Publication number: 20240103301Abstract: A head-mounted display may include a display system and an optical system in a housing. The display system may have displays that produce images. Positioners may be used to move the displays relative to the eye positions of a user's eyes. An adjustable optical system may include tunable lenses such as tunable cylindrical liquid crystal lenses. The displays may be viewed through the lenses when the user's eyes are at the eye positions. A sensor may be incorporated into the head-mounted display to measure refractive errors in the user's eyes. The sensor may include waveguides and volume holograms, and a camera for gathering light that has reflected from the retinas of the user's eyes. Viewing comfort may be enhanced by adjusting display positions relative to the eye positions and/or by adjusting lens settings based on the content being presented on the display and/or measured refractive errors.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Victoria C.

Patent number: 9693487Abstract: This patent disclosure describes heat management and removal assemblies for electronic devices that generate heat during use. The disclosed assemblies are particularly useful for cooling insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). The disclosed assemblies provide a low-resistance parallel cooling circuit for efficiently delivering coolant to one or more electronic devices. The disclosed parallel cooling circuits and assembly designs reduce the pump power required to deliver coolant to one or more electronic devices.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2015Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Edward Choi, Chris J.

Publication number: 20170164516Abstract: A cooling device for an electric component may include a manifold with a coolant section having a coolant inlet trough and a coolant outlet trough. The device may further include a fluid turbulator having a turbulator plate with turbulator fins extending upwardly therefrom, and turbulator inlet openings and outlet openings through the turbulator plate, and a turbulator carrier surrounding the turbulator plate. The fluid turbulator may be installed between the coolant section and the electric component so that a heat exchange reservoir is defined by bottom surface of the electric component, the turbulator plate top surface and the turbulator carrier. Coolant from a coolant source may flow into the coolant inlet trough, through the turbulator inlet opening into the heat exchange reservoir, and out of the heat exchange reservoir through the turbulator outlet opening into the coolant outlet trough to remove heat from the electric component.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2015Publication date: June 8, 2017Applicant: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Chris J.
