  • Patent number: 12013306
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the teachings herein include an apparatus for diagnosing bypass valve failure in an electric supercharger with a motor and an electric compressor comprising: a bypass valve on a bypass line branching from an intake line with the electric supercharger; and a control unit which assesses the vehicle-state information to determine whether failure criteria of a bypass valve start are satisfied. If the failure criteria are satisfied, the control unit transmits ‘open’ or ‘close’ control instructions to the bypass valve and transmits, to the electric supercharger, a specific rotational-speed target value for determining whether the bypass valve is in the normal open state or the normal closed state, thereby determining whether the bypass valve is subject to stuck-open failure or stuck-closed failure.

  • Patent number: 12014621
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for on-device storage at a mobile bug of data of a one-way communications session where quality deteriorates. In an embodiment, a mobile bug receives a request to establish a one-way communications session, and responsively transmits data to a database for storage while refraining from storing the transmitted data subsequent to the transmission of the data. The mobile bug detects a deterioration in the one-way communications session that prevents, at least in part, the transmission of the data. Responsive to detecting the deterioration, while the deterioration is detected, the mobile bug stores the data in an encrypted format. The mobile bug detects a request for the data stored at the mobile bug, and responsively transmits the data to the database and deletes the data from the mobile bug.

  • Patent number: 12014745
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments enable converting audio signals captured in various formats by various capture devices into a limited number of formats that can be processed by an audio codec (e.g., an Immersive Voice and Audio Services (IVAS) codec). In an embodiment, a simplification unit of the audio device receives an audio signal captured by one or more audio capture devices coupled to the audio device. The simplification unit determines whether the audio signal is in a format that is supported/not supported by an encoding unit of the audio device. Based on the determining, the simplification unit, converts the audio signal into a format that is supported by the encoding unit. In an embodiment, if the simplification unit determines that the audio signal is in a spatial format, the simplification unit can convert the audio signal into a spatial “mezzanine” format supported by the encoding.
