Andy Friedl 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).

  • Fluid generator system
    Patent number: 10256698
    Abstract: The present invention is a fluid power generator with elastic tension gradient strips that move in a serpentine fashion to generate power from fluid flow. Each strip has a tension gradient that decreases going back. This allows steady serpentine movement of the strip to move a coil generator across multiple magnets to generate power. Tensioning tubes keep the strips under tension and attach the strips to a strip support that also supports a magnet holder. The magnet holder keeps the magnets in position within the coil generators so that any serpentine movement of the strip can generate power.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and arrangement for electronic recording of rolled fingerprints
    Patent number: 7613334
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for the optoelectronic recording of a moving object, particularly for recording a finger that is rolled on a support surface. It is the object of the invention to find a novel possibility for electronic recording of rolled fingerprints which enables high-resolution individual images with a high image rate for joining the individual images without gaps to form a total image by means of simple sensors.
