Patents by Inventor Volker Klanke

Volker Klanke 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: 11191179
    Abstract: The ground connection between the circuit card and the housing and the housing connection side is implemented by at least one plug-in connection of variable insertion depth. This design is particularly advantageous for producing corresponding devices in an automated manner because, owing to the assembly of the devices, the contact-connection of the circuit card to ground also takes place automatically, specifically as desired in the advantageous form of meshed grounding with simultaneous compensation of the housing tolerances which is made possible by the plug-in connection of variable insertion depth.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 5, 2017
    Date of Patent: November 30, 2021

  • Patent number: 9385534
    Abstract: A power network having special junction boxes and an associated method for operation and evaluation which makes it possible, after construction and wiring, to recognise and to simulate the topology of the power distribution automatically is provided. On this basis the current consumption can then be determined in certain branches, for example also in a tree or ring network structure. In particular, deviations from the desired value, for example a disproportionately high current consumption, can be recognised and localised, so that as a consequence certain load and/or entire power network segments can be switched on and off. For analysis, the corresponding values of relevant electrical variables can be continuously observed, stored in a database, held for any period of time and displayed graphically. Connection errors, wire breakage and overload and undervoltage can be recognised and eliminated by analysing the values of the respective electrical variables.
