Patents by Inventor Hoa T. Dinh

Hoa T. Dinh 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: 11114715
    Abstract: This disclosure details exemplary electrical module designs for use in electrified vehicles. An exemplary electrical module (e.g., a battery pack, control module, etc.) may include a component (e.g., battery array, bussed electrical center, battery electric control module, etc.) and an enclosure assembly that houses the component. The enclosure assembly may include a polymer-based substrate and a metallic foil that is adapted to improve an electromagnetic compatibility of the polymer-based substrate. A compression limiter may be positioned within the enclosure assembly and is adapted to establish a conductive path between the metallic foil and a separate metallic component (e.g., a fastener) of the electrical module.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 6, 2018
    Date of Patent: September 7, 2021

  • Patent number: 6631700
    Abstract: An arrangement 7 of a dual oil feed variable timed camshaft is provided. The arrangement includes a camshaft 10 which has a radial side 22 and an end face 26. The camshaft 10 has first and second passages 30, 42 fluidly connecting end face 26 with the radial side 22. A hub 60 is connected with camshaft end face 26. The hub 60 has a central opening 68 intersecting with the first and second passages 30, 42. The hub 60 has at least first and second axial spaced radial passages 80, 82 intersecting with the hub central opening 68. A timing pulley 90 has relative rotational movement with respect to the hub 60. The timing pulley 90 and the hub 60 define pressure chambers 104 which are divided by vanes 88 into retard angle spaces 108 intersecting with the hub first radial passages 80 and advance angle spaces 112 intersecting with the hub second radial passage 82.
