  • Pendulum oil pump
    Patent number: 11828288
    Abstract: A pendulum pump includes a housing, a cover positioned on the housing and forming a cavity therebetween, an inner rotor and an outer rotor positioned within the cavity, wherein the inner rotor is connected via a plurality of pendulums to the outer rotor, and the pendulums are mounted to the outer rotor in an articulated manner such that a rotational eccentricity can be imparted between the inner rotor and the outer rotor to control a flow rate of the pendulum pump, and a protective plate positioned within the cavity and against a surface of one of the housing and the cover.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 6, 2022
    Date of Patent: November 28, 2023
    Inventors: Liviu Marinica, Mihajlo Soc, Steven Fletcher, Adam Rossetto

  • Precision cooling system
    Patent number: 7021250
    Abstract: A precision cooling system directs the flow of coolant to optimize coolant flow around the cylinders of an internal combustion engine. This results in lower temperatures in the upper portion of the cylinders, more uniform temperatures throughout the engine, and a lower average temperature. The precision cooling system is integrated into the construction of the water jacket distributing coolant throughout the engine and particularly around the combustion cylinders.
