Patents by Inventor Ashwin Hariharan

Ashwin Hariharan 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).

  • Cooling method and system
    Patent number: 12409757
    Abstract: Methods and systems for cooling an electric energy storage device are described. In one example, a temperature set point of a cooling system is reduced before a vehicle reaches a location along a travel route where load on the electric energy storage device is expected to be greater than a threshold load. By lowering the temperature set point, it may be possible to maintain a temperature of the electric energy storage device below a threshold temperature.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 26, 2023
    Date of Patent: September 9, 2025
    Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLC
    Inventors: Ashwin Hariharan, Hamish Lewis, Ron Razzano

  • Methods and systems for battery temperature management
    Patent number: 11757145
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a battery thermal management system. In one example, a method includes increasing coolant to a battery above a currently demanded battery cooling in response to a predicted battery temperature exceeding a threshold temperature at an upcoming location.
