  • Patent number: 12057732
    Abstract: High voltage discharge is provided. A system can include an electric motor of an electric vehicle electrically connected to a capacitor. A switching component can be connected with and intermediary to the electric motor and the capacitor. A controller can cause the switching component to enter a first state to cause the electric motor to convert electrical power of the capacitor to mechanical power to propel the electric vehicle, or convert mechanical power from a drive system of the electric vehicle to electrical power to charge the capacitor. The controller can cause the switching component to enter, in response to detection by the controller of an indication to discharge the capacitor, a second state to isolate the electric motor from the capacitor.

  • Publication number: 20240219038
    Abstract: A wearable cooling device to restore and/or maintain a user's thermal comfort is provided. The wearable cooling device is versatile and may cool various locations on a user's body, e.g., wrist, neck and ankle. The wearable cooling device utilizes a forced air device, e.g., a fan, that blows air onto a wetted piece of media which is in direct contact with a high thermally conductive element that is in contact with a user's skin or with a user's outer clothing. The wetted media is situated between the forced air device and the high thermally conductive element. When the forced air device is activated, the exhaust air passes onto/around the wetted media, which cools the high thermally conductive element, thereby cooling down the user. The wearable cooling device may be combined with watch functionality and the relative positioning of the wearable cooling device and watch functionality may be controlled for user benefit.
