Publication number: 20250060042Abstract: A seal assembly which includes a combination of an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve, which has a low friction sliding interface, such that the seal assembly provides desired sealing force and frictional force characteristics. When assembled, the seal assembly surrounds a rotor, such that the seal assembly is disposed between the outer surface of the rotor and the inner surface of a housing. The inner sleeve includes one or more ribs which are in contact with the outer surface of the rotor, which concentrates the sealing in the area of the ribs. The concentration of the sealing reduces the total friction between the rotor and the inner sleeve, while maintaining proper sealing force. The ribs formed as part of the inner sleeve are spaced apart such that the openings of the rotor are positioned relative to the ribs in a desired manner, regardless of the orientation of the rotor.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2024Publication date: February 20, 2025Applicant: Vitesco Technologies USA, LLCInventors: Shrutika Sawardekar, Alexander Dragojlov, Ravinder Singh Gill, Benjamin Dominick Manton Williams, Jianlin Guo

Publication number: 20240322555Abstract: Disclosed a method and system for identifying an existence, location and type of a weak-signal fault in an islanded inverter-based microgrid. The weak-signal fault includes a high impedance fault, an inverter DC-side short-circuit fault, and an inverter tripping fault, and usually fails to be detected by conventional relay methods due to small magnitude of fault current. Upon received voltage and current measurements from intelligent electronic devices installed in the microgrid, the variation mode decomposition algorithm is firstly applied to detect the existence of fault based on denoised time series of measurements using discrete wavelet transform algorithm. After detecting the presence of fault, the correlation-based matrix is applied to locate the suspicious fault locations, and then K-nearest neighbors model is utilized to identify the faulty branch among those locations using dynamic time warping algorithm to measure the distance between neighbors.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2023Publication date: September 26, 2024Inventors: Hongbo Sun, Imtiaj Khan, Kyeong Jin Kim, Jianlin Guo

Publication number: 20240319978Abstract: A network manager is provided for delivering a firmware/software program to multi-mode nodes and single-mode nodes arranged in a multi-hop wireless IoT network. The network manager includes a transceiver configured to perform wireless communication by transmitting the encoded packets of the firmware/software program to the first-hop nodes. The network manager divides firmware/software program into source blocks, encodes the source blocks into encoded blocks based on coding scheme, packs the encoded blocks into encoded packets, transmits the encoded packets to the first-hop nodes. In this case, the first-hop nodes are configured to receive, decode, re-encode and re-transmit the encoded packets to propagate firmware/software distribution to the other-hop nodes. The network manager keeps broadcasting the encoded packets to the first-hop nodes until a predetermined percent of the first-hop nodes receive the firmware/software program.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2023Publication date: September 26, 2024Inventors: Jianlin Guo, Jothi Prasanna Shanmuga Sundaram, Toshiaki Koike Akino, Pu Wang, Kieran Parsons, Philip Orlik, Takenori Sumi, Yukimasa Nagai
