Jeremy Michael Cowperthwaite 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).

  • System and methods for improved starting of combustion engines
    Patent number: 9803609
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for a engine start system. In one aspect, the engine start system includes: a booster battery selectively connected in parallel with the primary batteries of the engine. The booster battery is disconnected when the battery voltage of the primary batteries is below a first target voltage. The booster battery is connected when the battery voltage of the primary batteries is at or above the second target voltage, or in response to an external input.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 21, 2015
    Date of Patent: October 31, 2017
    Assignee: Maxwell Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Ulf Carl Mikael Setterberg, Jeremy Michael Cowperthwaite, Jeff Brakley
  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVED STARTING OF COMBUSTION ENGINE
    Publication number: 20160298589
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for a combustion engine start system. In one aspect, the combustion engine start system includes a capacitor system and a controller configured to detect a battery voltage of an output of a battery system and receive an external input, wherein the controller is programmed to upon receiving the external input, if the battery voltage is below a first voltage threshold, connect an output of the capacitor system to the output of the battery system such that the battery voltage increases to a value that is at or above the first voltage threshold and below a second voltage threshold.
