Publication number: 20260144442Abstract: A system for collecting physiological data from a patient is disclosed. The system includes a reusable module and a disposable module. The disposable module collects and transmits physiological data to the reusable module, which in turn transmits the physiological data to a patient monitoring system. The reusable module accesses operation data from the disposable module to validate the disposable sensor assembly. Optionally, the operation data includes sensor life data that may be used to determine life expectancy of disposable module. The disposable sensor assembly may store the physiological data for a predetermined length of time when there is no wireless communication established for the reusable module.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2025Publication date: May 28, 2026Inventors: Ammar Al-Ali, Stephen Scruggs, Richard Priddell, Chad A. De Jong, Eric Karl Kinast, Jung Soo Hwang, Steven Hang

Publication number: 20260116200Abstract: An adaptive hardware safety disconnect system for electrified vehicles may utilize configurable hardware logic circuits to selectively disable vehicle systems, such as high voltage contactors, airbags, or low voltage power in a deterministic manner. A first disconnect mechanism may disable a first set of systems, while a second disconnect mechanism disables additional systems to fully power down the vehicle. The system can be configured for different use cases such as emergency response, servicing, and development testing while using common hardware components.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2025Publication date: April 30, 2026Inventors: Sanjeewa Keven SUGATAPALA, Kyle LOBO, Joseph Daniel HIMMELHEBER, Shiju WANG, Steven HANG, Long Phi HUYNH, Baojin WANG, Michael James HIBBARD, Kshitij KULKARNI, Frederik Francois BOTES, Srinivasa Sastry GUNTUR, Jason Adam SCHWARTZ

Publication number: 20250346123Abstract: A vehicle may include an east electronic control unit (ECU), a west ECU, or a third ECU. The first ECU may operate first components on a first side of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle, while the second ECU may operate second components on a second side of the longitudinal axis. The longitudinal axis may be defined as an imaginary line running from the front of the vehicle to the rear along its center, dividing the vehicle into the first and second sides. The third ECU may be positioned at the rear of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2025Publication date: November 13, 2025Inventors: Sanjeewa Keven SUGATAPALA, Thomas ROCROI, Frederik Francois BOTES, Kyle LOBO, Ajay KUMAR, Long Phi HUYNH, Steven HANG

Publication number: 20250346124Abstract: A vehicle with a zonal architecture for power distribution may include east and west electronic control units (ECUs) operating components on respective sides of the vehicle's longitudinal axis, and a south ECU at the rear. The east ECU features a low voltage direct current to direct current (DCDC) support circuit block. ECU functions may be distributed based on geographic zones, allowing for backup operations if a primary unit fails.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2025Publication date: November 13, 2025Inventors: Steven HANG, Long Phi HUYNH, Glenn Morris FEINBERG

Publication number: 20250341121Abstract: An apparatus can include circuitry. The circuitry can be disposed within a component of a vehicle. The circuitry can include a transceiver. The transceiver can receive a first signal to indicate a first interaction with the component of the vehicle. The circuitry can include a sensor. The sensor can detect a second interaction with the component of the vehicle. The first interaction or the second interaction can cause a change to the component of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2025Publication date: November 6, 2025Applicant: Rivian IP Holdings, LLCInventors: Mirisage Niral Sachinthana Fernando, Aakash Mali, Steven Hang, Cory Ibanez, Vivek Ravi, Brandon Louis Fennema

Publication number: 20250340177Abstract: A system for monitoring or managing a low voltage (LV) battery in an electric vehicle may include a ground busbar connected with a negative terminal of the LV battery and a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) sensor. An electronic control unit (ECU) may receive temperature data from the NTC sensor and voltage measurements via dedicated sense wires to monitor battery health. The system includes a bidirectional (BiDi) switch connected between the LV battery and a LV direct current with direct current converter (DCDC), enabling trickle charging during vehicle standby mode while preventing battery overcharging.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2025Publication date: November 6, 2025Inventors: Kyle LOBO, Sanjeewa Keven SUGATAPALA, Carl James TROVALL, Long Phi HUYNH, Steven HANG, Ajay KUMAR, Glenn Morris FEINBERG, Mirisage Niral Sachinthana FERNANDO

Publication number: 20250340133Abstract: A fault isolation system for electric vehicles may include an electronic control unit with an isolator switch connected to a direct current to direct current bus and a bidirectional switch connected to a low voltage battery bus. When a fault occurs on either bus, the corresponding switch opens while maintaining power through the alternate bus, enabling vehicle functions to continue operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2025Publication date: November 6, 2025Inventors: Kyle LOBO, Steven HANG, Sanjeewa Keven SUGATAPALA, Long Phi HUYNH, Ajay KUMAR, Glenn Morris FEINBERG

Publication number: 20250343411Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for jumpstarting an electric vehicle may include an electronic control unit (ECU) accepting external power connected to an externally accessible location of the vehicle and performing recovery functions. The ECU may conduct diagnostics on the received power and execute jumpstart mode steps if the power is acceptable. These steps may include powering and activating a vehicle access system to authenticate a user, activating latches to allow vehicle access, or providing power to seats or other components in order to obtain battery access. The ECU may determine whether to charge the low voltage battery based on diagnostic results.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2025Publication date: November 6, 2025Inventors: Kyle LOBO, Sanjeewa Keven SUGATAPALA, Ajay KUMAR, Thomas ROCROI, Joshua YAKEL, Steven HANG, Long Phi HUYNH, Tanner Douglas STINSON, Mirisage Niral Sachinthana FERNANDO, Carl James TROVALL
