Edith Kirchner 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).

  • Double-layer capacitor, use of the same, and method for increasing the maximum charges of double-layer capacitor electrodes
    Patent number: 7440257
    Abstract: A double-layer capacitor includes a first electrode having a first polarity, a second electrode having a second polarity, the first polarity being different from the second polarity, and an electrolyte that is in contact with the first electrode and the second electrode. The first electrode has a first charge of the first polarity and the second electrode has a second charge of the second polarity, and maximum values of the first charge and the second charge are substantially equal.

  • Double-layer capacitor, use of the same, and method for increasing the maximum charges of double-layer capacitor electrodes
    Publication number: 20060098388
    Abstract: What is proposed is a double-layer capacitor with at least a first and a second electrode, wherein the maximum charges of the two electrodes are matched. In such a double-layer capacitor according to the invention, the amount of material used per maximum storable electric charge and energy is minimal.
