Patents by Inventor Damjan Puljic

Damjan Puljic has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11987097
    Abstract: A system includes a heat-generating component, a heat-absorbing component, a liquid coolant reservoir for receiving and distributing a liquid coolant, a first liquid loop, and a second liquid loop. The first liquid loop is connected to the liquid coolant reservoir and includes a first valve to control recirculation or return of the liquid coolant to the liquid coolant reservoir. The second liquid loop is connected to the liquid coolant reservoir and includes a second valve downstream from the second functional component to control recirculation or return of the liquid coolant to the liquid coolant reservoir.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 19, 2023
    Date of Patent: May 21, 2024
    Assignee: APPLE INC.
    Inventors: Vincent G. Johnston, Damjan Puljic, Kegan J. Connick, Anup M. Vader
  • Patent number: 11752836
    Abstract: A thermal system includes a heat-generating component, a heat-absorbing component, a liquid coolant reservoir for receiving and distributing a liquid coolant, a first liquid loop that is connected to the liquid coolant reservoir, includes a first pump upstream from a first functional component to circulate the liquid coolant, is heated by the heat-generating component, and includes a first valve downstream from the first functional component to control recirculation or return of the liquid coolant to the liquid coolant reservoir, and a second liquid loop that is connected to the liquid coolant reservoir, includes a second pump upstream from a second functional component to circulate the liquid coolant, is cooled by the heat-absorbing component, and includes a second valve downstream from the second functional component to control recirculation or return of the liquid coolant to the liquid coolant reservoir.
