Title: Innovations by Bernard J Busovne, Jr.
Introduction
Bernard J Busovne, Jr. is an accomplished inventor based in Davison, MI (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of automotive technology, particularly in the development of brake lining wear sensors. His innovative approach has led to the creation of a patented device that enhances vehicle safety.
Latest Patents
Bernard holds a patent for "Resistive ceramic bushings for brake lining wear sensor." This invention features a metal contact secured to a grounded brake lining support plate through a semiconductive ceramic bushing containing silicon carbide and silicon nitride. The design establishes an electrical resistance between the contact and the support plate, allowing the sensor to detect the wear of brake linings effectively. When the brake lining is worn, the contact touches a grounded brake rotor or drum, resulting in a short to ground. This mechanism is coupled by a lead wire to an indicator circuit that senses the resistance value, determining the condition of the brake lining. An indicator lamp, comprising a tri-color LED, emits different colors to signify normal conditions, an open circuit, or a worn brake lining condition.
