Arno Kefenbaum 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: 12212041
    Abstract: A plug-in electronic expansion module for pump electronics of a centrifugal pump for expanding the pump electronics with at least one additional function has a housing having a lower face and connecting formations thereon for attachment to a pump housing of the pump electronics. Electronics in the module housing provide the additional function. A base is provided on the lower face, and an electrical interface connected to the pump electronics includes a flat support projecting tongue-like from the base on the lower face of the module housing through an opening in the pump housing and carrying contact-forming electrical traces.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 2021
    Date of Patent: January 28, 2025
    Assignee: WILO SE
    Inventors: Stephan Karns, Markus Brockmann, Daniel Bencak, Arno Kefenbaum, Timo Starkmuth, Herve Bouilly, Franck Terrien, Dirk Nowak, Peter Kleine-Rumberg

  • Patent number: 6895229
    Abstract: The invention relates to a receiver arrangement for receiving frequency-modulated radio signals, having a demodulator circuit arrangement (18), which converts and intermediate-frequency signal into a voltage signal, which is applied to an input stage (22) of a signal-processing circuit arrangement (23), and having a clock-signal oscillator (26), which supplies a clock signal for generating a frequency signal for reducing the frequency of a received signal to the intermediate frequency, and relates to a method of adapting a receiving branch of the receiver arrangement to an input stage (22) of a signal-processing circuit arrangement (23) and a self-testing method. To allow the adaptation of the demodulator circuit arrangement to the downstream input stage of a signal-processing circuit arrangement to be carried out without external test signals, a test-signal generator stage (28) is provided, which forms a test signal with a known frequency from the clock signal supplied by the clock-signal oscillator (26).
