Patent number: 11214264Abstract: One way to improve fuel efficiency of a vehicle is to detect the vehicle operational shortcomings related to fuel consumption by determining whether fuel used during operation of the vehicle is normal fuel use or wasted fuel use. Considerations of idling, speeding and inappropriate gear shifts are some ways to measure the amount of fuel wasted due to operator shortcomings. Communicating this information to the operator in real-time so adjustments can be made will improve vehicle fuel efficiency. These techniques are applicable to tracking employment of other driving best practices as well.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2019Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: VNOMICS CORP.Inventors: David Charles Chauncey, Edward Charles McCarthy, Peter Joseph Roth, Nicholas Allen Elliott

Patent number: 10062301Abstract: An on-vehicle system for assessing an operator's efficiency of a vehicle, include sensors, an audiovisual display device, a processor and a data storage. The sensors measure or detect conditions of components of the vehicle, and convert the detected conditions into analog or digital information. The data storage stores program instructions, the analog or digital information from the sensors, and other data. The program instructions, when executed by the processor, control the on-vehicle system to determine a state of the vehicle within a vehicle's environment based on the analog or digital information from the sensors, determine whether one or more of a predetermined set of behaviors has occurred based on the determined state of a vehicle, assess performance of the determined one or more of the predetermined set of behaviors, and present the operator, via the audiovisual display device, a feedback based on the assessment.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2014Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Vnomics Corp.Inventors: David C. Chauncey, Edward McCarthy

Patent number: 8924138Abstract: One way to improve fuel efficiency of a vehicle is to improve the usage of various gears. One way to measure the amount of fuel wasted due to suboptimal gear shifting is to compare the actual gear used for various driving conditions with the optimal gear used. Such comparisons may be combined with determinations of amount of fuel used to determine how much fuel has been lost due to suboptimal shifting. These techniques are applicable to tracking employment of other driving best practices as well.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2011Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Vnomics Corp.Inventors: David Charles Chauncey, Edward Charles McCarthy, Peter Joseph Roth, Nicholas Allen Elliott

Patent number: RE46993Abstract: An Asset Health Management system monitors and analyzes the health of a component of an asset. A sensor network, with one or more sensors operably coupled to an asset component, collects sensor data associated with operating characteristics of the asset component. A processing node (a System Health Node) includes one or more modules, i.e., software functions, and one or more configuration files. The processing node processes the sensor data with the one or more modules according to the one or more configuration files and determines health information corresponding to the asset component. The one or more modules receive and transmit input and output data, respectively, via data streams that organize the input and output data, e.g., according to time stamps and that may be cached. The health information may be displayed on user interfaces and/or may be transmitted over an information network to external systems.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2014Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: Vnomics Corp.Inventors: Jason Winnebeck, Michael G.
