Patent number: 9994952Abstract: A component, the surface of which is at least partially covered with a coating, wherein the coating comprises a PVD coating arranged between a first paint layer and a second paint layer and the first paint layer forms a base coat layer on the surface and the second paint layer forms a top coat layer having a top coat thickness on the PVD coating, wherein at least the top coat layer was produced with UV-curable paint. Proceeding from the interface of the PVD coating in a region smaller than the top coat thickness, the top coat layer has a lower degree of cross-linking induced by UV light than in the part of the top coat layer connected to said region. The invention relates in particular to a method for producing such a component.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2014Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: Oerlikon Surface Solutions AG, PfäffikonInventors: Ruediger Schaefer, Martin Kaspar

Patent number: 9917485Abstract: An electric machine has grooves and windings, divided into strands, of electrical conductors. At least one strand has a number s of coils connected in series and arranged in the grooves. Each coil has sub-conductors connected in parallel and arranged in bundles. Each bundle is arranged in a groove at a bundle position relative to a deepest possible bundle position in the groove. The positions of all bundles in all coils define a number b of possible bundle positions of the strand. The bundles are interchanged between the coils such that each bundle is arranged in the grooves at least n times and at most n? times at each possible bundle position, wherein n is the integer quotient in regard to the quotient of the number s and the number b, wherein n?=n if s is divisible by b and n?=n+1 if s is not divisible by b.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2013Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Matthias Centner, Patrick Gels, Rüdiger Schäfer, Jörg Waschek

Patent number: 9517490Abstract: An irradiation device including at least one radiation source, which emits both UV-radiation and W-radiation, i.e. visible light and/or IR radiation. The device includes a transport device for delivering substrates to be irradiated. At least one wavelength-selective filter reflects UV-radiation at an angle of 45° and transmits W-radiation. Means for the absorption of IR radiation are arranged downstream of the optical filter in the propagation direction in the beam path of the W-radiation not deflected by the wavelength-selective filter. The means for the absorption of IR radiation are also designed to absorb visible light and UV rays, and the irradiation device includes movement means in order to guide the wavelength-selective filter into and out of the beam path of the radiation source.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2013Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: OERLIKON SURFACE SOLUTIONS AG, PFAFFIKONInventors: Carlos Ribeiro, Tasso Karsch, Rüdiger Schäfer, Martin Kaspar
