Title: Matthias Heberle and Fuel-System Innovation.

Introduction

Matthias Heberle is an inventor associated with Stuttgart, Germany, and Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche Aktiengesellschaft. His patent work addresses a measurement method for evaluating the buffer effect of an activated carbon filter in a fuel-container tank-venting system.

Latest Patents

The provided information lists one patent for Heberle: “Method for Determining a Buffer Effect of an Activated Carbon Filter.” The method feeds a defined quantity of hydrocarbon molecules to the filter through its tank connection, while a carrier-gas flow enters through the air connection. A hydrocarbon measuring device draws a defined volumetric flow from the filter through its engine connection and measures the hydrocarbon content. The hydrocarbon feed system supplies the defined quantity as a thermodynamically isolated gas quantity. This approach provides a controlled way to assess the filter’s ability to buffer hydrocarbons.

Career Highlights

Heberle’s listed patent connects his work with automotive fuel-system technology and emissions-related engineering. The invention focuses on a defined testing procedure for an activated carbon filter used in tank ventilation.

Collaborations

The supplied information identifies Arne Burger and Andreas Menke as Heberle’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the patent or describe particular collaborative contributions.

Conclusion

Matthias Heberle’s listed invention presents a controlled method for measuring the hydrocarbon-buffering performance of an activated carbon filter, reflecting his association with automotive engineering at Porsche.
