Publication number: 20230326259Abstract: The disclosure generally pertains to systems and methods for contact center channel merging. In an example method, a first inbound communication associated with a vehicle event may be received from a first vehicle component of a vehicle via a first communication medium, the first inbound communication including a first identifier. A second inbound communication associated with the vehicle event may be received from a second vehicle component of the vehicle via a second communication medium, the second inbound communication including a second identifier. It may be determined that a first time associated with the first inbound communication and a second time associated with the second inbound communication are within a predetermined threshold, and that the first identifier and the second identifier are both associated with the vehicle. At least one notification may be sent based in part on an aggregation of the first inbound communication and the second inbound communication.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2022Publication date: October 12, 2023Applicant: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Matt Denninger, Devraj Singh, Erin Colpaert, Dinesh Kusuma, David Brennan, Deepak Singh

Patent number: 9614279Abstract: A system for calibrating an array antenna comprises a calibration antenna at a first location relative to an array antenna, a first set of calibration files, and a processor. Based on received far field data from a far field data test that was run on the array antenna, using the calibration antenna, the processor is configured to generate a model predicting the actual location of the calibration antenna relative to the array antenna and to generate predicted far field data based on the model. The model is adjusted, if needed, by comparing the predicted far field data with the received far field data. Based on the model, new calibration files are generated that substantially correlate to the actual location of the calibration antenna.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2014Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Thomas J. McDevitt, David A. Brennan, Curtis Combs, Christopher A. Hamner, Macdonald J. Andrews, Joseph D. Corn
