ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,719,300, issued on Aug. 25, was assigned to Tyco Fire & Security GmbH (Neuhausen am Rheinfall, Switzerland).

"Systems for and methods of super capacitor charging" was invented by Julianne Frances Haugh (Milwaukee) and Krista Rene Dorner (Milwaukee).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A system for and of charging a capacitor can be used in a failsafe device. A voltage level is sensed at the capacitor, and a current is provided to the capacitor until a threshold voltage level is reached. The threshold voltage level is above a target voltage. The target voltage is a voltage level associated with enough energy being stored for a failsafe operation...
