Hans-Heinrich Winkel 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).

  • Semiconductor power component comprising a safety fuse
    Patent number: 6667532
    Abstract: The invention concerns a semiconductor power element (diode 18) having a lead (11) and a safety fuse (12) situated in the main current path that blows when overheated, particularly for use in the electrical system of motor vehicles. In order to achieve a previously determined, purposeful disconnection of the endangered element in order to avoid consequential damages when semiconductor power elements become overloaded, it is proposed that a segment (11b) of the lead (11) and/or its points of contact in the main current path of the semiconductor be designed as a safety fuse (12) that blows when a specified, current-dependent temperature value is reached.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 24, 2002
    Date of Patent: December 23, 2003
    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH

  • Coupling arrangement for transmitting a torque
    Publication number: 20020137569
    Abstract: A coupling arrangement for transmitting a torque is comprised of a drive shaft (1), a driven shaft (5), a damping element (16), which is associated with one of the shafts (1, 5) and is for compensating for an axial offset between the two shafts (1, 5), and a radial tensioning element (4), which is associated with the other shaft (1) and, with the damping element (16), is for introducing a definite force (K) that acts radially on the driven shaft (5).
