Patent number: 9718934Abstract: Cellulose fibers are impregnated with polyethyleneimine so that the impregnation forms a type of network, which can reduce the specific resistance of the cellulose material owing to the electrical conductivity of the network. The cellulose material can thereby be advantageously adapted to use as electrical insulation of transformers, the cellulose material in this case being soaked in transformer oil. An adaptation of the specific resistance of the cellulose material to the specific resistance of the oil lead to improved dielectric strength of the transformer insulation. A method for impregnation of the cellulose material is described.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2014Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Frank Heinrichsdorff, Volkmar Lüthen, Gabriele Winkler

Patent number: 9171656Abstract: A cellulose material contains cellulose fibers having an impregnation. Accordingly, the impregnation is made of nanoparticles, in particular BNNT, containing a shell of polymers, in particular PEDOT:PSS. The impregnation forms a type of network that can reduce the specific resistance of the cellulose material due to the electrical conductivity of the network. The cellulose material can thereby be advantageously adapted to corresponding applications with respect to the electrical properties thereof. The cellulose material can thus also be used to electrically insulate transformers, wherein the cellulose material is thereby saturated with transformer oil and an adaptation of the specific resistance of the cellulose material to the specific resistance of the oil leads to improved dielectric strength of the transformer insulation. A method for producing the cellulose material described above contains a suitable impregnation step for the cellulose material.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2011Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Volkmar Luethen, Gabriele Winkler

Patent number: 8586374Abstract: In an analysis device and a method for testing the catalytic activity of surfaces, a reaction cell is provided that has a recess for a sample that is provided with the catalytic surface. In the analysis device, an optical test of the reaction occurring in the reaction cell may occur. The reaction cell has a closed channel that is part of a fluid circuit. The reaction cell may be advantageously designed in a very space-saving manner in its scale, such that a portable use of the analysis cell is possible as well. Here, a simple measurement process of the absorption capacity of the sample fluid located in the reaction cell is conducted. To this end, a laser diode is provided, the measurement stream of which is directed into the reaction cell and reflected multiple times. The light intensity is measured by means of a photodetector.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2008Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Jens Dahl Jensen, Ursus Krüger, Volkmar Lüthen, Raymond Ullrich

Patent number: 8343573Abstract: A method for repairing a component such as a turbine blade is provided. At the end of its operating time, the component has, for example, a depletion of aluminium in a region near the surface. The application of a repair layer is provided including particles with an increased proportion of aluminium. A subsequent heat treatment may achieve the effect of equalizing the concentration of aluminium between the repair layer and the region near the surface, and so the aluminium content required for new components is achieved again.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2008Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Jens Dahl Jensen, Jens Klingemann, Ursus Krüger, Daniel Körtvelyessy, Volkmar Lüthen, Ralph Reiche, Oliver Stier

Patent number: 8252384Abstract: In a method particles in a thermal spraying process are entrained by a carrier gas stream and deposited on a component to be coated. The particles are dispersed in a liquid or solid additive before being introduced into a supply line which issues into the thermal spraying apparatus, the additive, after leaving the supply line, being transferred into the gaseous state in the carrier gas stream. A liquid additive evaporates or a solid additive is sublimated, whereby the particles in the carrier gas stream are separated. The dispersal of the particles in the additive simplifies an exact metering and prevents the particles from forming lumps, so that improved layers can be deposited by virtue of an improved homogeneity of the carrier gas stream. As the additive has been transferred into the gaseous state, it is not deposited in the layer.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2007Date of Patent: August 28, 2012Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Jens Dahl Jensen, Jens Klingemann, Ursus Krüger, Daniel Körtvelyessy, Volkmar Lüthen, Ralph Reiche, Oliver Stier

Patent number: 8080278Abstract: The invention relates to a cold gas spraying method with the aid of which a substrate to be coated can be coated with particles. According to the invention, it is provided that microencapsulated agglomerates of nanoparticles are used as particles. This advantageously allows the advantages that accompany the use of nanoparticles to be used for the coating. The nanoparticles are held together by microencapsulations, wherein the microencapsulated particles formed in this way that are used in the cold gas spraying method have dimensions in the micrometer range, thereby allowing them to be used in the first place in cold gas spraying The microencapsulated nanoparticles may be used for example to produce a UV protective coating on lamp bases for gas discharge lamps.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2006Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Rene Jabado, Jens Dahl Jensen, Ursus Krüger, Daniel Körtvelyessy, Volkmar Lüthen, Uwe Pyritz, Ralph Reiche, Michael Rindler, Raymond Ullrich

Patent number: 7906171Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a layer (110) having nanoparticles (40), on a substrate (100). The invention is based on the object of specifying a method for producing a layer containing nanoparticles, which method can be carried out particularly easily and nevertheless offers a very wide degree of freedom for the configuration and the composition of the layer to be produced. According to the invention, this object is achieved in that nanoparticles (40) are released and a nanoparticle stream (50) is produced in a first process chamber (10), the nanoparticle stream (50) is passed into a second process chamber (80), and the nanoparticles (40) are deposited on the substrate (100) in the second process chamber (80).Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2006Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Siemens AktiegesellschaftInventors: Rene Jabado, Ursus Krüger, Daniel Körtvelyessy, Volkmar Lüthen, Ralph Reiche, Michael Rindler
