Stefan Trinkert 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: 10424944
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for automatically regulating an electric output which is dispensed by a secondary battery that has at least two battery cells, wherein the charge states of all the battery cells are repeatedly detected at time intervals, an average charge state (SOCaverage) is ascertained per battery cell from the detected charge states of the battery cells, a deviation of at least one charge state of a battery cell from the average charge state (SOCaverage) is detected, and the average charge state (SOCaverage) and the deviation are taken into consideration during the automatic and dynamic regulation of the electric output dispensed by the secondary battery.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH
    Inventors: Stefan Trinkert, Benjamin Mangold
  • Patent number: 10011185
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for battery management, wherein a magnitude of a current that can be provided by the battery within a prediction period is determined from an available magnitude of a status variable, which is predicted within the prediction period, wherein the predicted available magnitude of the status variable is determined by means of a difference between a permissible magnitude of the status variable, which is determined for a first reference period, and an obtained magnitude of the status variable, which is determined for the first reference period. The disclosure also relates to a computer program and a battery management system suitable for carrying out the method and to a motor vehicle having such a battery management system.
