Title: Kazuhiro Kimoto and Electric-Wire Protection
Introduction
Kazuhiro Kimoto is an inventor associated with Yokkaichi, Japan, and Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Limited. His recorded patent focuses on protecting electric wires from excessive heat by interrupting power when a calculated wire temperature reaches a predetermined threshold.
Latest Patents
Kimoto is credited with 1 patent: “Electric-Wire Protection Device.” The invention includes switching means to control power conduction, current-measuring means, and a temperature sensor that detects the surrounding environment. It calculates the wire’s temperature using the measured current and environmental temperature, then stops power conduction if the wire reaches the specified temperature limit. The device also measures current flowing to a nearby component, estimates the resulting thermal influence on the temperature sensor, and corrects the environmental temperature reading accordingly.
Career Highlights
Kimoto’s recorded invention addresses a practical electrical safety challenge: estimating wire temperature accurately despite heat from nearby components. The patent’s temperature-correction approach is designed to support reliable protection against overheating.
Collaborations
Kimoto is associated with Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Limited. His listed coworkers include Hidemasa Yoshida and Takaki Ito.
Conclusion
Kazuhiro Kimoto’s patent presents an electric-wire protection device that combines current measurement, temperature estimation, and correction for nearby heat sources to help prevent overheating.
