Latest Patents

Bosstad’s patent, “Method for Controlling a Quantity of Water to Be Used for the Purpose of Obtaining a Quantity of Hot Liquid,” describes a beverage maker with a boiler that heats water and a normally open thermostat that senses its temperature. When the water exceeds the thermostat’s set point, the thermostat closes and starts a pumping action. Hot water flows out of the boiler as cold water enters. When the incoming cold water reaches the thermostat’s sensing member, the thermostat opens again and stops the pumping action. This mechanism helps control the quantity of hot water used to make a beverage.

Career Highlights

Bosstad’s listed patent focuses on regulating water volume through the interaction of a boiler, pump, and temperature-sensitive thermostat. The method uses the arrival of cooler water at the thermostat’s sensing member to determine when pumping should stop.

Collaborations

Bosstad is associated with Koninklijke Philips Corporation N.V. His listed coworkers include Thewis Minne Westra and Peng Chau Quah.

Conclusion

Pieter Berend Bosstad’s patented method uses temperature sensing to control the amount of hot water delivered by a beverage maker, reflecting his contribution to beverage-preparation technology.
