Patent number: 10753565Abstract: A parabolic reflector is utilized for a vehicle head lamp having a housing, lens, light emitting diodes and control circuits for the light emitting diodes. The parabolic reflector comprises a plurality of reflective panels in an upper array for the low beam and a lower array for the high beam. The upper array is formed by three rows of twelve panels in side-to-side configuration. The lower array is divide into two separate groups, with each group having a two outermost panels, two intermediate panels and two innermost panels. The reflective panels of the upper array and the lower array are so positioned with respect to the light emitting diodes as to form a desired luminous intensity distribution from the head lamp.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2019Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: True Parts Inc.Inventor: Mitul Patel

Patent number: 10465695Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, a thrust washer and a diffuser for use in a downhole electrical submersible pump are disclosed. The pump may include a shaft and a motor communicatively coupled to the shaft. The motor may be operable to rotate the shaft. The pump may further include an impeller coupled to the shaft. The impeller may contain a balance ring, a balance hole, and a hub. The pump may further include a diffuser disposed adjacent to the impeller. The pump may further include a thrust washer coupled to the impeller. The thrust washer may be located between the balance ring and the hub without blocking the balance hole to allow fluid flow through the impeller and the diffuser. The pump may further include a discharge operable to direct fluid flow out of the multi-stage electrical submersible pump.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2014Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Mitul Patel, Dezhi Zheng, Mark Woodmansee, Mark Marcos Pina
