20100304045 | METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FOR TREATING OR COATING A SURFACE - The invention relates to a method for treating or coating surfaces by means of a plasma. A carrier gas is thus introduced into at least one physically separate reaction chamber and mixed with the generated plasma beam such that the carrier gas is activated or a particle beam is generated which impinges the surface of a workpiece for treatment or coating independently of the plasma stream. | 12-02-2010 |
20110005562 | Thermogenerator - A thermogenerator including several thermocouples that are electrically connected together. The thermocouples are arranged between one hot side of the thermogenerator receiving a thermal flow and a cold side that is arranged at a distance from the hot side. The thermoelectric generator that at least temporarily uses the fed thermal energy efficiently. The thermoelectric generator can be designed as a module including a collector for a thermal solar system and the thermal carrier medium flowing through the collector is guided, at least temporarily, to a thermoelectric generator by a heat exchanger. | 01-13-2011 |
20110005563 | Thermal Solar System - A thermal solar system including a collector that is connected to a heat sink, in particular a heat storage medium, by way of a solar circuit containing a heat exchange medium. To reduce overheating of the system during idling and to improve the efficiency of the solar system, the solar circuit is connected temporarily to at least one heat exchanger by way of a valve control unit disposed at a hot side of a thermogenerator receiving an inflowing heat flow. A thermal insulation reduces the exchange of thermal energy between the collector of a thermal solar system and the heat exchanger. | 01-13-2011 |
20110030917 | Heat Exchange For A Thermoelectric Thin Film Element - A heat exchanger for at least one thermoelectric thin film element, having a hot and a cold side arranged on opposite longitudinal sides of the thin film element. The hot side is connected to a coupling element on a warm source and the cold side is connected to a heat sink. The heat exchanger connects in a simple and active manner to the thermoelectric thin film element and improves the efficiency of the attached thermoelectric thin film element. Especially flexible thin film elements spread out between the coupling element and the heat sink of the heat exchanger and support the load between the coupling element and the heat sink by a thermally insulating support structure. | 02-10-2011 |
20110094681 | Device For Cleaning Objects - A device for cleaning objects includes, a device for drawing in surrounding air, a device for producing plasma and a device for blowing out a mixture of surrounding air and plasma into the object to be cleaned. The device is used preferably in household applications in the cleaning and sanitization of mattresses, joints and walls. | 04-28-2011 |
20110095688 | Apparatus for Producing Plasma - An apparatus for producing plasma, includes a container provided with at least one discharge electrode and a power supply unit that has at least one coupling electrode that can be capacitively coupled to the discharge electrode. The power supply unit is adapted to be removable from the container. The at least one coupling electrode is disposed beneath an insulating layer. In this way, the user can not come into direct contact with a coupling electrode after removing the power supply unit. | 04-28-2011 |
20120131761 | Cleaning Attachment for Vacuum Cleaner - A cleaning attachment, especially for a vacuum cleaner, includes a housing, a connection for a vacuum tube, an intake opening for ambient air, a plasma generator arranged in the housing to generate plasma, and at least one cleaning opening or a channel, along which a mixture of plasma and air passes over at the surface to be cleaned before the mixture is drawn back into the housing and through the connection. As a result, the cleaning attachment can also treat the air and the dirt with a sterilizing and odor-neutralizing action. | 05-31-2012 |
