Patents by Inventor Jeffrey M. Bade

Jeffrey M. Bade 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: 5606510
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for rapidly and continuously sampling AC voltage and current signals in a power system. The sampled signals are then analyzed in a sine board computer to derive a number of fundamental electrical variables. These variables include frequency, RMS volts, RMS amps and a phase angular relationship between the voltage and currents in the system. The computer also performs calibration and compensation functions. From these fundamental variable, other useful parameters can be calculated such as watts, watt-hours, VARS, and power factor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 1994
    Date of Patent: February 25, 1997
    Assignee: The Dow Chemical Company
    Inventors: R. Steven Glaser, Jeffrey M. Bade
  • Patent number: 5151866
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for rapidly and continuously sampling AC voltage and current signals in a plurality of power distribution circuits. The sampled signals are then analyzed in a sine board computer to derive the number of fundamental electrical variables. These variables include frequency, RMS volts, RMS amps and a phase angular relationship between the voltage and currents in the system. The computer also performs calibration and compensation functions. From these fundamental variables, other useful parameters can be calculated such as watts, watt-hours, VARS, and power factor.
