Summary of Recent Patents by GM Global Technology Operations LLC:

- Power Control System for Electric Vehicle: The patent describes a power control system for an electric vehicle that includes multiple power inverters connected to a battery system. A controller determines the switching frequency and phase offsets for the electric machines, allowing for efficient power control and distribution.

- Stator for Electric Machine: The patent application describes an electric machine with a housing and a stator core. A thermal bridge made of a non-magnetic material connects the stator core to the inner surface of the housing, allowing for efficient heat transfer and cooling of the electric machine.

- Thermally Conductive Bracket: The patent application describes a thermally conductive bracket designed for use in a vehicle. The bracket facilitates the transfer of heat from a busbar to a cold plate, improving cooling efficiency for multiple battery cells connected to the busbar.

- All-Solid-State Electrochemical Battery: The patent application describes an all-solid-state electrochemical battery with a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a solid-state electrolyte layer. The positive electrode contains a positive electroactive material and a solid-state electrolyte material, allowing for improved battery performance and longevity.

- Electrode for Electrochemical Cell: The patent application describes an electrode for an electrochemical cell that cycles lithium ions. The electrode contains a silicon-containing electroactive material and three different types of carbon additives, improving the performance and stability of the electrochemical cell.

- Vehicle Diagnostic Methods and Systems: The patent application is about vehicle diagnostic methods and systems that provide step-by-step troubleshooting guidance. The goal is to provide predictive troubleshooting guidance to help efficiently resolve vehicle faults.

- Floating 3D Image Display: The patent application describes a system for creating a floating 3D image display inside a vehicle for multiple passengers. The system includes a display that projects a multiplexed hologram with multiple 3D holographic images, providing an immersive visual experience for passengers.

- Tester for Electrical Components: The abstract describes a tester for electrical components that has a database of testing specifications. The tester identifies the connected component, retrieves its testing specifications, and outputs an indication of the test result.

Notable Applications:

- Power control system for efficient power distribution in electric vehicles. - Stator with thermal bridge for improved cooling of electric machines. - Thermally conductive bracket for efficient heat transfer in vehicle battery systems. - All-solid-state electrochemical battery for improved performance and longevity. - Electrode design for enhanced stability and performance of electrochemical cells. - Vehicle diagnostic methods and systems for efficient troubleshooting. - Floating 3D image display for immersive visual experience in vehicles. - Tester for electrical components with database of testing specifications.
