20160136918 | HOSE WITH OPTIMISED STEEL WIRE REINFORCEMENT LAYERS - A high pressure hose having steel wires with different load elongation properties, which are introduced into the subsequent reinforcement layers of the hose. The difference in load elongation is quantified by the E-ratio of the wire that is equal to the tensile strength divided by the elongation at break.

20100104942 | SUBSTRATE FOR LITHIUM THIN FILM BATTERY - When attempting to make a lithium ion-switching device such as a high-efficiency, all-solid state, thin film battery the choice of carrier substrate is all important. As such a substrate must withstand a high temperature under an oxidising atmosphere to crystallise certain layers making up the device, the substrate should not oxidise thereby ruling out most metals. The invention now describes a class of ternary alloys of which the oxidation rate is limited and that are useable to produce thin film batteries on. At least one element with a high affinity to oxygen (Al, Mg, Zn or Si) is present in the alloy. The other two metallic elements reduce the growth of the oxide of this first element. In addition the thus formed oxide scale turns out to be an effective barrier to lithium. Surprisingly, the scale shows nanoscopic voids that allow for sufficient electrical contact with the device layers, thereby eliminating the need for a separate current collector. As the ternary alloy can be made in a flexible foil, it can advantageously be used in a roll-to-roll process. | 04-29-2010 |

The zone in which a radius of curvature r being smaller of equal to (K2/4H)+H/4 is provided, may be delimited by the first imaginary circle along the support member may have a diameter of 0.975 Ds and a second imaginary circle along the support member may have a diameter of 1.025 Ws. | 01-21-2010 |

20090277796 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ELECTROPLATING A SUBSTRATE IN A CONTINUOUS WAY - The invention relates to an apparatus and to a method for depositing a metal coating on an electrically conductive substrate in a continuous way. The apparatus comprises at least one plating vessel for receiving an electrolyte solution; at least one plating unit, and means to pass said substrate through said at least one plating vessel. The plating unit comprises—a first zone comprising at least one first electrode (anode) said first electrode being connected to a positive pole of a power supply; —a second zone comprising at least one second electrode (cathode) said second electrode being connected to a negative pole of a power supply; —an intermediate zone between said first zone and said second zone, said intermediate zone separating said first zone from said second by a predetermined distance being larger than zero. The substrate is functioning as a cathode having a current density Jc when the substrate is facing the first electrode, whereas the substrate is functioning as an anode having a current density Ja when the substrate is facing the second electrode. | 11-12-2009 |

20080248230 | Polymer Emi Housing Comprising Conductive Fibre - An electromagnetic shielding housing is presented that is made up out of one or more shells. The shells comprise polymer and conductive fibres and have a polymer rich surface that covers the fibres except for predefined areas where the fibres are substantially uncovered. The conductive fibres can be metal-coated non-metallic fibres or plain metallic fibres, preferably plain stainless steel fibres. A method for uncovering the fibres is also presented which comprises the breaking-off of selected protrusions or the breaking of the shell at selected recesses so as to uncover the fibres. The housing and the method solve the problem that the polymer skin leads to inferior shielding at the joint of the shells. | 10-09-2008 |
