    摘要： The invention relates to an apparatus, system and method for a doubly curved panel with a light emitting element, such as for a body panel of an automobile. Also described is a doubly curved solar panel with doubly curved solar cells and a light emitting element. The light emitting element may be of the LED or electroluminescent type and be embedded in the solar panel while remaining electrically decoupled from the solar array. The solar panel comprises doubly-curved substrate and superstrate preforms and at least one rigid layer. The preforms may comprise one or more strengthened glass and/or polymer layers. Polymer preforms may be formed by flat lamination followed by thermoforming. A core comprising lower and upper encapsulant layers sandwiching the light emitting element and solar cell array is disposed between substrate and superstrate preforms forming a lamination stack which is then subjected to a lamination process.

    摘要： A pick-and-place assembly tool, system and method comprising a flexible array of gripper heads is adapted to pick a sheet of flexible material or a pre-assembled array of flexibly coupled elements from a flat surface and place it on a convex, doubly curved surface. Gripping action may be provided by a suction force. When picking the pre-assembled array of elements, the array of gripper heads may conform to the flat surface. The assembly tool may then be moved above and aligned to the compound curved placing surface. When lowered onto the receiving surface, the assembly tool passively may precisely conform to the convex surface. Distortion of the material or array may be controlled by flexible couplers disposed between the gripper heads. Heating elements disposed on some or all of the gripper heads may be used to tack the workpiece in place to maintain registration during subsequent processing, e.g., lamination.

    摘要： A thermal management system for an electric vehicle having a drivetrain flow path coupling one or more motors and one or more inverters to an aerodynamic heat exchanger comprising one or more body panels disposed along an outer surface of the vehicle, the aerodynamic heat exchanger having one or more fluidic chambers or micro-channels. The drive flow path is decoupled from the vehicle's chiller and/or refrigeration cycle under all operating conditions. The drivetrain may be further characterized by the one or more motors being disposed proximate one or more wheels of the vehicle, such as within the wheel skirt or cowling, to capitalize on passive or free cooling via ambient airflow about the wheel. The thermal management system may further include a refrigeration cycle wherein the cabin and the battery pack are provided cooling in a parallel configuration or in a serial configuration.

    摘要： An electric vehicle having a heat exchanger formed in an aerodynamic airfoil shape comprising one or more body panels disposed along an outer surface of the vehicle having one or more fluidic chambers or micro-channels. The heat exchanger is adapted to provide effective and highly efficient heat transfer, and also to provide substantially reduced or negligible contribution to the aerodynamic drag. The heat exchanger includes a supplemental heat exchange system wherein at least a portion of the heat exchange capacity is provided by an inner heat exchange surface of the heat exchanger exposed to an interstitial space within the vehicle. Airflow is forced, via a fan for example, from an aerodynamically-efficient inlet, over the inner heat exchange surface, and exhausted through an aerodynamically-efficient outlet, thereby providing a supplemental heat exchange system including substantially reduced or negligible contribution to the aerodynamic drag.

    摘要： A LIN communication system may include a gateway module coupled to one or more LIN strings, each LIN string including one or more hardware-only point-of-use controllers (PoUC) and/or one or more programmable point-of-use controllers (PoUC). Each PoUC may be tailored to a plurality of end devices, and centrally-disposed with respect to the same. The system represents an optimized arrangement that minimizes weight, cost, and complexity of the system, while providing optimized functionality in terms of processing power, bandwidth, and the like, to achieve only that which is needed to control the vehicle. The system employs a scheduler that may interleave I/O and diagnostic messages on the LIN-protocol bus at the PoUC level that may reduce unused bandwidth. This system may be particularly adapted for use in an electric vehicle having on-board solar panels, wherein the weight of system components is a dominating factor in the vehicle design.

    摘要： An aerodynamic vehicle includes an aerodynamic heat exchanger formed as one or more body panels disposed along an outer surface of the vehicle having one or more fluidic chambers or micro-channels. The aerodynamic heat exchanger is adapted to provide effective and highly efficient heat transfer, and also to provide substantially reduced or negligible contribution to the aerodynamic drag. The aerodynamic heat exchanger may provide adequate heat rejection capacity throughout vehicle operating conditions that advantageously results in increased fuel economy and overall vehicle performance.
