Patents by Inventor Kenneth Losch

Kenneth Losch 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: 11866668
    Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for managing variable, multi-phase fluid conversion to output fuel and energy for providing customizable management for processing a volume of natural gas including a volume of methane and a volume of other alkanes that may be cleaned of the other alkanes using a conversion system to create synthesis gas and other fuel products to be used in onsite or combined heat and power or cogeneration applications. In particular, the method, system, and apparatus provide for automated feedback and control directing various gas constituents to different application units with allocations according to settings system parameters to quickly and efficiently meet the demand for various products while making adjustments in real-time.

  • Patent number: 11766944
    Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for multi-fuel, range extending power generation applied to propulsion in a vehicle. One or more fluid fuels including diesel and natural gas and/or their renewable counterparts of Biodiesel or Renewable Natural Gas are stored on board a vehicle and selectively supplied to an onboard electrical generator according to sensor measurements analyzed by a processor directing power generation and transmission to motor controllers and motors providing vehicle propulsion. The combined natural gas-electric and diesel-electric transmissions control system power generation driving electric motors rather than a diesel engine mechanical connection to axles and wheels. This integrated system provides improved extended range to diesel hauling applications with improved emissions while maintaining torque, and efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20160092297
    Abstract: An API gateway provides a failure policy for services that fail when presented with a request. An API definition includes a policy for controlling subsequent calls to a server once failures are detected. The policy provides a threshold number of failures before requests are failed-fast. After a timeout period, requests are again presented to the service in an attempt to reset the system. The first request is allowed to pass and subsequent calls are either allowed to pass, if the requests succeed, or fail fast if the requests fail. When the requests succeed, the system follows a procedure to ramp up the use of the service in order to allow the system time to recover, by looping through stages configured by the service and set out in the API definition.
