Title: The Innovative Contributions of Gerard Vilou

Introduction

Gerard Vilou is a notable inventor based in Tassin, France, recognized for his significant contributions to automotive technology. With a total of 14 patents to his name, Vilou has made strides in enhancing the functionality and efficiency of vehicle starter systems. His work reflects a deep understanding of electrical engineering and automotive mechanics.

Latest Patents

Among his latest patents, Vilou has developed a "Method and device for controlling energization of the coil of a motor vehicle starter contactor." This innovative method involves energizing the coil in a pick-up mode to close the contactor, followed by a latching mode to maintain the contactor's closed state. The system measures the voltage corresponding to the electric motor's supply voltage and detects a drop in this voltage when the contactor closes. After a predetermined time-delay from this detection, the coil is energized in latching mode. Another significant patent is the "Controller for a vehicle starter motor," which includes a mechanism for applying power to the starter motor based on the state of a starter switch. This controller utilizes an RC type circuit with a charging time constant shorter than its discharging time constant, ensuring efficient operation of the starter motor.

Career Highlights

Throughout his career, Gerard Vilou has worked with prominent companies in the automotive sector, including Valeo Equipements Electriques Moteur. His experience in these organizations has
