Keld Benner Valbjørn 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: 11933308
    Abstract: A pump assembly with a pump unit comprising an impeller for pumping fluid, an electric motor for driving the impeller, a control module for controlling the speed of the electric motor in a control mode, and an interface for receiving a pulse width modulated (PWM) control signal with a duty cycle indicative of the speed of the electric motor. The control module is configured to interpret the PWM control signal at start-up of the electric motor per default in a configuration mode as a configuration bit sequence based on the duty cycle of the PWM control signal during a pre-determined configuration window.

  • Publication number: 20100265336
    Abstract: The invention refers to a digital camera 1 which can be used in a motion sensor 4. In order to be able to test the function of the camera, a light source 3 is provided which irradiates at least a part of the sensing matrix 2. The processor device 5 of the camera judges whether the output signal of the sensing matrix 2 corresponds correctly to the light which has irradiated the sensing matrix 2. Various test methods are disclosed, such as using varying wavelengths, ON/OFF-modulation, dependence on shutter time and illumination of various regions of the sensing matrix 2.
