20110231976Weight Distribution and Support Device and System for an Armor Vest - A load distribution device for distributing the load of an armor vest worn by a wearer. The vest includes a front portion, a rear portion, and a shoulder portion. The load distribution device includes a belt, a coupling, and one or more securement straps. The coupling attaches the belt to the rear portion of the vest. Each securement strap comprises a rear securement strap and a front securement strap. Each securement strap is configured to extend from the shoulder portion of the vest to the rear portion of the vest. In another aspect, the load distribution device includes a cummerbund. Each rear securement strap extends from a shoulder portion to a securement strap loop. Each front securement strap is fixed at one end to the cummerbund, loops through the securement strap loop, and extends in an opposite direction towards the front of the wearer.09-29-2011

20080197343Organic Field Effect Transistor Gate - An electronic device, in particular an RFID transponder, comprises at least one logic gate, in which the logic gate is formed from a plurality of layers, which are applied on a common substrate, which layers comprise at least two electrode layers and at least one of the layers, in particular an organic layer, forms a semiconductor layer which is applied as a liquid, and an insulator layer and wherein the logic gate comprises at least two differently constructed field effect transistors. The field effect transistors are formed from a plurality of functional layers applied to a carrier substrate by printing or blade coating.08-21-2008
20090189147Organic transistor comprising a self-aligning gate electrode, and method for the production thereof - An unpatterned semiconductor layer is applied to a substrate for the production of an organic transistor. An insulator is arranged on the semiconductor layer wherein at least the insulator layer is patterned, so that at least source and drain electrode layers can be formed subsequently. The source and drain electrode layers are formed after the patterning of at least the insulator layer to ensures that an overlap of both a gate electrode layer and the source and drain electrode layers is essentially avoided.07-30-2009
20090231203Antenna Configuration and Use Thereof - The invention relates to an antenna configuration, comprising at least one electrically insulating carrier substrate and at least one electrically conductive layer applied on at least one side of the carrier substrate, the electrically conductive layer having a first area region and a second area region, and the first area region of the electrically conductive layer having the form of at least one antenna structure. The at least one antenna structure is present in a manner electrically insulated from the second area region of the electrically conductive layer, and the second area region of the electrically conductive layer is subdivided, at least in regions directly adjacent to the at least one antenna structure, into island regions that are at least electrically insulated from one another. The at least one antenna configuration is suitable for use for contactlessly coupled transponders, in particular for RFID Tags or Smart Tags.09-17-2009

20090056400METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING STEPPED HOLLOW SHAFTS OR STEPPED CYLINDRICAL HOLLOW MEMBERS BY TRANSVERSE ROLLING - The invention relates to a method and a device for transversely rolling stepped hollow shafts or cylindrical hollow parts from a pipe. The invention achieves the object of rolling stepped hollow shafts of the most varied dimensions and also of greater lengths in a flexible manner from a pipe using a small number of simple tools. In accordance with the invention, the object is achieved by virtue of the fact that rolling tools which can be radially advanced and are disposed in a planet-like manner around the workpiece are used to roll the contour of the transition from a central diameter in one portion of the workpiece to the central diameter in the adjacent portion by means of co-ordinated control of the radial advance of the rolling tools and the axial feed of the workpiece, and a mandrel head having an outer diameter which is adapted to the smallest inner diameter of the two portions is disposed underneath the rolling tools.03-05-2009

20100026988ONLINE SENSOR FOR MONITORING CHEMICAL CONTAMINATIONS IN HYDRAULIC FLUIDS - An online sensor for monitoring chemical contaminations in hydraulic fluids, having a receiving device for the fluid to be monitored, the device having observations windows disposed on two opposite sides, is characterized in that the online sensor has an IR emitter and an IR detector comprising at least two, preferably four detector fields for IR spectroscopy, wherein the fields are disposed opposite of each other on both observations windows. This provides a sensor that is capable of detecting the maintenance-relevant parameters of hydraulic fluids based on phosphate esters online, which is to say without having to withdraw the same from the airplane's hydraulic system and remove the same as a sample.02-04-2010

20100027006DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MONITORING THE PARTICLE CONTAMINATION IN FLOWING HYDRAULIC FLUIDS - A device for monitoring particle contamination in flowing hydraulic fluids includes a mechanism for particle counting and particle sizing. Further, a method for monitoring particle contamination in flowing hydraulic fluids: determines fluid flow velocity; counts particles in the hydraulic fluid passing the light barrier for a fixed period of time; and obtains particle size distribution by using a range of different trigger levels. The monitoring device is insertable into an A/C hydraulic system to enable an online-monitoring of degradation of fluid quality during normal flight operations or on the ground. The device and method help lower costs for A/C maintenance and increase A/C availability since necessary service actions can be scheduled strategically.02-04-2010
