Andreas Broesse 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: 8324754
    Abstract: A system is provided for supplying voltage to electrical loads in the onboard electrical system of a motor vehicle, in which system the onboard electrical system includes at least two onboard electrical system regions. The first onboard electrical system region has an electric generator, a vehicle battery, and one or more first electrical loads, and the second onboard electrical system region has a double-layer capacitor or a so-called supercap, and one or more second electrical loads. A blocking apparatus, in particular a semiconductor diode or a circuit breaker, is provided between the two onboard electrical system regions. The blocking apparatus permits current to flow from the first onboard electrical system region to the second onboard electrical system region and largely prevents current from flowing in reverse from the second onboard electrical system region to the first onboard electrical system region.

  • Patent number: 8026630
    Abstract: A system and method for supplying voltage to electrical loads in the onboard electrical system of a motor vehicle are provided. The onboard electrical system consists of at least two onboard electrical system regions. The first onboard electrical system region has an electric generator, a vehicle battery, as well as one or more first electrical loads. The second onboard electrical system region has a double-layer capacitor or a so-called supercap and one or more second electrical loads. Between the two onboard electrical system regions, a blocking device is provided, in particular, a semiconductor diode or a power switch, which permits a current flow from the first onboard electrical system region into the second electrical system region and largely prevents a reverse current flow from the second onboard electrical system region into the first onboard electrical system region.
