Publication number: 20110161036Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the thickness of multi-layer films (13) comprising layers consisting of various non-conductive materials. According to said method, the thickness of the multi-layer film (13) is measured by a first sensor (17) and a second sensor (16) and optionally additional sensors. The first sensor (17) measures the profile of the total thickness in a short cycle with a duration of approximately 1-2 minutes, but with a large measuring error margin. The second sensor (16) measures the profile of the total thickness with a small measuring error margin but in a long cycle with a duration of approximately 10 to 30 minutes. A correction profile for the first sensor (17) can be calculated by comparing the two thickness profiles.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2011Publication date: June 30, 2011Applicant: Hch.

Patent number: 7856873Abstract: The apparatus is suited to reduce the friction between two bodies (1, 2) moving relative to each other. The two bodies (1, 2), which move relative to each other, can contact each other constantly or occasionally or have a small distance from one another of, for example, up to one millimeter. The distance can vary. With the relative movement of both bodies (1, 2), for example, the one body can be a sensor (1) which is firmly installed, and the second body can be a foil (2), which moves with considerably constant speed. The device has a vibration device (3, 4, 5, 6) for vibrating at least one of the bodies (1, 2). The vibration movements of the vibrated bodies can have any pattern.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2007Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Hch. Kuendig & Cie. AGInventor: Philipp Weber

Publication number: 20100141274Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the thickness of multi-layer films (13) comprising layers consisting of various non-conductive materials. According to said method, the thickness of the multi-layer film (13) is measured by a first sensor (17) and a second sensor (16) and optionally additional sensors, whereby all the sensors take a measurement at the same location under the same conditions if possible. The first sensor (17) and the second (16) or additional sensors generate different measured values for layers of the multi-layer film (13) of the same thickness consisting of the same material (13). The measured signals of the sensors (16, 17) are fed to a computer (18), which determines the total thickness of the multi-layer film (13) and/or the thickness of the individual layers of the multi-layer film (13) from the different measured values of the first sensor (17) and the second (16) or additional sensors.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2006Publication date: June 10, 2010Applicant: Hch.

Patent number: 6413242Abstract: Injection device (1) for injecting fluid from a fluid container (4) equipped with a piston (5), comprising an actuating device (7) having a rod-shaped driven member (9) having a structured surface, a control button (8) being movable in axial direction, and a hollow cylindrical counter component (11) having a structured internal sleeve and said counter component matching the rod-shaped driven member (9). When twisting the counter component (11) in relation to the driven member (9), the driven member (9) can be shifted freely in axial direction. This allows the free return of the driving member—without the need for additional control elements—only when the patient releases the driven member (9) by turning it, i.e. by a conscious additional operation.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 1998Date of Patent: July 2, 2002Assignee: Disetronic Licensing AGInventors: Peter Michel, Peter Nydegger, Philipp Weber
