  • Patent number: 11900645
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems, methods, and computer program products for controlling an object. An example method can comprise (a) obtaining video data of the object and (b) performing motion analysis on the video data to generate modified video data. The method can further comprise (c) using artificial intelligence (AI) to identify a set of features in the modified video data. The set of features may be indicative of a predicted state of the object. The AI may be been trained offline on historical training data. The method can further comprise (d) using the predicted state to determine a control signal and (e) transmitting, in real-time, the control signal to the object to adjust or maintain a state of the object in relation to the predicted state. Operations (a) to (d) can be performed without contacting the object.

  • Patent number: 10030602
    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling an internal combustion engine on a cycle-by-cycle basis. The method includes: maintaining training data used to identify a mapping function for the engine; populating a buffer with adaptive data for a given cylinder, where the adaptive data are measures of the inputs and the output of the mapping function that were captured during a number of recent operating cycles of the given cylinder; combining training data for the mapping function with the adaptive data; identifying the mapping function from the combined data set using a weighted least squares method; predicting a combustion feature of the given cylinder in the next cycle using the mapping function and measures of the inputs during the present cycle; and controlling the engine based in part on the predicted combustion feature of the given cylinder in the next cycle using one or more actuators.

  • Patent number: 8132713
    Abstract: System and methods for generating one more tests to be performed on a payment device are provided. A vendor selects one or more features to be included in his payment device and provides that information to the system. The system analyzes the information and provides a list of tests to be performed on the reference payment device. In addition, the system also provides a list of one or more reference payment device configurations provided for testing purposes.
