Patents by Inventor BARBARA BOEHM

BARBARA BOEHM has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10814722
    Abstract: A method is provided for the power requirement-dependent operation of a generator unit mounted on an agricultural work vehicle. A power output of the generator unit is varied as a function of a determined power requirement of an electrical consumer, which is fed with the power of the generator unit of an attachment which is connected to the agricultural work vehicle.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10173662
    Abstract: A method for determining a control parameter of a power or torque distribution regulator for a hybrid drive of a work machine having the steps of automatically determining a work cycle that has just been performed by the work machine, and selecting of the control parameter as a function of the work cycle determined in the previous step.

  • Patent number: 10099736
    Abstract: A method for controlling the driving of at least one drive axle on a trailer of a traction vehicle-trailer combination includes determining a target drive power for the drive axle of the trailer as a function of a distribution of contact forces on the trailer or on the traction vehicle, or as a function of a traction drive power for the traction vehicle. The method further includes providing drive control signals for controlling an electrical drive for the drive axle of the trailer. The drive control signals are derived from the determined target drive power.

  • Patent number: 10015927
    Abstract: An energy management system for an agricultural vehicle arrangement includes an electric power supply unit for the supply of a large number of electrical consumers with electric power, and a consumption monitoring unit for the determination of a total energy demand dependent on an actual operating state of the electrical consumers. The consumption monitoring unit undertakes an estimate of the electric power supply available from the electric power supply unit and compares it to the determined total electric power demand in order to reduce the electric power supply to the electrical consumers as a function of assigned supply priorities when the available electric power supply is exceeded by the determined total energy demand. The consumption monitoring unit undertakes a dynamic adaptation of the supply priorities as a function of a changing cooling demand of a vehicle unit that is cooled by means of at least one of the electrical consumers.

  • Patent number: 9985499
    Abstract: A generator unit is provided for attachment to an agricultural work vehicle with a gear module and a generator module. The gear for the driving of the generator module is connected in a drive system with the generator module, and the gear module and the generator module are hydraulically connected with one another via an integrated cooling and lubricating agent circuit.

  • Patent number: 9809249
    Abstract: A device for the steering assistance of a vehicle combination of a towing vehicle and an attached implement in which the attached implement swivels at a rear coupling point of the towing vehicle. The implement includes wheels that are arranged on opposite sides, which can be acted on by the control of corresponding individual wheel drives, independently of one another, with a drive torque. An electronic control unit applies a yawing moment to the implement by the asymmetrical control of the individual wheel drives in such a way that a transverse force exerted on the towing vehicle through the rear coupling point, builds up in the sense of the attainment of a pre-specified steering behavior of the vehicle combination.
