| 20080209896 | Catalyst System for an Internal Combustion Engine and Method for Producing It - A catalyst system for an internal combustion engine with at least one cylinder and/or piston is characterized in that the catalyst is arranged in the form of nanoparticles on the cylinder and/or piston. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20090005233 | Component with a ceramic coating, into which particles are embedded, and method for producing said component - The subject matter of the invention is a component which is provided with a ceramic coating forming the surface. Inventively there is provision at least in a cover layer of the coating for nanoparticles made from a colorant (CrCoAl or a spinel-type oxide) and aluminum oxide nanoparticles. This combination of nanoparticles in the coating advantageously results in a resistance to high temperatures of the coloring of the surface of up to 1000° C. not previously known. This allows even components under great stress, such as for example compressor or turbine blades of a gas turbine, to be provided with temperature-resistant coloring. This can then be used for an optical inspection for example. Protection is also claimed for a method for creating the inventive coating | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090117027 | Method of Carrying Out a Reaction in a Microreaction Chamber - Disclosed is a method for carrying out a reaction in a microreaction chamber. Nanoparticles which have been advantageously subjected to specific reactions in the microreaction chamber are used for carrying out the reaction. The obtained reaction product, which is preferably also provided in the form of nanoparticles. can then be removed from the microreaction chamber. Advantageously, the ongoing reaction can be specifically influenced by using the microreaction chamber. Both endothermic and exothermic reactions can be carried out with an accurately predictable result by feeding energy in a dosed manner into/out of the reaction chamber. | 05-07-2009 |

| 20090315573 | Component with a detection structure for mechanical damage - A component made of electrically insulating material with a detection structure for mechanical damage such as cracks is disclosed. The detection structure is a conductor. The electrical properties of the detection structure are modified as more and more cracks are formed such that the component will be replaced in time before breaking. The electrical conductor is formed by particles that are in contact with each other and have a metallic surface such that an electrical conductor is created which is particularly sensitive to mechanical damage, thus rendering the detection structure highly sensitive. Furthermore, if the metallic surface is produced merely by cladding the particles while the inside of the particles is made of the same material as the component, a conductor featuring an adapted thermal expansion behavior is created for components that are subject to great thermal stress, e.g. heat shield panels. | 12-24-2009 |
