Jens Weiss 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: 11431272
    Abstract: An energy recovery circuitry for an electric motor with a single phase winding, consisting of two coil sections with central connection, whereby the two coil ends of the coil sections are each connected to ground via a switching element. The task of the invention is therefore, for an electric motor of this type, to ensure, a significantly higher efficiency, a better and defined switching of the coil switching elements, a thermal relief for the switching elements, improved and smoother running, reduced warming of the printed circuit board, improved EMC characteristics, a more robust design of the overall switching, a focused conduction of the losses and an extra protection against any surge impulses from a mains network.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10931161
    Abstract: A centrifugal pump motor comprising a permanent magnet rotor, a wound stator that is separated from the permanent magnet rotor by means of a containment shell, a circuit board having a large electronic component electrically connected to it, and a motor housing with a plug connection. The centrifugal pump motor provides a robust design for a generic centrifugal pump motor, so as to prevent damage during installation and operation, as well as additionally ensuring a space-saving and compact arrangement of the electronic components, in order to enable optimal heat dissipation of the electronic components. Furthermore, a simple way of manufacturing is provided.
