Title: Jack Nunes and Machine-Safety Sensing Technology.

Introduction

Jack Nunes is an inventor associated with Federal-Mogul World Wide, Inc. His patent work addresses machine safety by detecting human tissue in a protected area and enabling a machine to shut down when a potential hazard is identified. The provided location is Gilbraltor, Michigan, United States.

Latest Patents

Nunes is credited with 1 patent: “Sensor Assembly and Sensing System for Sensing Human Tissue in a Protected Area of a Machine.” The invention uses an emitter plate and multiple sensor plates arranged in the same plane near a machine’s protected area. An electric field is directed toward that area, and the sensor plates generate electrical signals based on the field they receive. Those signals are amplified, measured, and analyzed to determine whether human tissue is present. If the system detects human tissue, a machine interface circuit shuts down the machine to help prevent injury.

Career Highlights

Nunes’s listed patent reflects an engineering focus on integrating sensing technology with machine controls. By connecting detection to an automatic shutdown response, the system is designed to help protect people working near machinery.

Collaborations

Nunes’s listed coworkers include Robert E. Martinez and Todd Hegert Goyen. The available information identifies them as coworkers but does not specify their roles in the patent or the invention.

Conclusion

Jack Nunes’s patent describes a sensing system that detects human tissue in a machine’s protected area and triggers a shutdown response, highlighting the role of invention in industrial safety.
