spectrometer and generating a spectrometer signal, conducting the spectrometer signal to a computing unit, wherein the spectrometer signal is directly converted through the computing unit to an interferogram and from its intensity progression the location of the particular extremal amplitude value is determined and this particular location represents directly the particular va
