Patent number: 11982574Abstract: A protection system for an electromagnetic relay mounted on a vehicle is configured to protect the electromagnetic relay from causing a coupling failure due to freezing of the electromagnetic relay. The system includes a temperature detector, a cooler, and a control unit. The temperature detector sequentially measures an ambient temperature of a location in which the electromagnetic relay is disposed and outputs information on a change in the ambient temperature. The cooler cools an electric power line coupled to a fixing terminal of the electromagnetic relay. The control unit activates the cooler to cool the electric power line in a case where the control unit determines that the electromagnetic relay has a possibility of freezing on the basis of the information on the change in the ambient temperature from the temperature detector.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventor: Yukio Karasawa

Patent number: 11979521Abstract: Data stream based event sequence anomaly detection for mobility customer fraud analysis is presented herein. A system obtains a sequence of events comprising respective modalities of communication that correspond to a subscriber identity associated with a communication service—the sequence of events having occurred within a defined period. Based on defined classifiers representing respective fraudulent sequences of events, the system determines, via a group of machine learning models corresponding to respective machine learning processes, whether the sequence of events satisfies a defined condition with respect to likelihood of representing a fraudulent sequence of events of the respective fraudulent sequences of events. In response to the sequence of events being determined to satisfy the defined condition, the system sends, via a user interface of the system, a notification indicating that the sequence of events has been determined to represent the fraudulent sequence of events.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Ryan Steckel, Ana Armenta, Prince Paulraj, Chih Chien Huang

Patent number: 11975653Abstract: In a case where a person moves away in a longitudinal direction from the vicinity of a vehicle, a condition for generating a warning is satisfied due to a change in a speed in a transverse direction. Thus, a warning system generates an erroneous warning. In order to solve this problem, there are proposed a target detection system for a vehicle and a target detection method for a vehicle, both of which are capable of computing a final risk level, taking into consideration not only results of recomputing a time-to-collision and an impact point, but also the presence or absence of a target that is detected by a camera sensor. The time-to-collision and the impact point are recomputed, taking into consideration a change in a speed in a transverse direction that occurs when the target moves in the longitudinal direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: HYUNDAI MOBIS CO., LTD.Inventor: Eun Seok Kang

Patent number: 11961339Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to computing platforms that utilize machine learning to reduce false positive/negative collision output generation. A computing platform may apply machine learning algorithms on received data to generate a collision output. In response to generating the collision output indicating a collision, the computing platform may identify a data collection location. If the data collection location is within a predetermined radius of a false positive collection location, the computing platform may modify the collision output to indicate a non-collision. If the data collection location is not within the predetermined radius, the computing platform may compute a score using telematics data and compare the score to a predetermined threshold. If the score does not exceed the predetermined threshold, the computing platform may modify the collision output to indicate a non-collision.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: ALLSTATE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Venu Madhav Tammali, Kyle Patrick Schmitt, Jeremy Deram

Patent number: 11955001Abstract: One or more devices may obtain traffic data, such as video from intersection cameras, point cloud data from Light Detection and Ranging (or “LiDAR”) sensors, and so on. Metrics may be calculated from the traffic data. For each frame, the metrics may be analyzed to detect whether a near miss/collision occurs between each object in the frame (such as motorized or non-motorized vehicles, pedestrians, and so on) and each of the other objects in the frame. These metrics may be analyzed to evaluate whether or not a group of conditions are met. If the group of conditions are met, a near miss/collision may be detected. This may be recorded in the metrics for the objects involved. In some implementations, one or more indicators may be added to the traffic data and/or to one or more visualizations generated using the metrics, the traffic data, the structured data, and so on.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: GridMatrix, Inc.Inventor: Nicholas D'Andre
