  • Patent number: 11774276
    Abstract: A Coriolis mass flow meter comprises a vibration element, an exciter assembly, a sensor assembly, and an electronic transformer circuit electrically coupled to the exciter assembly and the sensor assembly. The vibration element is contacted by the flowing fluid. The exciter assembly is designed to convert electric power into mechanical power to produce mechanical vibrations of the vibration element. The transformer circuit generates an electric driver signal and feeds electric power to the exciter assembly. The vibration element mechanically vibrates with a vibration frequency specified by the electric driver signal. The sensor assembly has two electrodynamic vibration sensors designed to convert vibrational movements of the vibration element at a first or at a second measurement point into electric vibration measurement signals having an AC voltage component with a frequency and with an amplitude based on the frequency and on a magnetic flux flowing through the respective vibration sensor.

  • Publication number: 20220307884
    Abstract: A method for operating a measuring device with a measuring sensor having an oscillator, the oscillator having a vibratory measuring tube for guiding a medium, comprises: Determining a current value of a resonance frequency for a vibration mode of the oscillator; exciting a vibration out of resonance with an excitation frequency that differs from the current value of the resonance frequency; and determining the amplitude of a sensor signal that represents the vibration out of resonance. The amplitude of the sensor signal of the vibration out of resonance, a sensor signal of a vibration sensor of the oscillator, is determined by a low-pass filter the time constant of which is not less than 1000 period lengths of the vibration out of resonance. Also disclosed is a measuring device for carrying out said method.

  • Patent number: 8524008
    Abstract: In the case of a device and a method for cleaning substrates on a carrier, to the underside of which the substrates are fastened so as to be parallel to and slightly apart from one another, the carrier has in its interior a plurality of longitudinal channels, which run parallel to one another. As a result of the sawing of the wafers, they merge, via openings, into interstices between the substrates. As a result of a relative movement, an elongate tube, from which cleaning fluid is let out, is introduced into one of the longitudinal channels, the relative movement being achieved substantially through moving of the carrier.

  • Publication number: 20120064300
    Abstract: A silicon block is firmly connected to a carrier for being moved together for further working by sawing, cleaning or the like. The carrier consists of plastic, for example of glass-fibre-reinforced plastic, and has in its interior a number of continuous longitudinal channels. These longitudinal channels are sawn into, and so cleaning fluid can then be introduced into the intermediate space between the sawn-up wafers in order to flush out sawing remains.

  • Publication number: 20110008145
    Abstract: In a method of separating wafers (12) from a vertical wafer stack (16), the wafers (12) are transported away individually from above via movement means (23). The movement means (23) include circulating belts (24), with a suction surface (25) against which the uppermost wafer (12) abuts, the abutment of the wafer against the suction surface (25) being enhanced by negative pressure. To separate a plurality of wafers (12) located one upon another, the movement means (23) are subjected to at least one of the following two steps: a) water (30) is forcefully jetted against the leading edge of the uppermost wafer (12), the water being directed obliquely from beneath the latter, or b) the movement means (23) guide the wafer (12) over a stripping device (32) which butts against the underside of the moving wafer and both forces the wafer against the suction surface (25) and generates a braking action thereon. Thereafter, the wafer (12) is moved to a transporting path (35, 37) to be transported for further processing.

  • Patent number: 7513287
    Abstract: A method for coating flat structural parts (2), in particular furniture fronts, with a film (3), wherein the parts lie in a pallet (1) which is turned by about 180° in a rotator after the coating process, so that the coated parts (2) joined by a common film (3) can fall out of the pallet (1) and be separated. The essential point is that a pallet (1) which can be filled on two sides is used and that the previous turning back of the pallet after the part has been removed can be omitted.

  • Patent number: 6561249
    Abstract: A press device for coating table board-shaped pieces of furniture on their upper side and side surfaces, whereby the workpieces lie next to each other on a supporting system that has many supporting bolts distributed in a grid-like manner, which can be adjusted between a passive position out of contact with the workpieces and a coating position that supports the workpieces. An elastic membrane is arranged above the supporting bolts, on which the workpieces can be placed. The elastic membrane functions to support the coating film during the coating operation.
