Patent number: 10427539Abstract: Systems and methods are described relating a connector assembly having a mating end and a non-mating end, the mating end configured to engage a mating end of another connector assembly. The connector assembly may include a housing, a central member disposed within the housing, and a sleeve disposed between the central member and the housing. The sleeve may be slidably coupled to the housing and may be slidable along an axial direction relative to the central member. The sleeve, when slidably moved to an open position, may form a flow channel defined by at least (1) a sloped surface on the sleeve and (2) a sloped surface on the central member. The sleeve, when slidably moved to a closed position, may close the flow channel.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2016Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: FARADAY&FUTURE INC.Inventor: Khiem Dinh

Patent number: 10153524Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for implementing a cooling system for a vehicle heat-generating component wherein a two-phase coolant flows between a heat sink module and a heat radiator module. The heat radiator module can be mounted at a higher elevation within the vehicle than the heat sink module. High and low temperature fluid paths can fluidly couple the heat sink module and the heat radiator module. The heat sink module can be coupled to a heat-generating component. As the coolant is heated at the heat sink module by heat from the heat-generating component, it can change to a substantially gaseous phase and move, primarily by force of buoyancy, to the heat radiator module via the high temperature fluid path. As the coolant is cooled by the heat radiator module, it can change to a substantially liquid phase and move, primarily by force of gravity, to the heat sink module.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: FARADAY&FUTURE INC.Inventors: Khiem Dinh, David Tarlau, Berton Vite

Patent number: 9936587Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a method of fabricating a multi-channel modulator driver with an enclosure. After a substrate is provided, components of a multi-channel modulator driver are attached to the substrate. Herein, the components include first components associated with a first channel and second components associated with a second channel. Next, an enclosure is attached to the substrate to cover the multi-channel modulator driver. The enclosure has a wall disposed between the first components and the second components, and a top region coupled with the wall. The enclosure and the wall are composed of an electrically conductive polymer. The wall includes a first portion that has the electrically conductive polymer covered by a metal film and a second portion that has the electrically conductive polymer not covered by the metal film.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2015Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Qorvo US, Inc.Inventors: Craig Steinbeiser, Khiem Dinh, Anthony Chiu

Publication number: 20030003354Abstract: A battery assembly having through-the-wall connection assemblies for connecting the electrodes of a first polarity in a given battery compartment to the electrodes of a second polarity in an adjacent battery compartment through an aperture in the internal wall separating the compartments. Each through-the-wall connection assembly includes first and second button or disk shaped members. The first member has opposing first and second surfaces and the second member opposing third and fourth surfaces. The first surface of the first member and the third surface of the second member each have a projection extending outward of the respective surface. The second surface of the first member and the fourth surface of the second member each have a groove and the battery assembly further utilizes first and second elastic members situated in the grooves of the second and third surfaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2001Publication date: January 2, 2003Inventors: Elio Ferreira, Khiem Dinh Pham, Christine A.

Publication number: 20030001540Abstract: A battery assembly having a rechargeable battery and a separate battery charging unit formed from a battery charger which is affixed to a cover, the latter cover being locked to the rechargeable battery by a locking assembly. The rechargeable battery has an outer surface and positive and negative terminals extending from the outer surface and the cover is designed to cover a portion of the outer surface of the battery exclusive of the positive and negative terminals. The latter terminals are thus not obstructed by the charger and cover and are, accordingly, accessible for external connection to the battery by the user. Additionally, the locking assembly is unlockable once locked. The cover and charger are thus permanently affixed to the rechargeable battery. Terminal pieces are used in the battery assembly which are themselves secured to the battery assembly by securing members which maintain the terminal pieces secured to the battery when the pieces are disengaged from the positive and negative terminals.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2001Publication date: January 2, 2003Inventors: Elio Ferreira, Khiem Dinh Pham, Christine A.
