Patent number: 12000347Abstract: An operating method for a fresh-air feed device for an internal combustion engine is configured for feeding fresh air from the environment surrounding the internal combustion engine into at least one combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. A controllable throttle valve is configured for varying a through-flowable area of the fresh-air feed device and for at least partially shutting off the fresh-air feed device. The device has a compressor which is arranged upstream of the throttle valve in an intended through-flow direction from the environment into the combustion chamber, which is configured for conveying an air mass flow in the intended through-flow direction in the fresh-air feed device. A pre-compressor section of the device is arranged upstream of the compressor, an intermediate section is arranged downstream of the compressor device and upstream of the throttle valve, and a post-throttle section is arranged downstream of the throttle valve.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2021Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Andreas Keber, David Leitner, Martin Ranzmaier, Paul-Andre Rosenberger, Josef Wasserbauer

Patent number: 11917058Abstract: Intelligent impedance injection modules (IIM)s are currently being used for line balancing and overcoming local disturbances on High Voltage (HV) transmission lines of an HV power grid. These distributed IIMs are connected and/or coupled to the HV transmission lines and operate with a pseudo ground at the voltage of the HV transmission line. In order to operate effectively, the IIMs need to communicate with other distributed IIMs across the three phases of the HV grid and also communicate with local intelligent centers LINCs that connect to and synchronize operations across each group of the distributed IIMs in a local region of the HV power grid. Systems and methods are presented for effective and secure sub-cyclic speed communication to and from the distributed IIMs, distributed IIMs to LINCs and substations to enable coordinated actions. Further the distributed IIMs and LINCs receive GPS signals and use the GPS clock for synchronizing operations.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Smart Wires Inc.Inventors: Michael Thomas Garrison Stuber, Paul-Andre Corbeil

Publication number: 20240049102Abstract: Techniques described herein provide pooling of radio access network (RAN) resources in a disaggregated RAN in a manner that enables dynamic re-homing of RAN functions with minimal disruption to stateful communications. The RAN is a hierarchical arrangement of RAN units, each having an associated state at any given time. A RAN state pooling system (RSPS) is in communication with a pool of the RAN units via a high-speed communication channel. The RSPS is configured to maintain an updated repository of the state information for the RAN units in its serviced pool. In the event of re-homing from a first RAN unit to a second RAN unit in the pool (e.g., due to the first RAN unit failing, becoming overloaded, etc.), the RSPS provides the second RAN unit with the updated state information for the first RAN unit to facilitate a stateful re-homing.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Paul-André Raymond, Ashish Bansal, Dhaval Mehta, Manjari Asawa
