Stephan Ertl has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Diamond-based electrical resistor component
    Patent number: 7393717
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical component having a resistance area and contacts electrically connected to the resistance area, the resistance area including electrically conductive diamond. The resistance area can be configured as a resistance layer on top of a substrate while the substrate can be made at least in part of electrically non-conducting diamond.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 7, 2003
    Date of Patent: July 1, 2008
    Assignee: Rosenberger Hochfrequenztechnik GmbH & Co. KG
    Inventors: Peter Gluche, Stephan Ertl, Dirk Grobe

  • Instrument for surgical purposes and method of cleaning same
    Patent number: 6558380
    Abstract: An instrument for surgical purposes, especially for coagulation, is proposed. This instrument has at least one arm, the tips of the arms having electrical contact regions which can be electrically connected to a control unit for touching a tissue for the purpose of coagulation. The contact regions are formed from doped diamond to produce the electrical conductivity.
