Henrik Miller 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).

  • Conveyor and a method of providing a driving force to a conveyor
    Publication number: 20060011093
    Abstract: The invention relates to a conveyor (100) that has a number of carts (102) moving along a track (101). A propulsion system for the conveyor comprises a stationary stator (411) which has a coil assembly. In addition the carts (102) have a reaction element (200) comprising a plurality of permanent magnets (203) mounted on a ferromagnetic carrier plate (201) thereby providing a magnetic field. A controller (607) controls the a supply of electrical power to the coil assembly such that a magnetic field is generated which interacts with that of the permanent magnets to provide a driving force.

  • Sorter conveyor
    Patent number: 6938750
    Abstract: A sorter conveyor having cross-belts for supporting and discharging article is disclosed, wherein the cross-belts are driven by interaction between a rotor moving with the cross-belts and stationary electric stator parts, wherein the rotor is arranged separate from the cross-belt and is connected to a drive roller with a transmission. Further is disclosed such sorter conveyors having tilt-trays driven by interaction between rotors moving with the tilt-trays and stationary electric stator parts, as well as such sorter conveyors which are driven along the stationary track by means of stationary linear motor stator parts interacting with the reaction means. Lastly, rotors and the manufacture of such rotors are disclosed.
