International Classification:
B60J 1/20
US Classification:
2961805
Abstract:
A vehicle flow trip, includes a moveable body portion in physical communication with a vehicle body, and an actuator comprising an active material in operative communication with the vehicle body and the moveable body portion; wherein the active material undergoes a change in a property upon receipt of an activation signal, wherein the change in a property is effective to displace the moveable body portion from either an original position or a deployed position in an airflow stream to the other of the original or the deployed position through motion of the actuator.

Drag Reduction Device For A Motor Vehicle

View page
US Patent:
7874610, Jan 25, 2011
Filed:
Jun 22, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/766809
Inventors:
Bahram Khalighi - Troy MI, US
Assignee:
GM Global Technology Operations LLC - Detroit MI
International Classification:
B62D 35/00
US Classification:
2961801, 2961805, 296 571, 296 50
Abstract:
A drag reduction device for a motor vehicle is provided that includes a substantially flat plate member preferably rotatably connected to a tailgate assembly. The tailgate assembly has at least one, but preferably two panels defining a cavity. The plate member can be selectively positioned at a first position and a second, third, or fourth position. When in the first position, the plate member is inside the cavity. In the second position, the plate member is substantially vertical, and partially extending outside the cavity. In the third position, the plate member is extending forward, preferably in a horizontal orientation outside the cavity. When in the fourth position, the plate member is extending rearward, preferably in a horizontal orientation outside the cavity. The plate member is of sufficient length when in the second, third, and fourth positions to thereby reduce the coefficient of drag and lift on the vehicle.

Secondary Battery Module And Composite Article Thereof

View page
US Patent:
8372532, Feb 12, 2013
Filed:
May 4, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/773182
Inventors:
Taeyoung Han - Bloomfield Hills MI, US
Bahram Khalighi - Troy MI, US
Chih-Cheng Hsu - Rochester Hills MI, US
Herman K. Phlegm - Oak Park MI, US
Robert D. Drexler - Clawson MI, US
Assignee:
GM Global Technology Operations LLC - Detroit MI
International Classification:
H01M 10/50
US Classification:
429120, 165185
Abstract:
A composite article for dissipating thermal energy from a secondary battery cell includes a first graphite layer, a second graphite layer spaced away from and arranged parallel to the first graphite layer, and a metal layer sandwiched between and disposed in contact with each of the first graphite layer and the second graphite layer. The composite article has a thermal conductivity of greater than or equal to about 1,200 W/mK and an electrical conductivity of greater than or equal to about 10,000 S/cm. A secondary battery module includes the composite article and a secondary battery cell having a length and an average measurable temperature along the length during operation of the secondary battery module. The composite article is disposed adjacent and in contact with the secondary battery cell to thereby dissipate thermal energy from the secondary battery cell during operation of the secondary battery module.

International Classification:
H01M 10/50
US Classification:
429120
Abstract:
A secondary battery module includes a plurality of secondary battery cells each having a measureable temperature and each spaced apart from an adjacent one of the secondary battery cells to define a cooling channel therebetween. The plurality of cells includes a first one of the cells having a measureable first temperature and a terminal one of the cells having a measureable terminal temperature and separated from the first one of the cells by at least one other of the cells. The module includes a fluid flowable within each of the cooling channels and in thermal energy exchange relationship with each of the cells, and a housing defining an inlet channel disposed in fluid flow communication with each of the cooling channels and configured for directing fluid flow uniformly to each of the cooling channels, and further defining a plurality of inlet ports in fluid flow communication with the inlet channel.

Secondary Battery Thermal Management Device And System

US Patent:
20110244294, Oct 6, 2011
Filed:
Apr 5, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/754126
Inventors:
Taeyoung Han - Bloomfield Hills MI, US
Bahram Khalighi - Troy MI, US
Steven G. Goebel - Victor NY, US
Assignee:
GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS, INC. - Detroit MI
International Classification:
H01M 10/50
US Classification:
429120
Abstract:
A thermal management device for dissipating thermal energy from a secondary battery cell includes a first plate defining a first channel and a second channel spaced apart from the first channel, wherein the first plate further defines an inlet port in communication with the first channel and an outlet port in communication with the second channel and spaced opposite the inlet port. The device includes a second plate configured for thermal energy exchange with the cell and disposed in contact with the first plate to define a cross-flow channel, wherein the cross-flow channel interconnects the first and second channels. A thermal management system includes a cell having a first temperature, a fluid having a second temperature that is less than the first temperature, and the device. The fluid is conveyable from the inlet port to the outlet port via the cross-flow channel to thereby dissipate thermal energy from the cell.
