Patents by Inventor Robert Koven

Robert Koven 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).

  • Vibration energy harvesting using a base mounted piezoelectric transducer
    Patent number: 11271497
    Abstract: An energy harvester apparatus, system and method. A cantilevered beam resonator includes a cantilever beam and a base defined by the ends of the cantilever beam. The cantilevered beam resonator further includes a piezoelectric transducer composed of one or more piezoelectric components. The piezoelectric transducer is generally mounted beneath the base of the cantilevered beam resonator. In some example embodiments, the piezoelectric component can be configured in a split electrode configuration composed of a single split arrangement or more than one split (e.g., two splits, three splits, four splits, and so on).
