Teg , great finds .I spent a couple of hours today at the patent repository . The librarian there showed me to the U S Patent main page , We can read patent applications, patents and with a free download of T I F F view the drawings .BTW it seams that there are draconian changes like very old ideas being re patented.

I took it to mean that aeroscott was browsing all sorts of patents (not just ones from Tesla) and ran across many that seemed like "obvious and old ideas". The reality is that it can still be patented if no one bothered to patent it before, and also if you have some sort of novel twist on an old idea you can patent that too. It can be frustrating looking at patents.
One example I saw once was a patent for a laser pointer as a cat exercise toy. This was after plenty of people had been using them that way for a while.

teg, thats what i was thinking .vfx,great find on patent down load site. i needed that.i can't remember any write ups on patent changes except on tv about now being able to patent life! But talking with people that have gone threw the patent process and my observations. A old motor builder friend said that patent apps are now granted with little scrutiny,let them sort it out in court! btw just spent a few days reading about a open source 100 kw 3 phase motor controller. this is something I wanted to do for 28 years.parts cost 2500.00, laptop programed,

Amost certainly. I think the coolant "snakes" its way through the ESS, and those external tubes join a chain of internal tubes.

Oh! From the patent:
Very interesting!
Well, the patent itself has not been mentioned that I recall. But a year ago, when Tesla announced they were beefing up the power electronics in the Roadster and hinted they would have to go to a liquid cooled motor they did say that this was technology coming out of the Whitestar project.
I am assuming this patent covers what they plan to put in the Model S. Or at least planned in some previous design.
Poor Peng...
Freepatentsonline finds 4 pending applications:
These are patents assigned to Tesla Motors, Inc.
IPWatchDog has this to say about pending patents search:
It is possible that TM has filled additional 11 patents that are not yet published as pending. I see no reason to advertise what they are trying to patent before they get any legal protection for it.
- 0021385: Electric Vehicle Communication Interface
- 0272661: Liquid cooled rotor assembly
- 0023053: METHOD OF DEACTIVATING FAULTY BATTERY CELLS
- 0023056: BATTERY PACK THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
and two granted patents: - 7404720: Electro mechanical connector for use in electrical applications
- 7433794: Mitigation of propagation of thermal runaway in a multi-cell battery pack
These are patents assigned to Tesla Motors, Inc.
