Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080229944Device and Method for Screen-Process Printing - A device for screen printing includes a bearing surface for an object which is to printed and a printing mechanism including at least one printing mechanism frame and a doctor blade holder for securing a doctor blade which can be displaceably guided in a longitudinal direction in the printing mechanism frame and which extends in a transversal manner inside the printing mechanism frame. The printing mechanism is arranged in a displaceable manner on a plane extending parallel to the longitudinal direction and at least in a perpendicular manner on the bearing surface, and a mechanism is provided for coordinated displacement of the printing mechanism and doctor blade holder. The device may be used, for example, for printing curved vehicle windshields.09-25-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080284344POWER SUPPLY UNIT FOR GAS DISCHARGE PROCESSES - A method of generating an output DC voltage of a gas discharge process voltage supply unit, in which in a first voltage transformation stage a first DC voltage is transformed into a second DC voltage of a predetermined voltage range, and the output DC voltage is generated from the second DC voltage in a second voltage transformation stage. A switching element of at least one boost converter is switched with a controlled pulse-duty factor for generating the output DC voltage in the second voltage transformation stage. This method permits striking and maintenance of a plasma process.11-20-2008

20090102300Spindle motor for a hard disk drive - The invention relates to a spindle motor for a hard disk drive comprising a baseplate (04-23-2009
20090140587Spindle motor having a fluid dynamic bearing system and a stationary shaft - The invention relates to a spindle motor having a fluid dynamic bearing system comprising axial and radial bearings that contains a rotor component (06-04-2009
20090274402Fluid dynamic bearing - The invention relates to a fluid dynamic bearing having at least one first bearing part as well as a second bearing part that are rotatably supported with respect to one another about a rotational axis and separated from one another by a bearing gap filled with bearing fluid. Associated bearing surfaces of the bearing parts form a first and a second radial bearing that are marked by grooved bearing patterns disposed on at least one bearing surface. Between the radial bearings, there is a separator gap having an enlarged gap distance compared to the bearing gap. According to the invention, the ends of the grooved bearing patterns of the radial bearings adjoining the separator gap penetrate into the separator gap. This measure goes to prevent the creation of negative pressure at the ends of the grooved bearing patterns, as a result of which the formation of air bubbles is also reduced. The larger gap distance of the separator gap and the direct connection to the grooved bearing patterns result in an improved flow rate of the bearing fluid through the grooved bearing patterns.11-05-2009
20100270881FLUID DYNAMIC BEARING - The invention relates to a fluid dynamic bearing system having a stationary bearing component and a moving bearing component, that are separated from one another by a bearing gap filled with a bearing fluid. There are two radial bearing regions separated from one another and marked by radial bearing grooves. A separator region having a larger bearing gap width is disposed between the radial bearing regions. The radial bearing grooves of the two radial bearing regions have inner ends facing each other and outer ends facing away from each other. At least the outer ends of the radial bearing grooves are connected to each other by connecting grooves. According to the invention, wear zones provided especially for this purpose are disposed adjoining the connecting grooves, so as to prevent material wear at other regions of the bearing.10-28-2010
