Andreas Melin 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: 11872904
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method performed by a control unit (115) for handling charging in an at least partly electric vehicle (100). The control unit (115) transmits, to a charger (103), a request to provide power to at least one auxiliary load (108) and to charge a battery (101) with an amount of voltage. The amount of voltage corresponds to a desired SOC level. The charging of the battery (101) automatically stops when the desired SOC level is reached. The charger (103) continues to provide power to the at least one auxiliary load (108) when the desired SOC level is reached.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 16, 2021
    Date of Patent: January 16, 2024
    Assignee: VOLVO TRUCK CORPORATION

  • Patent number: 11000256
    Abstract: Systems and methods for operating an imaging system to perform Cephalometric imaging. The imaging system includes a column, an upper shelf pivotably coupled to the column, a rotating part coupled to the upper shelf and linearly translatable along a length of the upper shelf in a direction radial to the column, a first x-ray source coupled to the rotating part, and an x-ray detector coupled to the rotating part on an opposite side of a first imaging volume from the first x-ray source. A center position of the Cephalometric patient support is determined relative to the imaging system in at least two dimensions by scanning the imaging volume while adjusting a pivot angle of the upper shelf and by scanning the imaging volume while adjusting a linear position of the rotating part along the upper shelf.

  • Patent number: 8861679
    Abstract: X-ray imaging systems and methods utilize an imaging apparatus comprising an emitter emitting X-rays through an object and a receiver receiving the X-rays. A control circuit controls the emitter and processes the X-rays received by the receiver to generate X-ray images of the object. The control circuit controls a display to display an initial view of the object, the display of the initial view being modifiable by a user; controls the imaging apparatus to generate an X-ray positioning image of the object based upon a user modification of the display of the initial view; controls the display to display the positioning image, the display of the positioning image being modifiable by a user; and controls the imaging apparatus to generate an X-ray image of the object based upon a user modification of the display of the positioning image.
