Latest Patents

Keranen is named on one patent, titled “Passive Device Monitor.” The invention describes a motor system in which rotor motion responds to changes in magnetic flux from stator elements. Coils or pickups generate electromagnetic signals from the rotor’s motion, changes in magnetic flux, or both. A controller uses those signals to power a processor and memory, while the processor determines and stores counts of motor cycles or direction changes.

Career Highlights

Keranen’s listed patent contribution focuses on monitoring motor operation without relying solely on an external power source for the monitoring electronics. The system converts signals associated with motor activity into power for processing and storing operational counts. His patent record includes 1 patent.

Collaborations

Keranen’s listed coworkers include Steven Besser and Tyler Anderson. The patent information provided identifies Tolomatic, Inc. as his company affiliation.

Conclusion

Luke Keranen’s “Passive Device Monitor” patent describes a practical approach to powering motor-monitoring electronics and recording motor activity, reflecting his contribution to innovation in motor systems.
