Title: Asko Juntunen: Innovator in Signaling and Power Distribution Systems
Introduction
Asko Juntunen is a notable inventor based in Oulu, Finland. He has made significant contributions to the fields of signaling methods and power distribution systems, holding a total of 10 patents. His innovative work has paved the way for advancements in network systems and vehicle technology.
Latest Patents
One of Juntunen's latest patents is a signaling method and signaling arrangement designed for network systems. This invention involves feeding a common analog read signal through a signaling channel to all nodal units, which are controlled by a central control unit. Each nodal unit modifies the read signal for identification purposes, and data indicating the state of each unit is added to the signal. The control unit then determines the state of each nodal unit based on the modifications made to the read signal.
Another significant invention by Juntunen is an intelligent fuse box for the power distribution system of a vehicle. This intelligent fuse box is designed for a vehicle's multiplex power distribution system and includes outputs for driving functional components and cable buses equipped with intelligent nodes. These nodes have outputs for driving actuators and include means for fuse functions between the outputs and the vehicle's power supply bus. The fuse functions are controlled by solid-state switches, and the system is managed by a microprocessor that executes a program stored in its memory. This invention not only provides traditional fuse functions but also offers auxiliary features such as rush current limiting and dynamic fuse functions.
