Bjoern Herder, Stuttgart DE

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110121994Method For Detecting Objects Having a Low Height - A method for detecting objects having a low height, using a system for obstacle detection in vehicles, the system for obstacle detection including distance sensors for ascertaining the distance from objects and an arrangement for evaluation.05-26-2011

Justus Laurens Herder, Den Haag NL

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100320430Apparatus for Exercising a Force on a Load - An apparatus for exerting a force on a load, comprising at least a first spring system and a second spring system, which two spring systems are coupled with the load and produce forces that are applied to the load, wherein an adjusting device is provided coupled with the load, which is equipped with at least one coupling with which the first spring system and/or the second spring system are/is coupled, and which adjusting device is designed for moving the coupling subject to an adjustment of the load, wherein the first spring system has a linear spring characteristic and is coupled with the load, and wherein the second spring system is coupled with the coupling at a side of the coupling removed from the load, and wherein the coupling is designed for adjusting the second spring system subject to a predetermined spring characteristic of the second spring system such that, at the side of the load, the combination of the coupling with the second spring system possesses a force path diagram having a linear characteristic.12-23-2010

Justus Laurens Herder, Delft NL

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080210842BALANCING DEVICE - A balancing device for a mass, comprising an arm that is adjustable about a pivoting point and with which the mass is coupled, and an adjustable spring system that is coupled with the arm, which spring system comprises at least one spring, wherein the spring system comprises an adjusting mechanism that is connected with the at least one spring, which adjusting mechanism is designed for adjusting the at least one spring so as to aid balancing the mass that is coupled with the arm, wherein a predetermined energy content of the spring system remains substantially the same.09-04-2008

Laura M. Herder, West Henrietta, NY US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100152077Process for Solvent Shifting a Nanoparticle Dispersion - A process for replacing the continuous phase of a nanoparticle dispersion with a less polar phase, includes filtering the dispersion through a semi-permeable membrane filter to remove the continuous phase, and introducing a less polar phase.06-17-2010

Martin Herder, Rodgau DE

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100012120INHALATION DEVICE FOR DRUGS IN POWDER FORM - To provide an inhalation device which has improved use properties, particularly advanced moisture protection while in use, an inhalation device (01-21-2010

Robert D. Herder, Franklinville, NJ US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110248848Autoaccreting Database for EAS-RF Applications - A method for entering information regarding monitored items into a database in a security tag system includes reading barcode item information from a barcode associated with a monitored item, determining whether a tag is present with the monitored item to provide tag presence information, and storing the barcode item information and the tag presence information into the database. The barcode item information and the tag presence information are associated with each other in the database to provide item association information. A rule regarding whether a tag should be present when the barcode associated with the monitored item is read is determined in accordance with the item association information and the tag is deactivated in accordance with the rule. An alarm condition is raised in accordance with the rule. The alarm condition is raised if the tag is present and the rule indicates that the tag should not be present.10-13-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120081169Mixer Divider Layout - A symmetrical, balanced, down-conversion mixer is achieved by the coordinated layout of a balanced Local Oscillator (LO) divider circuit and a balanced Radio Frequency (RF) mixer circuit, such that the LO divider is in the center and the RF mixer is arrayed symmetrically around the LO divider. In particular, the LO divider is partitioned into four portions (e.g., Ip, In, Qp, Qn), which are placed in respective quadrants, defined by orthogonal reference axes through the LO divider center. The RF mixer is similarly partitioned into four corresponding portions, which are placed around the LO divider portions in each quadrant. By integrating the LO divider and RF mixer in the layout of the symmetric, balanced, down-conversion mixer, greater component matching and control of current paths are possible, improving operational quality parameters such as IRR, IP04-05-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100156596SECURE TRANSACTION CARD USING BIOMETRICAL VALIDATION - A validation scheme for use with a transaction card such as a calling card, et cetera, using personalized biometric profile data that is inherently coupled to the card owner/user. A configuration process is used for populating a profile database with sample voice or other biometric responses elicited from the owner/user in response to a plurality of questions relating to information uniquely linked to the user such as, e.g., name, age, hobbies, et cetera, or biometric responses such as fingerprints, retinal scans, and palm prints, or implanted ID chips. When a transaction is attempted using the transaction card, a determination is made if a voice profile validation is required for authentication. If so, a question from the plurality of questions used in the configuration process is randomly selected and directed to the user for a response. Access is provided only if a match between the response and corresponding sample is found. In a passive mode, the validation scheme may be utilized as an auxiliary fraud prevention scheme in addition to existing authentication systems.06-24-2010
