Patents by Inventor Bangalore Siddalingappa Nagabhushana

Bangalore Siddalingappa Nagabhushana 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).

  • Patent number: 9090250
    Abstract: An apparatus is described including a hybrid power train having an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. The apparatus includes a hybrid power system battery pack that is electrically coupled to the electric motor. The apparatus includes an energy securing device that is thermally coupled to the hybrid power system battery pack. The energy securing device selectively removes thermal energy from the hybrid power system battery pack, and secure removed thermal energy. The energy securing device secures the removed thermal energy by storing the energy in a non-thermal for, or by using the energy to accommodate a present energy requirement.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8742701
    Abstract: A system includes an engine and a first coolant thermally coupled to the engine and circulated by a first pump; a hybrid battery pack thermally coupled to a second coolant circulated by a second pump; and an electric component thermally coupled to the second coolant. The system includes a first heat exchanger that transfers thermal energy between the first coolant and the second coolant. The system includes a second heat exchanger that transfers thermal energy between the second coolant and the auxiliary fluid stream having a temperature below a target operating temperature for the hybrid battery pack. The system includes a first bypass for the first or second coolant at the first heat exchanger, a second bypass for the second coolant or the auxiliary fluid stream at the second heat exchanger, and a component bypass for the second coolant at the hybrid battery pack or the electric component.
