Title: Patrick James McNamara and Autonomous Vehicle Cooling-System Innovation.
Introduction
Patrick James McNamara is an inventor associated with Tucson, Arizona, and CreateAI, Inc. His patent work addresses how an autonomous vehicle can respond when its cooling system does not provide sufficient coolant flow.
Latest Patents
McNamara is identified with 1 patent: “Adapting an Autonomous Vehicle’s Navigation Based on Feedback from a Cooling System.” The invention describes a system that receives signals from flow-rate sensors monitoring coolant traveling from pumps toward circuit boards. The system compares the measured coolant flow with a threshold and determines whether the total flow falls below that threshold. If it does, the system directs the autonomous vehicle to perform a minimal-risk maneuver.
Career Highlights
The patent highlights McNamara’s work at the intersection of vehicle autonomy, cooling-system monitoring, and safety. By using coolant-flow feedback to inform vehicle behavior, the disclosed system connects hardware condition monitoring with an autonomous vehicle’s response to a potential fault.
Collaborations
McNamara is associated with CreateAI, Inc. His listed coworker is Thomas Holladay Lind.
Conclusion
Patrick James McNamara’s patent describes a safety-focused approach in which coolant-flow measurements help an autonomous vehicle recognize a cooling-system issue and perform a minimal-risk maneuver.
