Patents by Inventor Michel Bert

Michel Bert 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).

  • Electrical circuit for transmitting state information, in particular concerning rail rolling stock, and an electrical system incorporating such a circuit
    Patent number: 6646362
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical circuit for transmitting the state of a parameter or of an item of equipment, said electrical circuit being designed to be connected to the terminals of a power supply storage battery and comprising: an isolated link between said electrical circuit and an output (S) for transmitting an item of state information; and a switch whose open position or whose closed position is representative of the state information and which determines whether current flows through said electrical circuit, the electrical circuit transmitting the state information from the switch to the output via the isolated link.

  • Electrical circuit for transmitting state information, in particular concerning some member in railway rolling-stock, and an electrical system incorporating such a circuit
    Patent number: 6483431
    Abstract: An electrical circuit for transmitting an item of information relating to the state of a parameter or of a piece of equipment, in particular for application in the railway field. The circuit includes a device for regulating the current flowing through the switch, including a switch device for switching over connections and having an inductive energy storage device and a capacitive energy storage device which, under steady conditions, alternate between being a device for storing and a device for restoring a fraction of the energy of the electrical circuit depending on the alternating state of the connections, as defined by the switch device. The invention also provides an electrical system incorporating such a circuit.
