Robert R. Freimuth, II 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).

  • Temperature sensor
    Patent number: 7785004
    Abstract: A temperature sensing device is mounted to a structure of a building and senses temperature within a building space of the building. The temperature sensing device includes a housing. The housing includes a front surface that faces the building space when the temperature sensing device is mounted to the structure. The housing further includes a protrusion that protrudes from the front surface into the building space. The temperature sensing device further includes a mounting device within the housing and a temperature sensor mounted to the mounting device, the mounting device holding the temperature sensor within the protrusion.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 20, 2008
    Date of Patent: August 31, 2010
    Assignee: Johnson Controls Technology Company

  • Temperature sensing device
    Patent number: 7395173
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a temperature sensing device with a first temperature sensor mounted to a housing at a first location proximate a first surface of the housing. The first temperature sensor senses a first temperature while a second temperature sensor senses a second temperature. A processor circuit is coupled to the first and second temperature sensors and a mounting device is coupled to either the housing or the processor circuit. The mounting device mounts the second temperature sensor at a second location proximate a second surface of the housing which is spaced apart from the first surface. The processor circuit is configured to estimate a third temperature based on the first and second temperatures and a distance between the first and second locations which is an estimate of a temperature at a third location.
