Patent number: 11541717Abstract: An inlet subassembly for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The inlet subassembly includes a divider defining a first airflow path and a second airflow path on opposite sides of the divider. The first airflow path extends from a first side of the recirculation air inlet and a first side of the fresh air inlet. The second airflow path extends from a second side of the recirculation air inlet and a second side of the fresh air inlet. A first inlet door is movable to control airflow into the first airflow path from the first side of the recirculation air inlet or the first side of the fresh air inlet. A second inlet door is movable to control airflow into the second airflow path from the second side of the recirculation air inlet or the second side of the fresh air inlet.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: DENSO International America, Inc.Inventors: Eric Barbier, Brian Belanger

Patent number: 11364768Abstract: An inlet subassembly for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The inlet subassembly includes a fresh air inlet and a fresh air door movable to control fresh airflow through the fresh air inlet. The inlet subassembly further includes a recirculation air inlet and a partition defining a first airflow channel and a second airflow channel extending from the recirculation air inlet. A recirculation air door is adjacent to the recirculation air inlet and is movable to a closed position restricting recirculated airflow into both the first airflow channel and the second airflow channel, an open position permitting recirculated airflow into both the first airflow channel and the second airflow channel, and a two-layer position in which the recirculation air door restricts recirculated airflow into the first airflow channel and permits recirculated airflow into the second airflow channel.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2020Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: DENSO International America, Inc.Inventors: Eric Barbier, Brian Belanger

Patent number: 10226981Abstract: The present teachings provide for an HVAC assembly including a housing and a door. The housing can define a first flue. The first flue can be configured to direct a first airflow through the housing. The door can be received in the housing and can be movable between a first position and a second position. The door can have an edge and an upstream surface. The edge can form a seal with the housing when the door is in the first position. The edge can be spaced apart from the housing when the door is in the second position. The upstream surface of the door can define a plurality of channels proximate to the edge of the door.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2015Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: DENSO International America, Inc.Inventors: Paul Sauter, Justin Black, John Uhrick, Eric Barbier

Publication number: 20160086179Abstract: A payment system and method for processing purchases made by a dependent recipient and funded by a payor are provided. The payment system stores conditions set by a payor, and the conditions govern use of the payor's money by the recipient. Purchase transactions within the payment system are initiated by the recipient and approved or rejected by the administrator of the payment system prior to merchant involvement in the process. The administrator approves the purchase request only when the conditions set by the payor have been satisfied, and the merchant is notified of the purchase and paid in response to approval of the purchase request. The administrator rejects the purchase request if the payor conditions are not met, and the administrator notifies the recipient if the purchase request is rejected.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2014Publication date: March 24, 2016Inventor: Eric Barbier
