Publication number: 20240159273Abstract: A bearing unit includes two hydro-deflector sealing systems, each positioned on opposite axial ends of the bearing unit. Each hydro-deflector sealing system includes an external seal having a first radially outer lip, a second radially outer lip, and a radially inner anchoring lip formed at an opposite end. An angled connecting portion connects the second radially outer lip to an intermediate portion that extends to the radially inner anchoring lip. At least two ridges are formed on the intermediate portion. The first and second radially outer lips and the angled connecting portion define a W-shaped groove that deflect contaminants away. The hydro-deflector sealing system also has an internal seal having a primary lip, an anchoring lip formed, an intermediate portion connecting the primary lip and the anchoring lip, and a secondary lip toward the external seal that does not contact the external seal under normal operating conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Nilesh Bang, Yash Patil, Kapil Chaudhary, Gianpiero Scaltriti, Gopal Kamble

Publication number: 20240016060Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to piezoelectric devices and methods of patterning piezoelectric layers for piezoelectric device fabrication. In certain embodiments, a piezoelectric layer disposed over a bottom electrode layer on a substrate is selectively etched via a laser etching process to expose portions of the bottom electrode layer. The laser etching process of the piezoelectric layer facilitates improvement of throughput and reduces hazardous byproduct production during fabrication of piezoelectric devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Vijay Bhan SHARMA, Nilesh PATIL, Bharatwaj RAMAKRISHNAN, Suresh Chand SETH, Abhijeet Laxman SANGLE

Publication number: 20230320223Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for depositing uniform layers on a substrate (201) for piezoelectric applications. An ultra-thin seed layer (308) having a uniform thickness from center to edge thereof is deposited on a substrate (201). A template layer (310) closely matching the crystal structure of a subsequently formed piezoelectric material layer (312) is deposited on a substrate (201). The uniform thickness and orientation of the seed layer (308) and the template layer (310), in turn, facilitate the growth of piezoelectric materials with improved crystallinity and piezoelectric properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2020Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Abhijeet Laxman SANGLE, Vijay Bhan SHARMA, Yuan XUE, Ankur KADAM, Bharatwaj RAMAKRISHNAN, Uday PAI, Nilesh PATIL

Patent number: 9822868Abstract: A vent for a motor vehicle transmission includes a housing attached to a bell housing of the transmission. A plate is mounted in the housing, and the plate has an open position to enable heat to dissipate from the interior of the bell housing through an opening of the housing and a closed position to prevent debris or water from entering through the opening of the housing into the interior of the bell housing. The vent is a passive vent with a biasing mechanism that moves the plate to the open position when an interior temperature of the bell housing reaches a predetermined temperature threshold and moves the plate to the closed position when the interior temperature of the bell housing falls below the predetermined temperature threshold.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2017Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Greg Alan Weeter, Nilesh Patil
