Publication number: 20220250464Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a method of controlling one or more active vanes (2-n) on a host vehicle (VH1) having an energy recovery system (10). The one or more active vanes (2-n) is selectively configurable in a first position and a second position. The method comprises, in respect of one or more current operating parameters of the host vehicle (VH1), determining a first energy expended value (EEV1) and a first energy recovery value (ERV1) associated with the one or more active vanes (2-n) in the first position. A second energy expended value (EEV2) and a second energy recovery value (ERV2) associated with the one or more active vanes (2-n) are determined in respect of the second position. A first difference (D1) is determined between the first energy expended value (EEV1) and the first energy recovery value (ERV1). A second difference (D2) between the second energy expended value (EEV2) is determined and the second energy recovery value (ERV2).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2020Publication date: August 11, 2022Inventor: Paul CHANDLER

Patent number: 10703304Abstract: A thermal encapsulation apparatus for reducing heat loss from a vehicle component includes an insulating layer which, together with a surface of the component, forms a cavity between them. The apparatus also includes at least one baffle located within the cavity so as to define at least one cell therein. Within the cell, a convective-driven airflow caused by a temperature gradient between the surface of the component and the insulating layer is recirculated. The apparatus allows the component to store heat when it is not operational so that upon restarting the component, e.g. the vehicle engine, there is reduced friction in the moving parts, particularly in relatively cool ambient temperatures.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2018Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: JAGUAR LAND ROVER LIMITEDInventors: Paul Chandler, Benedict Wicksteed, Dean Petley, Gery Fossaert

Publication number: 20200121961Abstract: A neuromodulation system including a catheter has a balloon along its distal end. An ultrasound transducer positioned within an interior of the balloon can be selectively activated to emit acoustic energy radially outwardly, targeting nerve tissue and other portions of the subject anatomy. Targeted nerve tissue can be heated by the application of ultrasonic energy to neuromodulate the tissue. The system may be delivered over a guidewire. A catheter enhances fluid delivery to a distal end of the catheter while reducing an overall diameter of the catheter. The catheter comprises a guidewire lumen that is eccentric relative to a center axis of the catheter.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2019Publication date: April 23, 2020Applicant: ReCor Medical, Inc.Inventors: Kevin TAYLOR, Jaime MERINO, Paul CHANDLER, Jacob RAQUET, Isidro M.

Patent number: 10371247Abstract: An encapsulation device suitable for encapsulating a transmission component of an engine system that comprises a housing member configured to encapsulate the transmission component and define an air gap in a volume between an outer surface of the transmission component and an inner surface of the encapsulation device in use. The housing member is configured to allow air flow through the air gap during operation of the engine system and to retain a heated air layer around the encapsulated transmission component following engine system shutdown in use. The air gap enables convective cooling of the transmission components during periods when the vehicle is driving and additionally allows heat dissipation to occur when the vehicle engine is switched off.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2018Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: JAGUAR LAND ROVER LIMITEDInventors: Paul Chandler, Gery Fossaert

Publication number: 20190200581Abstract: A shellfish trap system and a method for developing a reef are provided. The shellfish trap system includes a growing assembly, a first protective layer, and a second protective layer. The growing assembly includes a material which is conducive for shellfish in the pediveliger larvae stage to attach to. The first protective layer substantially envelops at least a first portion of the growing assembly during a first developmental stage of the shellfish and is removed from the growing assembly after completion of the first developmental stage. The second protective layer substantially envelops at least a second portion of the growing assembly during a second developmental stage of the shellfish, wherein the at least a second portion of the growing assembly is submerged in water during the second developmental stage of the shellfish.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2019Publication date: July 4, 2019Inventors: Paul Chandler Matthews, III, Peter Elliot Danforth
