Patents by Inventor Ingo Mueller-Vogt

Ingo Mueller-Vogt 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: 9532460
    Abstract: A transmission control module includes a printed circuit board. The circuit board has conductor tracks routed on at least one layer of the circuit board and configured to electrically connect a carrier substrate to electrical components. The circuit board has an inner conductor track layer arranged between two insulating layers. A first outer insulating layer, at least on a first side of the circuit board, has a recess. Surfaces of conductor track sections of conductor tracks of the at least one inner conductor track layer are arranged at the bottom of the recess. The carrier substrate is inserted into the recess and makes electrical contact with the surfaces of the conductor track sections. The recess is filled with a moulding compound which covers at least the carrier substrate and the conductor track sections to protect the carrier substrate and the conductor track sections from transmission fluid.

  • Patent number: 7206180
    Abstract: A method for regulating the current through an electromagnetic actuator. The actuator, a first switch and a current-measuring circuit form a series circuit. A free-wheeling diode is parallel-connected to the actuator. The first switch is closed and opened by a control and a pulse generator using a PWM signal (PWM=pulse width modulation) in such a way that the current flowing through the actuator and measured by the current-measuring circuit is regulated to a setpoint value (SW). The time duration of one on and off switching cycle of the PWM signal is altered, and a so-called dither function in the form of a low-frequency oscillation is superimposed on the PWM signal.
