Patents by Inventor Mario Barone

Mario Barone 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: 7310574
    Abstract: An architecture of an ignition and/or injection managing system for an internal combustion engine, of the type structured to cooperate with an electronic engine control unit. Also included is an electronic device architecture for determining the operating phase of an internal combustion motor, based on an input signal issued from a sensor of a phonic wheel associated with the motor camshaft, so as to release the electronic motor control unit from monitoring the phonic wheel signal, in order to lighten its computational load, and to enable the processing of the signal issuing from a variety of the phonic wheels. The device has the task of calculating the angular position of the drive shaft by analyzing the signal transmitted by the tone wheel of the drive shaft. A module is provided that is capable of emitting an interrupt signal toward the control unit on the basis of received signals.

  • Patent number: 5197689
    Abstract: A spool for winding filiform elements and the like, comprised by two parallel rings joined by means of a plurality of U-shaped braces, including diametrally opposed accessory elements fixed at least to some of said braces and which, in turn, support a central nucleus allowing rotation of the spool.
