Latest Patents

Frank is credited with 1 patent. His patent, “Function-adapted three-dimensional foam structure,” describes a foam structure for a vehicle seat. Its first set of structural planes is designed to maintain constant compressive strength in the x and y directions, while a second set allows length variation in the perpendicular z direction. The arrangement is intended to preserve compressive strength in the first two directions regardless of expansion along the third.

Career Highlights

Frank’s listed patent reflects work on adapting three-dimensional foam structures to vehicle-seat requirements. The invention addresses how a seat material can accommodate directional expansion while retaining consistent support characteristics.
