Patent number: 10821740Abstract: The invention relates to a method for printing a surface (2) with a fluid which contains an organic semiconductor material. The fluid is transported from a storage container (7) through a supply line (5) to a printing head (3), which can be moved over the surface (2), and printed onto the surface (2) by the printing head (3). At least one part of the fluid which is transported through the supply line (5) to the printing head (3) is returned to the storage container (7) via a return line (6), wherein a fluid circuit is formed, and the fluid in the fluid circuit flows through a cleaning device (12) with which the fluid is cleaned. The fluid returned to the storage container (7) flows around and surrounds the fluid being transported in the supply line (5) to the printing head (3) at least in some regions.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2015Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Merck Patent GmbHInventors: Guenter Hauke, Edgar Boehm, Volker Hilarius

Patent number: 10513427Abstract: In the case of a method for filling a transportation container (12) with a fluid, the fluid in a purification circuit (1) is conveyed multiple times through the purification installation (7), and by way of a contamination-measurement installation (15) a key contamination indicator of a fluid-specimen quantity in the purification circuit (1) is determined, wherein a filling procedure of the transportation container (12) with the fluid is terminated only once the key contamination indicator undershoots a first threshold value. The fluid-specimen quantity that is provided for determining the key contamination indicator may be diverted from the purification circuit (1), be infed to the contamination-measurement installation (15), and upon determining the key contamination indicator be returned to the purification circuit (1).Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2017Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: Merck Patent GmbHInventors: Guenter Hauke, Leticia Garcia Diez, Volker Hilarius
