Patent number: 11995701Abstract: According to certain aspects of the disclosure, a computer-implemented method may be used for determining one or more vehicle recommendations. The method may include receiving data pertaining to a user's internet browsing activity. The received data may be indicative of the user's automotive vehicle preferences. The method may include comparing the received data to a collection of stored vehicle qualities. The method also may include identifying, based on the received data and the comparison of the received data to the collection of stored vehicle qualities, a vehicle characteristic of interest to the user.

Publication number: 20240135395Abstract: A computer-implemented method for using a machine-learning trained predictive engine to predict failures includes receiving electronic prior transaction data corresponding to a plurality of prior successful transactions and a plurality of prior unsuccessful transactions, and training a machine learning predictive engine based on the plurality of prior successful transactions and the plurality of prior unsuccessful transactions. Electronic transaction data may be received, the electronic transaction data being associated with a user, an item, and candidate transaction terms, the electronic transaction data being associated with a candidate transaction. The machine learning predictive engine may determine a likelihood of success of the candidate transaction based on the electronic transaction data, and display the likelihood of success of the candidate transaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Geoffrey DAGLEY, Stephen ANDERSON, Stephen WYLIE, Qiaochu TANG, Micah PRICE, Jason HOOVER, Kristen PRZANO

Publication number: 20240113974Abstract: Mobile management method, system and client. Method includes receiving a DNS query for a host name from an application on client; retrieving reputation data associated with host name from a local cache on client; and determining a policy based on host name and the reputation data. Based on determined policy for the host name, blocking attempted network flows to a host corresponding to host name to produce blocked attempted network flows. Method also includes sending attempted network flow metadata related to the blocked attempted network flows to a collector on client; transmitting the attempted network flow metadata from the collector to a VPN server pool via a VPN tunnel; and producing an anomaly report from the transmitted attempted network flow metadata. The anomaly report includes at least one of anomalies, cohorts, trends, location boundaries, detected network security issues, detected compromised clients and/or optimized network usage.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: MOBILE SONIC, INC.Inventors: Joseph T.

Patent number: 11915204Abstract: A device having extended reality capabilities receives a video feed including one or more video frames depicting an object. The device provides the one or more video frames to a first machine learning model that identifies the object and one or more parts of the object that are depicted in the one or more video frames, and obtains positional tracking information that represents a position and an orientation associated with the object depicted in the one or more video frames relative to a coordinate space. The device identifies a plurality of parts from the one or more parts of the object that are depicted in the one or more video frames and determines, using one or more second machine learning models, information regarding the plurality of parts and information regarding one or more replacement parts.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Geoffrey Dagley, Jason Hoover, Micah Price, Olalekan Awoyemi, Qiaochu Tang, Stephen Wylie, Sunil Vasisht

Patent number: 9789756Abstract: A hybrid vehicle includes at least one axle, an energy storage device disposed within the hybrid vehicle, a fuel consuming engine, a power boosting feature, and a controller. The fuel consuming engine is operably connected to selectively provide power to at least one of the energy storage device and the at least one axle. The engine is capable of providing at least the mean but less than a peak power to drive the hybrid vehicle over a typical route. The power boosting feature is configured to provide the fuel consuming engine with additional power to achieve a desired power to accelerate the hybrid vehicle. The controller is adapted to selectively control power flow to the one or more axles from one or more of the energy storage device, the engine, and the power boosting feature to achieve the desired power.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2014Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: PALO ALTO RESEARCH CENTER INCORPORATEDInventors: David E.

Patent number: 5840571Abstract: A Process using anaerobic, aerobic, and cometabolizing bacteria to biodegrade halogenated organic compounds in an unsaturated zone lyng between the ground surface and the underlying water table is disclosed. The process includes contacting in situ an electron donor compound with dehalogenating bacteria indigenous in or added thereto in the unsaturated soil zone which is between the ground surface and underlying water table. Further the halogenated component compounds also react with the bacteria and electron donor; thus, stimulating biodegradation while cycling between aerobic and anaerobic as well as cometabolic environments during the process.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 1995Date of Patent: November 24, 1998Assignee: E.
