Andreas Josef Birnesser 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: 9067275
    Abstract: A welding device has a beam source to generate electromagnetic beams for absorption in an object to be welded at a welding location, and at least one sensor situated to detect electromagnetic process beams generated during welding at the welding location. The sensor is to generate a sensor signal as a function of the detected process beams. The welding device also has a processing unit, which is connected to the sensor and the beam source, the processing unit being configured to control at least one parameter of the beam generation of the beam source as a function of the sensor signal. The welding device is to delimit by a window a beam bundle of the emitted process beams in a plane transverse to the beam propagation direction; in the plane, the window has a longitudinal dimension greater than a transversal dimension of the window perpendicular to the longitudinal dimension.

  • Publication number: 20120175353
    Abstract: A welding system is described as having an energy source, in particular a laser beam source, for implementing a heat transfer for welding a first component to at least one second component in a connection area and having a sensor for detecting the processing radiation of the welding procedure. The sensor includes a measuring probe. Also described is a welding method.

  • Publication number: 20080204212
    Abstract: In a method and a device for driver support, a directional indicator, e.g., the blinker of the vehicle, is actuated when there is a recognized lane change and a lane-change intention is present.
