  • Patent number: 10751667
    Abstract: A membrane assembly for the permeative separation of a fluid from fluid mixtures includes a porous, fluid-permeable, metallic support substrate, a membrane that is disposed on the support substrate and is selectively permeable to the fluid to be separated off, and a connecting part which is formed, at least on the surface, of a fluid-tight, metallic material. The support substrate is cohesively bonded along a peripheral section thereof to the connecting part. A ceramic, fluid-permeable, porous, first intermediate layer is disposed between the support substrate and the membrane. At least one ceramic bonding layer is disposed directly on the connecting part and the material bond and extends at least over the cohesive material bond and an adjoining section of the connecting part. The first intermediate layer ends on the bonding layer and has a greater average pore size than the bonding layer.

  • Patent number: 9030488
    Abstract: In order to provide a display of an object on a display device of a motor vehicle, a basic shape of the object is first displayed and the display is then changed, this change simulating rotation, tilting and/or displacement only of a first part of the object. In respect of the remaining, second part of the object, a display on the basis of the basic shape is maintained at least in regions. In this way, space can be obtained on the display device and a significant portion of the object can nevertheless be displayed in an unchanged form at the same time.
