MUMBAI, India, Sept. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517080053 A) filed by Knorr-Bremse Systeme Fur Schienenfahrzeuge Gmbh, Munchen, Germany, on Aug. 23, for 'brake system comprising energy supply system with a combination of energy storage device types for operating at least partially electrically operated friction brake controllers for rail vehicles.'

Inventor(s) include Rehberger, Sebastian.

The application for the patent was published on Sept. 12, under issue no. 37/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to a brake system (B) comprising an energy supply system (4) which has a first energy storage device (5) and a second energy storage device (6). The first energy storage device (5) is designed to output a defined energy quantity in order to maintain a safety brake function, thereby completely actuating a brake force unit within a first time window (t1). The second energy storage device (6) is designed to output an energy quantity over a second time window (t2), wherein the second time window (t2) is greater than the first time window (t2). The first energy storage device (5) has, as the design goal, an output per time unit which is as high as possible for the output request. The second energy storage device (6) has the goal of maintaining the availability of the safety brake function over an operating duration which is as long as possible in the event the external energy supply is interrupted even if no brake energy is present, or brake energy is to be provided only to a minimal extent in order to supply an electronic standby unit."

The patent application was internationally filed on Jan. 17, 2024, under International application No.PCT/EP2024/050947.
