Latest Patent Applications
Reiner Ritter's latest patent application is titled "Device for Monitoring the Functionality of a Valve." This device includes a valve, a digital diagnostic module, and a programming device. The valve is equipped with a sensor actuator connected to a valve element for combined reciprocating motion. Additionally, it features a distance sensor that interacts with the sensor actuator to generate analog distance values, which characterize the lift positions of the valve element. The diagnostic module is designed to diagnose the switching states of the valve element based on these distance values. It includes an analog input connected to the distance sensor, a downstream A/D converter, and a serial communication interface connected to a digital input/output. This serial communication allows for the programming of threshold values for the digital distance values that define changes to the switching state, as well as the transmission of diagnosed switching states.
Conclusion
Reiner Ritter is an innovative inventor whose work in valve monitoring technology demonstrates his commitment to advancing the field. His latest patent application reflects his expertise and potential for future contributions.
