Patents by Inventor Markus BRODE

Markus BRODE 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: 9322687
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a magnetic-inductive flow meter having a measuring tube on which there is fitted a magnetic unit for generating a magnetic field, which is aligned substantially perpendicular to a flow direction of an electrically conductive measuring medium flowing through the measuring tube and whose measurement voltage induced in the measuring medium can be detected by at least two inserted measuring electrodes electrically insulated from the measuring tube. In order to avoid coupling interference voltages into the electrical electrodes, the first and the second electrode leads can be jointly twisted starting from the leadthrough as far as the first electrode, where the first electrode lead is electrically connected to the first electrode, and the second electrode is connected to a short-circuited conductor loop which encompasses the measuring tube and is connected to the second electrode lead at a location of the first electrode.

  • Publication number: 20150014409
    Abstract: An exemplary servicing system for a field device in an automation engineering installation. The servicing system is equipped with at least one sensor for converting a physical variable into an electrical variable and/or with at least one actuator for converting an electrical variable into a physical variable and also with a display device for presenting graphical characters. To dynamically provide a relatively high density of information, at least one subregion of the display device outputs a two-dimensional code, the content of which is alternatively made dynamic on the basis of the respective operating state of the field device and can be scanned by a mobile reader.
