➀ The first KickStart team at Hochschule Koblenz has achieved a significant milestone by successfully filing a patent for an innovative payment solution called BEZLAD.

➁ Developed by Daniel Funk, Micha Bär, Marcel Klee, in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Udo Gnasa and patent attorney Hans-Peter Müller, BEZLAD enables easy management and billing of private charging processes for electric vehicles.

➂ The university supported the project in various ways, including covering the costs of the patent application and providing access to expertise from the startup office and the StartUpLab.

➀ The Fraunhofer IWU has achieved a patent-worthy achievement with the VibroDraw process, which integrates ultrasonic vibrations into deep drawing processes to reduce friction and improve material handling.

➁ The process, developed in collaboration with MARK Metallwarenfabrik GmbH and DEVAD GmbH, has the potential to reduce friction by at least 20 percent.

➂ The technology is being transferred to industry, particularly for the deep drawing of cell housings in high-voltage batteries for electric vehicles, aiming for larger cell formats and higher energy density.

➀ The Fraunhofer IWU, in collaboration with MARK Metallwarenfabrik GmbH and DEVAD GmbH, has successfully integrated ultrasound vibrations into industrial deep drawing processes with frequencies up to 500 cycles per minute using the VibroDraw method.

➁ The technique reduces friction significantly, leading to less material stress, surface damage, and cracking.

➂ The research team, led by Martin Mädlow, achieved a 20% reduction in friction by using the matrix in the forming process, with potential for further improvement.

➀ Huawei has recently applied for a brain-computer interface chip patent, indicating a significant technological breakthrough in the field.

➁ The patent, titled 'Method for controlling stimulator, stimulator, brain-computer interface system and chip,' involves controlling the electrode voltage of the stimulator to determine whether to apply an electrical pulse.

➂ The new design is said to enhance the control accuracy of the stimulator while improving the safety of the stimulator system.
