  • Device and method for producing a moulded body having microstructures
    Patent number: 9022775
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for producing a moulded body having microstructures from moulding material. The method for producing a moulded body having microstructures on a carrier out of moulding material is effected by inputting a moulding material into a container (10) comprising a mould cavity (14), wherein at least one micro-structured mould (12) is provided in the mould cavity. Furthermore, the centrifugation of a container (10) is carried out until the moulding material has completely entered into the structure of the mould (12). Thereafter, the curing of the moulding material is carried out to form a moulded body having microstructures, which is then removed from the mould (12) and the container (10).

  • Capacitor having an adhesion layer at the cathode contact
    Patent number: 6744620
    Abstract: A capacitor comprises an anode body that is surrounded by a housing, an anode contact projecting out of the inside of the anode body, and a cathode contact proceeding along the upper side of the anode body, this cathode contact having its housing side coated with an adhesion layer. As a result of the adhesion layer, the risk of the formation of bubbles and, thus, the risk of a tearing of the housing is alleviated.
