  • Patent number: 11278308
    Abstract: A blade for a cutting instrument, in particular for medical use, includes a first ceramic layer, a second ceramic layer, and a heating device arranged between the first ceramic layer and the second ceramic layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 12, 2016
    Date of Patent: March 22, 2022
    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH

  • Patent number: 9877396
    Abstract: A method for producing a receptacle for a sensor element, such as a combustion chamber pressure sensor, includes introducing a first amount of a pre-ceramic substance into an injection mold, forming a base layer of the receptacle by molding the pre-ceramic substance in the mold, and applying at least one conductor track to the base layer. A further amount of a pre-ceramic substance is introduced into the mold onto at least a partial region of the conductor track. A top region of the receptacle is formed directly on the base layer while at least partially covering over the conductor track by molding the further pre-ceramic substance in the injection mold. The method also includes debinding and sintering the molded body. The method forms a receptacle for a sensor element that has conductor tracks lying on the inside and incorporated in a gas-tight manner in a ceramic body.

  • Patent number: 9381670
    Abstract: A ceramic composition for an injection-molding process for producing a combustion chamber pressure sensor, in particular for producing an insulation punch of a combustion chamber pressure sensor, includes a ceramic component in a proportion of greater than or equal to 50% by weight and a glass component in a proportion of less than or equal to 50% by weight. The ceramic component includes aluminum oxide. The glass component includes silicon dioxide or a silicon dioxide precursor. The ceramic composition further includes an alkaline earth metal oxide or an alkaline earth metal oxide precursor. The ceramic composition allows production of an insulation punch having a particularly good insulation capability. A ceramic injection-molding process includes the ceramic composition.

  • Publication number: 20140356758
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a tubular fuel cell by means of a pulling-core tool (11), wherein the pulling-core tool (11) comprises at least one tool part (12a, 12b) that forms a cavity and a pulling core (13) that can be positioned in at least two positions (A, B) in the cavity, wherein a hollow space (14, 14a) can be formed between the pulling core (13) and the at least one cavity-forming tool part (12a, 12b), which hollow space substantially corresponds to the shape of a tubular body to be formed, said tubular body being closed at one end by a cap section, wherein the pulling-core tool (11) has at least one sprue channel (15) that opens into the hollow-space region (14a) having the shape of the cap section.
