Title: Paul E. Berna and Real-Time Belt Tension Sensing
Introduction
Paul E. Berna is an inventor associated with Allendale, Michigan, and Dematic GmbH. His patent work addresses the monitoring of belt tension in conveyance and drive systems.
Latest Patents
Berna is named on one patent, Real-Time Belt Tension Sensing System. The invention uses an engagement assembly that remains in substantially continuous contact with a moving belt. As the belt travels in its drive direction, it moves the assembly in a perpendicular slack direction. A tension sensor detects the assembly’s position and sends a signal to a controller, which interprets that signal to determine belt tension. This approach enables real-time tension measurement.
Career Highlights
Berna’s listed patent reflects work on sensing and control technology for belt-driven systems. His association with Dematic GmbH connects his invention to the field of conveyance and material-handling systems.
Collaborations
Michael Reed and Daniel Houchin are identified as Berna’s coworkers. The available information does not specify their roles in the patent or whether they collaborated on the invention.
Conclusion
Paul E. Berna’s patent presents a method for measuring belt tension in real time by translating belt movement into a sensor signal that a controller can interpret.
