Patents by Inventor Matthew K. LUBBERS

Matthew K. LUBBERS has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11381472
    Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses are presented for computer-assisted visualization of network devices. One example involves receiving a plurality of standardized network description files describing a plurality of vehicular communication networks connecting a plurality of electronic control units (ECU) for a vehicle. Each of the plurality of standardized network description files may describe a vehicular communication network in the plurality of vehicular communication networks. Each vehicular communication network may comprise a subset of the plurality of ECUs and one or more network communications paths interconnecting the subset of ECUs. The example can further involve automatically generating, based on the standardized network description files, a visual topology representation of the plurality of vehicular communication networks connecting to the plurality of ECUs.

  • Publication number: 20180273005
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing steering compensation can include determining vehicle operation conditions, determining vehicle operations to perform in order to advance a vehicle along a desired trajectory, and performing the determined vehicle operations. The vehicle operations can include automated braking and torque vectoring. Torque vectoring can be performed using one or more differentials or one or more torque motors, each torque motor configured to apply torque to an individual wheel of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20180154777
    Abstract: A braking control method and device for a vehicle are disclosed. According to certain embodiments, the device may include a controller configured to receive driving environment information from one or more sensors, and determine that emergency braking is warranted based on the driving environment information. The controller may also be configured to activate regenerative braking and friction braking to decelerate the vehicle. The controller may also be configured to monitor rotational speeds of one or more wheels of the vehicle, and adjust an amount of the regenerative braking and an amount of the friction braking based on the rotational speeds of the one or more wheels. The device may further include at least one actuator for applying the regenerative braking and the friction braking.
