Patent number: 11879373Abstract: An exhaust after treatment system for a vehicle includes an exhaust outlet pipe, having a first end that is connectable to a vehicle engine, for receiving exhaust gases from said vehicle engine, and having an outlet opening at a second end, arranged to eject the outlet gases, a catalytic converter, connected to the exhaust outlet pipe; and an electric heater element which is in heat conducting contact with the catalytic converter and adapted for pre-heating the catalytic converter. The heater element is positioned downstream of the catalytic converter with respect to the first end. Upon the vehicle being started, the heater element is switched on and gases are flowed from the second end, in the direction of the first end of the exhaust outlet pipe, through the catalytic converter for a pre-set period of time prior to passing exhaust gases from the engine towards the outlet opening at the second end.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2022Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: Volvo Car CorporationInventors: Peter Sandberg, Mats Laurell, Niklas Löfgren

Patent number: 10064063Abstract: An apparatus and method for authenticating digital data is described. The method comprises generating the digital data with a radio device that operates on a narrowband channel and associating metadata to the digital data, the metadata being unique to the digital data. Further, a predefined function is applied to both the digital data and the associated metadata to generate an authentication key, and the authentication key is transmitted for storage at a remote server via the narrowband channel. The digital data is then authenticated using the stored authentication key.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2012Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Peter Sandberg, Mark S.

Patent number: 10012124Abstract: An exhaust gas aftertreatment device for an internal combustion engine comprises a housing, first and second catalytic substrates arranged inside the housing such that the first catalytic substrate is arranged upstream of the second catalytic substrate, and a reductant injector arranged in between the first and second catalytic substrates. Further, the first and second catalytic substrates are arranged such that a fluid flow direction through the exhaust gas aftertreatment device is angled. A flow redirecting wall is arranged downstream of the first catalytic substrate such that the fluid flow between the first and second catalytic substrates at least partially passes an outer circumference of the first catalytic substrate before reaching the second catalytic substrate. The redirecting wall is inclined to an outlet surface of the first catalytic substrate and the reductant injector is arranged at the redirecting wall at a position distant from the outlet surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2015Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: Volvo Car CorporationInventors: Peter Sandberg, Marie Stenfeldt
