Patent number: 11761190Abstract: Stormwater inlets and stormwater inlet seals are disclosed. The stormwater inlet seal can include a first section and a second section. The first section and/or second section at least partially defines an opening in the stormwater inlet seal. The first section can be pivotally connected to the second section about an edge of the first section. The first section can be moveable between a first position in which the first section is biased towards a closed position to direct fluid towards the opening and a second position which allows access to the inlet. A stormwater inlet with a first section that is pivotally connected to a sidewall is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2021Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Stormwater360 Group LimitedInventors: Gregory Paul Yeoman, Michael Morton Hannah

Patent number: 11186980Abstract: A method of removing sediment from fluid flow within a storm water drain pit by deflecting flow entering the pit towards the side walls of the pit by one or more deflectors. This reduces the energy of the fluid flow and promotes settling of sediment within the catch pit. Each deflector is preferably of a concave form and may be located in a storm water drain pit bag or suspended. A removable catch basin receptacle for a storm water drain pit includes a container has a low flow outlet defining a fluid path for fluid at a first level within the container to a second level, higher than the first level, outside the container. An overflow path provides a fluid flow path out of the container at a level higher than the first or second level.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2018Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Stormwater360 Group LimitedInventors: Gregory Paul Yeoman, Michael Morton Hannah

Patent number: 10476051Abstract: A heat exchanger integrated into an electric vehicle's battery pack enclosure is provided, where the heat exchanger conduits are mechanically and thermally coupled to the inside surface of the enclosure base plate and where the battery pack enclosure is mounted such that ambient air flows over the outside surface of the enclosure base plate during vehicle motion. A thermal management system is coupled to, and controls operation of, the integrated battery pack heat exchanger such that in a first operational mode the heat exchanger is thermally coupled to the batteries within the battery pack, and in a second operational mode the heat exchanger is thermally decoupled from the batteries within the battery pack.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2013Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Tesla, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Mardall, Paul Yeomans

Publication number: 20050170318Abstract: A stunt card for performing card stunts by participant members of a crowd in common attendance at an event at a venue, preferably one having a seating arrangement such as a sporting event in a sports stadium, comprises a planar medium, foldable between unfolded and folded configurations to form a stunt color panel, a commemorative panel, and a theme panel. In a folded configuration the stunt card preferably includes two visible sides each obverse to the other; one side forming a stunt color panel, the other forming a theme panel. A selected color is depicted on substantially all of the stunt color panel and a thematic design is depicted on the theme panel. The design on the theme panel is preferably related to the event at which the crowd is in attendance, but may reflect any theme that is commonly meaningful to the crowd. The folded stunt card has sufficient rigidity to enable it be flipped over quickly from the theme panel to the stunt color panel and still substantially retain its planar shape.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2005Publication date: August 4, 2005Inventor: Paul Yeomans
