Patents by Inventor Jörg BLANKE

Jörg BLANKE 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: 11289895
    Abstract: A protective device includes a first fuse circuit, an overvoltage protection circuit, and a second fuse circuit. The first fuse circuit interrupts a flow of a line current from a voltage terminal to the electrical load when an intensity of the line current reaches a first current intensity limit value. The overvoltage protection circuit electrically connects poles of the voltage terminal when a first voltage limit value of a voltage is reached on the first fuse circuit to force the line current to reach the first current intensity limit value. The second fuse circuit activates the overvoltage protection circuit when a second voltage limit value of a voltage on the second fuse circuit is reached to electrically connect the poles of the voltage terminal. The second voltage limit value is based at least in part on a nominal voltage of the electrical load.

  • Patent number: 9174242
    Abstract: A zig-zag classifier for separating material to be separated, for example, plastic flakes, including two zig-zag-shaped plates which are arranged oppositely vertical to each other such that a channel is formed between them, where a central vertically disposed zig-zag-shaped separation plate between the two zig-zag-shaped plates is arranged such that the channel is divided into two parallel classifier channels having substantially the same width. Also, a method for separating material to be separated, for example, plastic flakes, using the zig-zag classifier disclosed herein.

  • Publication number: 20110043319
    Abstract: A pulse transformer having a primary core (1) with a primary winding (2), a first secondary core (3) with a first secondary winding (4) and a second secondary core (5) with a second secondary winding (6), wherein the primary core (1), the first secondary core (3) and the second secondary core (5) are connected to each other by way of a squirrel-cage winding (7). In accordance with the invention, a transformer current converter is cited that, as a doubler, provides an input signal at two outputs in such a manner that—with an equal number of turns on the first secondary winding (4) and the second secondary winding (6)—the same signal is available at both outputs.
