Stephan LUX 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).

  • Device and method for wiring a battery management system
    Patent number: 10476297
    Abstract: A circuit system includes a battery management system, a first switch unit and a controller. In a first state, the first switch unit conductively connects a first energy source to the battery management system, and in a second state it interrupts the energy supply of the battery management system from the first energy source. The controller controls the first switch unit.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for determining a reference energy profile and device for forming a battery
    Patent number: 10393817
    Abstract: A method for determining a reference energy profile has comparing a first course and a second course. The first course describes an energy absorption of a first battery during a first charge cycle. The second course describes the energy absorption of the first or a second battery during a second charge cycle which follows after the first charge cycle. The comparison is performed for a plurality of time intervals. The method has determining a deviation between the first and the second course for each of the plurality of time intervals. In addition, the method has determining an amount of electrical energy based on the deviation for each of the time intervals, wherein the amount of electrical energy describes a preset default value of the reference energy profile for an amount of energy to be fed to a battery to be formed during a formation process of the battery to be formed for each of the time intervals.
