EV Charging Infrastructure

6 Patents Sole Inventor
Patent Pending

Autonomous Vehicle Dwell and Charging Scheduler

Joint-feasibility scheduling that binds an autonomous vehicle's mission window to charging-station availability via signed dwell-and-charge credentials, ensuring the vehicle arrives, charges, and departs within mission-critical timing without overrunning the next vehicle's slot.

Patent Pending

Cross-Provider Autonomous EV Charging and Mission Roaming

Roaming protocol that lets an autonomous EV authenticate, charge, and settle at any participating charging network using a portable signed credential, with cryptographic settlement records exchanged across provider boundaries.

Filed April 30, 2026
Patent Pending

Robotic EV Charging Connector with Sensor-Verified Vehicle Coupling

Robotic charging arm that physically couples to an autonomous EV only after multi-sensor verification of vehicle identity, port alignment, and safe-state, producing a signed coupling-event record bound to the charging session.

Patent Pending

Mission-Safe Bidirectional Power Dispatch for Autonomous Electric Fleets

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and vehicle-to-anything (V2X) dispatch governed by a mission-safety predicate so a fleet vehicle never exports power if doing so would violate its next-mission state-of-charge commitment, with signed allocation records for settlement.

Filed May 4, 2026
Patent Pending

Software-Defined Power Routing for EV Charging Hubs

Switch-matrix architecture that dynamically routes converter capacity through any port under signed multi-vehicle service-level commitments, allocating power only when joint-feasibility, site-power envelope, connector compatibility, and isolation/thermal limits are satisfied simultaneously.

Patent Pending

Dynamic Wireless Charging Lanes for Electric Vehicles

Per-segment energization of in-road wireless coil arrays gated by a signed charging-corridor credential, with each coil segment activating only on concurrent satisfaction of credential validity, vehicle-identity match, alignment tolerance, and safety-state clearance.

3 Patents Sole Inventor
Patent Pending

Authenticated Visual Infrastructure Markers for Autonomous Vehicles

Visual markers on roadway, parking, curb, charging, and gate infrastructure that carry a cryptographically authenticated payload an autonomous vehicle reads, verifies, contextually cross-checks, classifies, and uses to gate motion-control, parking, charging, routing, access, and settlement actions.

Patent Pending

Authenticated Parking, Curb, and Charging Space Credentials for Autonomous Vehicles

Authenticated reservation, authorization, exclusivity, dwell-enforcement, conflict-resolution, and settlement of designated parking, curb, loading, pickup, charging, valet, and service spaces — binding operational entitlement to a physical space, a specific vehicle or mission, and a settleable transaction record.
