Two-stage electronic control for starter motors
Priority 1997
Applicant: Robert Bosch GmbH
An integrated electronic relay first engages the starter pinion gently at reduced torque and only then switches to full torque. Two redundant power semiconductors, diagnostics, detection of failed engagement and temperature monitoring prevent faulty starts – reducing wear and noise and allowing lighter starters.

ESD protection for DC adjustment motors in vehicles
Priority 2006
Applicant: Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co. KG
Electrostatic discharges at the motor housing, e.g. of a window-lift motor, are safely diverted via a defined spark gap on an unpopulated protection PCB. Sensitive electronics are reliably protected with minimal component count and cost.

Speed signal from motor current – without a sensor
Priority 2008
Applicant: Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co. KG
A speed-proportional square-wave signal is derived from the current ripple of a DC adjustment drive. A tunable filter tracks its resonance frequency to the motor speed, so speed and position can be detected without an additional Hall sensor.

PWM control of field sprayer valves
Priority 2021
Applicant: IWN GmbH & Co. KG / Reinhold Schulte
Several electronically controlled spray valves are driven by pulse-width modulation with a defined phase offset to damp pressure pulsations in the line system. The application rate is adjusted via either the duty cycle or the PWM frequency, as required.
