Patents by Inventor Rene Chuat

Rene Chuat 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).

  • Publication number: 20120003411
    Abstract: The invention is a device to establish a joint connection (17) with a sleeve (12) comprising a multiple loops wire coil (3). The multiple loops wire coil (3) forms the joint connection by inducing current in at least one susceptor (13, 14) to melt a portion of the sleeve.

  • Patent number: 4939449
    Abstract: An electric current sensing device for measuring a primary current of relatively high intensity. The device includes a magnetic circuit that is coupled with a primary conductor and with a measuring coil that is connected to a current source through an associated control circuit. The magnetic circuit includes an air gap which accommodates a magnetic field detector that is electrically connected to an input of the control circuit for controlling a magnetic field compensating current that is supplied to the measuring coil. The device also includes a printed circuit that is arranged to both minimize electromagnetic interference between the measuring current circuit and the control circuit input, and improves heat dissipation of the printed circuit, thus optimizing the size ratio of the maximum primary current to the bulk of the device and improving performance of the same.
