US Patent Issued to Bayerische Motoren Werke on May 12 for "Method and electronic device for monitoring the temperature of power electronics, and motor vehicle" (German Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,625,014, issued on May 12, was assigned to Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (Munich).

"Method and electronic device for monitoring the temperature of power electronics, and motor vehicle" was invented by Said El-Barbari (Freising, Germany).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method and an electronic device monitors the temperature of power electronics having at least one power transistor. In the method, during active operation of the power transistor, the drain-source voltage and the drain current of the transistor are measured and are used to calculate an on-state resistance. An instantaneous junction temperature of the power transistor is determ...
