  • Systems and methods to selectively activate TPMS learning mode operations in a vehicle
    Patent number: 12233672
    Abstract: This disclosure generally pertains to systems and methods that guard against information piracy by selective activation of tire pressure sensor learning operations in a vehicle. An example method can include receiving, by a processor in a vehicle, a sensor signal from a wheel movement sensor provided in a wheel of the vehicle. The processor may evaluate the sensor signal and detect a tire-changing operation. The tire-changing operation may be detected, for example, based on a major surface of the wheel coming in contact with ground or determining that an angular displacement of a major surface of the wheel exceeds a threshold angle. The processor may then enable a learning mode of operation that can include a wireless pairing of a tire pressure sensor in the wheel to a tire pressure monitoring system of the vehicle. The processor disables the learning mode of operation after a period of time.

  • Suspension system for an off-road vehicle utilizing hydraulically coupled remote mounted springs
    Patent number: 12233677
    Abstract: A system and methods are provided for a suspension system of an off-road vehicle that allows the springs to be mounted remotely, in any location on the vehicle, enabling the use of spring sizes, spring rates, motion ratios, and damping profiles that would be impractical with traditional suspension designs. The suspension system includes a hydraulic cylinder coupled between a suspension component and a chassis, in lieu of a conventional spring. The hydraulic cylinder is in fluid communication with another, second hydraulic cylinder, by way of a hydraulic hose. The second hydraulic cylinder presses against a suspension spring that is in contact with a fixed spring stop, thereby transferring spring forces to the wheel. Alternatively, the spring stop may comprise a control actuator that moves, enabling active control over spring load.

  • Dynamic radio architecture beam pattern control
    Patent number: 12238537
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for dynamically adjusting broadcast beam patterns of a wavefront emitted by an antenna array based on the types of devices communicatively coupled to the base station associated with the antenna array. The broadcast beam patterns can be adjusted by modifying the broadcast mode or at least one phase, amplitude, or power of the at least one antenna associated with the base station. Adjusting the beam pattern, for example between multiple beams and a single unified beam, based on device types can improve the quality of service for the devices and reduce the processing burden of the base station.

  • Systems and methods for implementing transparent end-to-end network public-key encryption
    Patent number: 12238204
    Abstract: A network packet can be received at a host and it can be determined if such packet has a valid cryptographic public key for a destination host. If there is no known valid cryptographic public key, it is determined whether the network packet is a first network packet sent to the destination host, and if so, a queue is designated for network packets addressed to the destination host and a key management server is queried for a valid cryptographic public key associated with the destination host. Otherwise, the network packet is placed in a queue designated for the destination host until a valid cryptographic public key associated with the destination host becomes available. Upon a valid cryptographic public key associated with the destination host becoming available, the network packet is processed, encrypted and sent to the destination host.

  • Methods and apparatus for a window-metric rule
    Patent number: 12238374
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for a window-metric rule for return path data (RPD). In some examples, a media monitor is to determine a first count of a number of devices in a first household that reported RPD for a first day, and compare the first count to a current window-metric, the current window-metric associated with a window of time for the first household, the window of time associated with a content provider and having N number of days. In some examples, the media monitor is also to exclude the RPD from the first household for the first day when the first count does not satisfy the current window-metric, and generate a media exposure report using the RPD from the first household for the first day when the first count satisfies the current window-metric, independent of if the first household has heartbeat data available.
