  • Patent number: 11227378
    Abstract: A system for generating training datasets is provided. The system uses base images to generate a large number of images that include non-defective and defective characteristics. The generated images are then used to train a model that may be used to predict defects in real world images of a manufacturing process.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20050015380
    Abstract: The document proposes a method for communication between a plurality of local applications and a diagnostic application in a motor vehicle, where data are transmitted from the local applications to the diagnostic application using a transmission medium, and a corresponding communication module having the steps of event-oriented provision of the data by the local applications, acceptance of the data by a communication module when initiated by the event-oriented provision of the data, management and conditioning of the data by the communication module, and transfer of the conditioned data from the communication module to the central application, with the conditioning of all the data accepted from the local applications, within the communication module, comprising data formatting into a data format which is determined by the central application. The method and the communication module are particularly suitable for performing an onboard system diagnosis in motor vehicles.

  • Patent number: 6226760
    Abstract: A fault diagnostic apparatus for the recognition of defective components of a technical system with fault-relevant process variables contains a diagnostic module which has a checklist and a table of predetermined conditions (in memory). The conditions are determined by a component fault simulation in a generated model of the operation of the system. The checklist provides a primary process variable and secondary process variables affected thereby, and the table of conditions gives for each combination of fault-relevant process variables, the corresponding components suspected of being faulty. During the operation of the system, the diagnostic module detects the condition values of the primary process variables and, upon the occurrence of a fault condition therein, activates a diagnostic process in which it compares the actual condition combination with the one stored in the table of conditions.
