Patents by Inventor Eva-Maria Latarnik

Eva-Maria Latarnik 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: 6909949
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting the pressure loss in the tires of a motor vehicle by evaluating the wheel speeds. The pressure evaluating method comprises two or more partial methods Prog A, Prog B, Prog S, Prog V, which each per se represents an independent functional method for measuring the pressure of a motor vehicle tire. The steps of these partial methods are carried out in parallel or quasi parallel. The invention further relates to a device for controlling the braking force and/or dynamics of vehicle movement and for measuring the pressure of vehicle tires. A microprocessor that is linked with the wheel speed sensors and optionally with additional sensors for the dynamics of vehicle movement processes the partial methods described above as well as a method known per se for controlling the braking force and/or dynamics of vehicle movement.

  • Patent number: 6901789
    Abstract: A method for determining parameters for the viscosity or temperature of a brake fluid of a vehicle by way of a predetermined pressure build-up within time limits in at least one defined section of a brake circuit and for detecting a pressure in the said section and/or a time which is required for the build-up of the said pressure.

  • Publication number: 20030052774
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting a drop in pressure of a motor vehicle tire by evaluating wheel speeds determined by sensors. The method for detecting the drop in pressure is based on the detection of a large drop in pressure or a complete drop in pressure using a reduction of the angular velocity or an increase (8) in the dynamic read radius rd of one or more wheels. The invention also relates to a device for controlling the braking power and/or driving dynamics and for measuring the pressure of vehicle tires wherein a microcomputer, which is connected to wheel rotational speed sensors and optionally to driving dynamic sensors, is used to perform the aforementioned method and a known method for regulating the braking power and/or driving dynamics.
