Publication number: 20260309359Abstract: A housing for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is disclosed. The housing includes a first partition panel and a second partition panel which form an interface. An air leakage pathway is formed at the interface, defined on a first side by the first partition panel and on a second side by the second partition panel. The leakage pathway is shaped to direct leaking air in at least two opposing directions to reduce leakage. The first partition panel comprises a multi-bend return flange, which includes a first bend section at approximately 90°, a second bend section at approximately 180°relative to the first, and a third bend section extending substantially parallel to the first partition panel body. The second partition panel comprises a single-bend return flange at the interface, which cooperates with the flange of the first panel to define the air leakage pathway.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2026Publication date: October 8, 2026Inventors: Lingjun Meng, Lanson Delos Owen, Aaron D. Rice, Lester Dale Sherrow

Publication number: 20260218937Abstract: A heat exchanger assembly is provided that includes a heat exchanger plate with a first and a second set of tubes coupled thereto. An inducer pan is mounted to the heat exchanger plate and supports a draft inducer having a housing. To effectively manage liquid condensate, the assembly features a dual-drainage system. A first drainage channel is disposed at the interface between the housing of the draft inducer and the heat exchanger plate. A second drainage channel is at least partially located within the housing of the draft inducer itself. This configuration allows for the systematic collection and removal of condensate from two distinct locations within the assembly, thereby preventing moisture accumulation and protecting components from potential damage.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2026Publication date: July 30, 2026Inventors: Glen Christian, Aaron D. Rice, Lingjun Meng, Lester Dale Sherrow

Patent number: 12601522Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system may include a heat exchanger to condition an air flow, and conditioning the air flow may generate condensate. The HVAC system may also include a drain pan that collects the condensate and a drain pan adapter coupled between the drain pan and the heat exchanger. The drain pan adapter may include a coil receiver for engaging a portion of the heat exchanger and a retaining arm that reduces an amount of the air flow over the portion of the heat exchanger.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2023Date of Patent: April 14, 2026Assignee: Johnson Controls Light Commercial IP GmbHInventors: Lingjun Meng, Lanson D. Owen, Lester D. Sherrow

Publication number: 20250367645Abstract: A novel photocatalyst Bi2WO6/NiO/Ag with hierarchical flower-like Z-scheme heterojunction, which exhibited excellent stability and photocatalytic activity over a wide light spectrum, was synthesized. The as-prepared composites were used in the remediation of real oil sands process water (OSPW) and achieved complete removal of aromatics, classical naphthenic acids (NAs). and heteroatomic NAs after 6 h of photocatalytic treatment. The acute toxicity of OSPW was completely eliminated after only 2 hours of treatment. h+, ·OH and O2·—were found to be the major oxidative species in the photocatalytic system. The enhanced photocatalytic efficiency is the result of the unique Z-scheme electron transfer among electron mediator Ag, NiO, and Bi2WO6 and the SPR effect near Ag, which was supported by the DFT calculations of the electronic properties of Bi2WO6/NiO/Ag heterostructure.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2023Publication date: December 4, 2025Applicant: THE GOVERNORS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTAInventors: Mohamed GAMAL EL-DIN, Lingjun MENG

Publication number: 20250116420Abstract: An enclosure for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) unit includes an enclosure panel. The enclosure panel includes a panel body, a plurality of vent holes formed through the panel body, a plurality of holes formed through the panel body adjacent an edge of the panel body, and a flange extending from the edge of the panel body. The flange includes a lateral portion extending crosswise from the edge of the panel body. The flange also includes a guard portion extending crosswise from an end of the lateral portion, opposite the panel body. The guard portion overlaps with a respective central axis of each hole of the plurality of holes.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2024Publication date: April 10, 2025Inventors: Lingjun Meng, Lanson Delos Owen, II, Aaron D.

Patent number: 11327477Abstract: Disclosed are a somatosensory remote controller, a somatosensory remote control flight system and method, and a remote control method. The somatosensory remote controller comprises: a motion sensor, a controller, a first transmission module, and a remote controller body. The motion sensor, the first transmission module, and the controller are all disposed on the remote controller body, and the motion sensor and the first transmission module are electrically connected to the controller. The motion sensor acquires initial state information of a current position of the remote controller body and movement information about movement of the remote controller body, and transmit the same to the controller. The controller is configured to receive, according to the initial state information and the movement information, a flight instruction, and send the flight instruction via the first transmission module.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2016Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: POWERVISION ROBOT INC.Inventors: Weifeng Zheng, Baoyi Zhang, Yanqing Yang, Lingjun Meng
