  • Patent number: 11936214
    Abstract: In an aspect the current disclosure is directed to an electric vehicle charger for an electric vehicle. The electric vehicle charger is comprised of an energy source, a transmitter coil electrically connected to the energy source and configured to wirelessly conduct a current in a receiver coil using induction, at least a proximity sensor configured to generate alignment data relating to an electric vehicle, and a computing device that is communicatively connected to the at least a proximity sensor. The computing device may be configured to identify the electric vehicle. Identification may include receiving and authenticating at least an identification datum, and identifying the electric vehicle using that; The computing device is configured to align the transmitter coil with the receiver coil using the alignment data. Additionally, the computing device may be configured to authorize the electric vehicle to be begin charging as a function of the authentication.

  • Patent number: 11274582
    Abstract: A flow hood assembly for an engine aftertreatment system having a particulate filter and a selective catalytic reduction device is disclosed. An outer case defines a cavity, the outer case having an inlet and an outlet formed therein, and a neck section formed between the inlet and the outlet. A socket in the outer case is in an opposed relationship to the outlet and is shaped to receive an injector that introduces a reducing agent into the flow of exhaust gases. A baffle reduces a cross-sectional area of the cavity at the neck section to increase exhaust gas velocity at a sensor positioned at the neck section. A deflector member in the cavity between the baffle and the socket directs a portion of the exhaust gases towards the socket and across the injector nozzle.

  • Patent number: 11162401
    Abstract: A flowhood assembly 1 comprises an injector 30 which is fixable to a mount 50 in a number of alternative mounted positions defined by rotation of the injector about an injection axis X2 relative to the mount. The injector 30 includes one or more coolant ports 34, 35 which are connected in use to a supply of liquid coolant C. The mount 50 is fixable to a flowhood 10 in an upright, design orientation and in alternative connected positions defined by rotation of the flowhood 10 relative to the mount 50 about a connection axis X1. In a normal use position of the assembly the connection axis X1 of the flowhood is arranged at a predefined angle, optionally 0°, relative to a nominal horizontal plane P1. The injector 30 is not fixable to the mount 50 other than in the alternative mounted positions.
