Publication number: 20240132051Abstract: In some implementations, a method may include obtaining target fault data indicating a preselected fault for a vehicle having a hydrogen source. In addition, the method may include obtaining vehicle fault data indicating a fault of the vehicle. The method may include identifying a match between the fault and the preselected fault. Moreover, the method may include purging, in response to the identifying the match, hydrogen from the hydrogen source so as to reduce consequences of a battery thermal event by reducing the likelihood of a hydrogen-fueled fire.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Max Donald Carruthers, Steven James Mclaren, Abdul Ishaq, Tarkan Yapici, Mehfoos Yacoob, Thomas Stewart, Jithin Benjamin, J.

Publication number: 20220031978Abstract: There is provided an aerosol generating device, comprising an inhalation outlet; a chamber for holding a material, the material capable of generating a vapour when heated; a heater for heating material held in the chamber; an air inlet connected by an air inlet passage to the chamber; a vapour-cooling module providing a fluidic connection between the chamber and inhalation outlet, the module configured to cool a vapour passing there through. In use, suction at the inhalation outlet causes air to enter the chamber via the air inlet, thereby transporting the vapour generated in the chamber through the vapour-cooling module to the inhalation outlet, such that the temperature of the vapour exiting the device through the inhalation outlet is substantially lower than the temperature of the vapour generated in the chamber. The aerosol generating device thereby provides a means whereby a vapour generated in the chamber is substantially cooled during transport from the chamber through the mouthpiece to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2021Publication date: February 3, 2022Applicant: JT International S.A.Inventors: Tatiana Golovanova, Christopher Rory Parsons, Michael Orth, Takashi Hasegawa, Michael Plattner, Thomas Johaentges
