  • System for charging an electric vehicle (EV)
    Patent number: 10500968
    Abstract: A method of charging an electric vehicle (EV) includes receiving a user's authentication code in an electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE) from a user's mobile device, comparing in the EVSE the user's authentication code to a whitelist having a plurality of authorized user authentication codes, and enabling an electric vehicle (EV) charging transaction serviced by the EVSE in response to the comparing of the user's authentication code to the whitelist so that a user's authentication code is authenticated to enable the EV charging transaction without concurrent access to an EVSE-related remote server.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 29, 2018
    Date of Patent: December 10, 2019
    Assignee: WEBASTO CHARGING SYSTEMS, INC.
    Inventors: Scott Ryan Shumaker, Lovlesh Tandon, Herman Joseph Steinbuchel, IV, Robert Salazar, Jr., Larry Hayashigawa
  • Shock-resistant electrical switch
    Patent number: 10319548
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for an electrical switch including: an enclosure; a hinged armature disposed within the enclosure; a moveable contact electrically coupled to the hinged armature and disposed substantially parallel to the hinged armature; and a rib positioned between the hinged armature and an outer edge of the electrical switch, where the rib transfers external forces applied to the electrical switch to the enclosure by limiting movement of the hinged armature towards an outer edge of the electrical switch.
