Title: Klaus Sassen: Innovator in Piezoelectric Technology
Introduction
Klaus Sassen is a notable inventor based in Marbach/N, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of piezoelectric technology, holding a total of 4 patents. His work primarily focuses on improving the performance and efficiency of internal combustion engines through innovative actuator designs.
Latest Patents
One of Klaus Sassen's latest patents is a piezoelectric actuator and injector for an internal combustion engine. This invention proposes an actuator and injector design that significantly enhances electromagnetic compatibility compared to conventional injectors. The actuator head and/or actuator foot is made from ceramic material, which reduces the capacitance of the electric capacitor formed between the electrical ground and the piezoelectric actuator. This design eliminates the need for additional components and increases the rigidity of the actuator, as ceramic materials possess a higher modulus of elasticity than metals.
Another significant patent by Sassen is a method and device for controlling an internal combustion engine. This invention involves at least one first partial injection and one second partial injection per injection cycle. The method allows for the shifting of one of the two partial injections in response to specific operating conditions. A correction value for a variable characterizing the delivery period is determined based on the shift of the partial injection.
