Latest Patents
Altmann's latest patents include a "Method and device for monitoring a power supply device of a traffic system." This invention involves creating a computer-based model of the power supply apparatus using predetermined parameters relevant to its operation. The goal is to adapt to the evolving requirements of contemporary power supply devices. The method determines current characteristic quantities during the operation of the traffic system and simulates the operation of the power supply device based on the model and these quantities.
Another significant patent is the "Method for identifying risks as a result of stray currents." This method identifies risks from stray currents that flow to the ground from a rail returning traction current in a DC-powered track. The first embodiment measures the voltage between the rail and ground, indicating an increased risk if there is a discrepancy from a reference value. The second embodiment involves activating a short-circuiter to connect a parallel path to the rail for returning traction current, measuring the current level in this path to assess risk.
