Latest Patents
One of Shaw's latest patents focuses on monitoring battery health in HVAC systems. This invention involves systems and methods for tracking the charge state of a rechargeable battery and the number of amp-hours provided to or from the battery. The invention records the number of amp-hours and detects an end-of-life condition based on this data. In certain implementations, the end-of-life condition is identified by comparing the number of amp-hours to a threshold or by calculating the rate of change of amp-hours during charge or discharge cycles.
Another notable patent by Shaw is a system and method to regenerate a diesel particulate filter. This exhaust system is designed for use with diesel engines and includes a diesel particulate filter that captures particulate matter. It features sensors to detect particulate matter accumulation levels and ambient temperature. The control module adjusts the regeneration threshold based on the ambient temperature and initiates regeneration when the particulate matter accumulation reaches a specified level.
