Patent number: 11979033Abstract: A device and a method for detecting living objects for inductive charging devices, the inductive charging device having a resonator coil, which is configured to generate an electromagnetic field, and a plurality of living object sensors, which are configured to detect a living object. The method has steps for determining a critical magnetic field limit of the electromagnetic field by magnetic field limit sensors, the critical magnetic field limit being defined in that a magnetic field strength outside the critical magnetic field limit falls below a limit value; and for detecting a living object within the determined, critical magnetic field limit of the electromagnetic field by the living object sensors.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2019Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Vitesco Technologies GmbHInventors: Michael Kausche, Anselm Schwarte

Publication number: 20180171920Abstract: A piezo-driven fuel injector is modeled by measuring the actuation current and the actuation voltage of the piezo injector, transforming the actuation current and the actuation voltage into the frequency domain, forming a complex conductance from the actuation current transformed into the frequency domain and the actuation voltage transformed into the frequency domain, and determining one or more parameters of the piezo injector from the complex conductance. Once the complex conductance is determined it is used to detect a fault in the piezo injector.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2016Publication date: June 21, 2018Applicant: CONTINENTAL AUTOMOTIVE GMBHInventors: Tany Gargiso, Michael Kausche, Peter Matthias Ruße, Robert Hoffmann

Patent number: 6844039Abstract: The invention describes elastane packages on cylindrical tubes which are provided with a finishing oil content varying over the filament length, and a method for the production thereof. Instead of being applied uniformly along the filament, the finishing oil is distinctly increased on the outermost part, constituting in particular at least 3%, of the filament wound onto the tubes such that the oil coat in this region is at least 1.2 times higher than in the remaining region of the package. This gives rise to a finishing coat gradient of the package from the outside (high) inwards (low).Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2000Date of Patent: January 18, 2005Assignee: Bayer Faser GmbHInventors: Michael Kausch, Wolfgang Klein, Christine Soenksen

Patent number: 5032664Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of highly concentrated and, surprisingly, viscosity-stable solutions of segmented polyurethane urea elastomers in highly polar solvents, such as dimethyl formamide and dimethyl acetamide, having little or no tendency to turn to paste, characterized by the use of certain primary and secondary cycloaliphatic monoamines or cycloaliphatic monisocyanates as chain-extending agents/blocking agents in the reaction of NCO prepolymers based on relatively high molecular weight dihydroxy compounds and (preferably aromatic) diisocyanates with aliphatic and and/or cycloaliphatic diamine chain-extending agents. The chain terminators according to the invention also show unexpected iprovements in the color of the elastomer solution and also in the stability of the end products, preferably filaments, to light and noxious gases.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 1990Date of Patent: July 16, 1991Assignee: Bayer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Beatrix Frauendorf, Michael Kausch, Rolf-Volker Meyer
