Title: Innovations by Christoph Zens in AC Power Failure Detection
Introduction
Christoph Zens is an accomplished inventor based in Marin, California. He has made significant contributions to the field of electrical engineering, particularly in the area of power failure detection. His innovative approach to detecting alternating current (AC) power failures has the potential to enhance the reliability of electrical systems.
Latest Patents
Zens holds a patent for a "Method and apparatus for early AC power failure detection." This invention provides a method for detecting AC power failures by amplifying an AC power waveform. The amplified waveform is asserted when the AC power waveform is near a zero-crossing and negated at all other times. A counter is initiated when the amplified waveform is asserted, and if the counter equals or exceeds a reference number, it indicates an AC power failure. This method allows for earlier detection of power failures compared to conventional methods, providing more time for power down operations.
