Patent number: 10518643Abstract: A motor vehicle supply network, in particular a 48V on-board power supply of a motor vehicle, contains a current source, a power distributor connected to the current source via a supply current path, and at least one load connected to the power distributor via a load current path with an integrated semiconductor switch. A current-measuring unit, a voltage-measuring unit and a monitoring unit are integrated into the power distributor. The monitoring unit is configured in such a way that same detects an imminent fault based on the measurement data of the current-measuring unit and/or the measurement data of the voltage-measuring unit, and in such a way that same initiates a switching-off of the at least one load using the semiconductor switch. Both imminent over-current faults and imminent arc faults are detected as an imminent fault.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2017Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: LEONI Bordnetz-Systeme GmbHInventors: Matthias Ebert, Markus Rau

Patent number: 8199449Abstract: A monitoring device for protecting against contact or access to a hybrid vehicle having a plurality of high-voltage components and an electronic control unit connected to a low-voltage vehicle electrical system battery. Power actuators for actuating at least one electric machine are connected to a high-voltage battery by way of a power switch. The high-voltage components are monitored by way of a looped circuit and deactivated if the looped circuit is broken. A sensor that is sensitive to magnetic field changes is disposed in or at a removable contact connection of the electric machine or the electronic control unit. The sensor is connected to the looped circuit. A control component of the electronic control unit activates a discharge unit for discharging an energy storage device upon receiving a sensor signal generated by the sensor when the contact connection is broken.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2010Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignees: Leoni Bordnetz-Systeme GmbH, Continental Automotive GmbHInventors: Christian Kuschnarew, Volker Hartmann, Volker Albert, Matthias Ebert

Patent number: 8058881Abstract: In order to make it possible to detect a fault location, safely, reliably and with a high response sensitivity, in a braided wire which has a plurality of individual wires, an electric current is passed through the braided wire and the magnetic field which is formed as a result of the braided wire through which current flows is detected by a sensor and is evaluated. A fault location is deduced if the measured magnetic field has an oscillation whose length is a multiple of a lay length of the braided wire, and in particular corresponds to the lay length. The method is also used in particular for non-destructive testing of the quality of a contact connection of a contact element to the braided wire.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2009Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Assignee: LEONI Bordnetz-Systeme GmbHInventors: Jürgen Engbring, Matthias Ebert, Johann Hinken

Patent number: 7993852Abstract: Herein disclosed are methods that are prognostic for neoplastic/preneoplastic disease in a subject vertebrate, wherein said disease is associated with a tissue that normally expresses MN, but which MN expression is lost or diminished upon carcinogenesis. Exemplary of the types of preneoplastic/neoplastic diseases subject to the prognostic methods of this invention are those of gastric mucosa, gallbladder, biliary ducts, and ductal cells of duodenal glands. An exemplary prognostic method comprises comparing the level of MN gene expression product in a tissue sample from the affected subject, with the average MN gene expression product level found in analogous preneoplastic/neoplastic tissue samples; an above average MN gene expression product level indicates poorer prognosis for the subject. MN gene expression products useful in the prognostic methods include MN protein, MN polypeptide, and/or MN nucleic acids.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2010Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignee: Institute of Virology of the Slovak Academy of SciencesInventors: Matthias Ebert, Christoph Röcken, Silvia Pastorekova, Jan Zavada, Jaromir Pastorek
