Patents by Inventor Samuel Quenzer-Hohmuth

Samuel Quenzer-Hohmuth 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).

  • Patent number: 11784656
    Abstract: A digital closed loop control system. An output signal is detected with the aid of an analog-to-digital converter. A correction value is subtracted from the output signal prior to the analog-to-digital conversion and this correction value is added up again after the analog-to-digital conversion. The correction value in this case may be dynamically adapted. In this way, the analog-to-digital converter may be operated in a narrow conversion range.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 10, 2023
    Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBH

  • Patent number: 10432089
    Abstract: A method for optimizing the operation of a digital controller provided in a control loop for a step-up converter. The method includes: evaluating at least one output variable of the digital controller during operation of the step-up converter; estimating the instantaneous load resistance value in the path of the control loop based on the at least one evaluated output variable; setting at least one controller coefficient of the digital controller based on the estimated instantaneous load resistance value during operation of the step-up converter. A change in the setting of the at least one controller coefficient results in a change in the transition frequency in the control loop. Furthermore, a control loop for a step-up converter that includes a digital controller is provided, which is configured to carry out the steps of the method. A computer program product that includes computer-executable program code for carrying out the method.
