Patent number: 11742540Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for battery pack thermal management, such as heating and cooling of individual batteries arranged into battery packs. The methods and systems use thermal control modules, specifically configured to thermally couple to the side wall and the bottom end of each battery in a battery pack. In some examples, a thermal control module comprises a thermal plate and one or two battery engagement components, connected and thermally coupled to the thermal plate. Each battery engagement component comprises a plurality of battery receiving openings. When the batteries are installed into these openings, the side wall and the bottom end of each battery are thermally coupled to the thermal control module. Thermal fluid is circulated through at least the thermal plate to provide cooling or heating to the batteries without any direct contact between the thermal fluid and the batteries.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2020Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Canoo Technologies Inc.Inventors: Deborah Bourke, Michael Fricke, David Tarlau, Phillip Weicker, Berton Vite, Hrayr Torosyan, Cody Joel Rhebergen

Publication number: 20170288203Abstract: A bending tool is disclosed. The bending tool may include a male fixture that may have a projection with an outer surface and a female fixture that may be configured to receive the projection. The female fixture may have a first height in a direction that is substantially parallel to the projection. The bending tool may also include a positioning device, which may be disposed between the male fixture and the female fixture. The male fixture may be configured to move between a starting position and an ending position in which the outer surface of the projection is received by the female fixture at a pre-determined distance below the first height.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2016Publication date: October 5, 2017Inventors: Steven Harold Offutt, Hrayr Torosyan
