Abstract: A machine monitoring method preferably includes receiving packets, such as packets supplied to a physical machine, virtually simulating physical machine operation, and analyzing the virtual outputs of the virtual simulation. Virtually simulating physical machine operation is preferably performed based on the received packets, such as using a digital duplicate of the physical machine. Analyzing the virtual outputs can include, for example, determining simulated states of one or more aspects, such as physical components, of the physical machine, and/or determining that one or more events associated with physical machine operation have occurred. The method can optionally include, for example, transmitting the analysis results to a remote device, determining the digital duplicate of the physical machine, determining an analysis model for the virtual outputs of the digital duplicate, determining digital component modules, and/or determining digital analysis modules.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method for determining a vehicle malfunction includes receiving audio data from at least one microphone disposed on a vehicle, inputting the audio data into an analysis module having a trained model, and obtaining, from the analysis module, a hypothesized vehicular malfunction condition based on the audio data. The audio data may corresponding to sounds generated by the vehicle, and the trained model may associate various audio data and corresponding vehicular malfunction conditions. The method can further include inputting sensor data into the analysis module having the trained model, the sensor data from at least one sensor disposed on the vehicle. The trained model can further associates various sensor data, along with the various audio sounds, and the corresponding vehicular malfunction conditions, and the hypothesized vehicular malfunction condition obtained from the analysis module can be based on the audio data and the sensor data.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for distributing multi-processor workload based on sensor data. A method for managing processing workload within a vehicle includes receiving at least one measurement corresponding to a first processor of a plurality of processors installed in the vehicle; determining that the at least one measurement has satisfied a threshold; identifying a second processor of the plurality of processors installed in the vehicle, based on a type of the second processor or a measurement of an environment associated with the second processor; and distributing workload from the first processor to the second processor.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic adaptive headlight control in a vehicle are disclosed. The systems and methods can detect one or more conditions, such as presence of a nearby object and/or poor visibility. The headlight can account for the one or more conditions by dynamically and automatically adjusting the total intensity of light output from the headlight, creating one or more different patterns of intensity of light, emitting different colors of light, or a combination thereof. In some examples, the headlight can include a plurality of independently controlled light emitters or a liquid crystal element. In some examples, one or more currents and/or duty cycle values can be adjusted. In some examples, the headlight can be divided into a plurality of sections, such that each section can emit different wavelengths (e.g., colors) of light.
