  • Patent number: 8895874
    Abstract: Thin indium-less “optically porous” layers adapted to replace traditional ITO layers are provided herein. A thin metalized film adapted to carry an electrical charge can include a dense pattern of small openings to allow the transmission of light to or from an underlying semiconductor material. The pattern of openings can create a regular or irregular grid pattern of low aspect ratio fine-line metal conductors. Creation of this optically porous metalized film can include the printing of a catalytic precursor material, such as palladium in solution in a pattern on a substrate, drying or curing the catalytic precursor, and the deposition of a thin layer of metal, such as copper on the dried precursor to form the final conductive and optically porous film.

  • Publication number: 20090056674
    Abstract: The hold-down device for a fuel injection device is distinguished by a particularly simple design that nonetheless permits a very effective holding down of a fuel injection valve. The fuel injection device includes at least one fuel injection valve, a receptacle bore for the fuel injection valve, and a connecting fitting of a fuel distributor line, the hold-down device being clamped between a shoulder of the fuel injection valve and an end surface of the connecting fitting. The hold-down device has a partially annular base element from which there extends, in a bent-away fashion, an axially flexible hold-down clip that has at least two webs, two oblique segments, and two support segments. The fuel injection valve is particularly suitable for use in fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing externally ignited internal combustion engines.

  • Publication number: 20070243247
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dosage form, containing the active ingredient cholylsarcosine, in the form of pellets, which are provided with a polymer coating that is resistant to gastric juices. The invention is characterised in that it discloses pellets comprising an active ingredient, which contain between 50 and 80 wt. % of the active ingredient cholylsarcosine and between 50 and 20 wt. % of one or more conventional pharmaceutical adjuvants as binding agents, whereby at least 90 wt. % of said adjuvants are water-soluble and the size of at least 80 % of the pellets comprising an active ingredient is between 800 and 2,500 $g(m)m. The granulates containing an active ingredient are coated with an anonic, film-forming polymer coating agent, which dissolves in a 0.07M sodium phosphate buffer with a pH value of 5.5 at a dissolution rate of at least 10 mg/min*g and whose dissolution rate in a 0.07M sodium phosphate buffer with a pH value of 6.0 is at least 200 mg/min*g.

  • Patent number: 6102007
    Abstract: A fuel injection system for injecting fuel into an internal combustion engine having at least one fuel injection valve, which has a fuel inlet orifice on an inlet section and having a fuel distribution line, which has, for each fuel injection valve a fuel outlet orifice that may be connected to the fuel inlet orifice of the fuel injection valve, and a connection fitting, connected downstream to the fuel outlet orifice. A connection arrangement injection valve to the respective fuel outlet orifice of the fuel distribution line is provided. The connection arrangement includes an annular seal support and a sleeve that can be inserted in the fuel inlet orifice. The annular seal support has a first sealing element for sealing the seal support against the inlet section of the fuel injection valve, and a second sealing element for sealing the seal support against the connection fitting of the fuel distribution line.
