Thomas Weissbach 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).

  • Publication number: 20220332078
    Abstract: In a first aspect, the invention relates to an apparatus for supporting a component of a tableting machine, the apparatus comprising as components an upper part, an intermediate element and a lower part. In further aspects, the invention relates to a tableting machine comprising a described apparatus and a method or use of the apparatus for adjusting a position of a component of a tableting machine. By means of the proposed apparatus, in particular the feeder support of a tableting machine and thus preferably the position of the filling device above the die table can be easily, quickly and reproducibly adjusted, preferably during machine set-up, but also during operation of the rotary tableting machine, in such a way that material loss is minimized.

  • Patent number: 11299464
    Abstract: Provided herein are imidazolium polymers having steric hindrance at the 4-position of the imidazole moieties in the polymeric chain. The sterically-protected, N-methylated imidazolium polymers exhibit hydroxide stability in concentrated caustic solutions at elevated temperatures, such as at 100° C. and higher.

  • Patent number: 11230626
    Abstract: Described herein are crosslinked alkylated poly(benzimidazole) and poly(imidazole) polymer materials and devices (e.g., fuel cells, water electrolyzers) including these polymer materials. The polymer materials can be prepared in a convenient manner, allowing for applications such as anion exchange membranes (AEMs). The membranes provide high anion conductivities over a wider range of operating conditions when compared to the analogous membranes that are not cross-linked. The crosslinked polymer materials have improved alkaline stability, when compared to the analogous non-crosslinked polymer materials.

  • Patent number: 11014321
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary press having height-staggered ram tips for carrying out at least two pressing operations, which preferably build on one another. Furthermore, the invention relates particularly to rotary presses and methods for producing multi-layer and coating-core tablets and for pressing tablets into cups during a rotation.

  • Patent number: 5568841
    Abstract: A rear frame for center pivot steered construction machinery which, for receiving adjacent machine parts or subassemblies, is formed of components extending in the longitudinal direction of the frame and constitute bearing components which can be connected with each other by further transversely extending components. When assembled, the result is a basic structure in the shape of a box which is closed or can be closed by machine parts or adjoining subassemblies.
