  • Patent number: 11975862
    Abstract: A device receives a data query from a source, the data query associated with a hardware component. The device determines a likelihood that an aircraft of an aircraft entity associated with the data query will require the hardware component by retrieving a plurality of signals received from the aircraft entity that are associated with the hardware component, applying the plurality of signals to a first machine-learned model, and receiving, as output from the first machine-learned model, a likelihood that the aircraft will require the hardware component. The device inputs the likelihood into a second machine-learned model, and receives as output a score corresponding to the data query. The device assigns a rank to the data query based on its score as compared to scores of other data queries of a plurality of data queries, and displays an ordered list of the plurality of data queries.

  • Patent number: 11932241
    Abstract: A driving assist system executes driving assist control for avoiding a collision with a target ahead of a vehicle. The driving assist control operates when the target exists within an assist area. A crossing target is the target crossing a roadway area ahead of the vehicle from a first side toward a second side. The assist area for the crossing target is divided into a plurality of divided assist areas including a first assist area located on the first side as viewed from the vehicle and a second assist area located on the second side as viewed from the vehicle. When the crossing target exists in the second assist area, the driving assist system decreases a control strength of the driving assist control as compared with a case where the crossing target exists in the first assist area.

  • Patent number: 11913795
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of predicting energy use for a route including inputting map data of roads included in K trips in a geographical area, predictors of rate of energy use along the roads, and energy consumption data of the K trips. The method includes dividing each of the roads in the map data for all the trips into segments of length measure ?i; grouping the segments from the trips into a number N of clusters, using an algorithm to build a model predicting the weights Wj based on solving a system of equations, one per trip, assigning the predicted weight applied to the cluster in which the segment was grouped and storing a segment ID with the corresponding cluster ID or predicted rate of energy use Yi to allow prediction of energy use for a route in the geographical area incorporating one or more of the segments.

  • Patent number: 11913190
    Abstract: Provided is a wheel loader capable of reducing erroneous determination of rear wheel lifting. The wheel loader 1 includes a controller 5 for determining a rear wheel lifting state where rear wheels 11B are lifted upwardly. The controller 5 is configured to, when a temporal change rate ? of a bucket operation angle becomes a temporal change rate of a bucket operation angle necessary for a tilt operation of a bucket 23 during an excavation operation and a temporal change rate ? of a vehicle body inclination angle estimated by the controller 5 becomes a temporal change rate of an obliquely upward inclination state of a rear vehicle body with respect to a front vehicle body, turn on a correlation flag indicating a correlation between an operation state of the bucket 23 and an inclination state of a vehicle body to determine a rear wheel lifting.

  • Patent number: 11904879
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus is mounted on a vehicle. The information processing apparatus includes a control unit that is configured to determine whether or not a driver of the vehicle is driving dangerously, and perform, when it is determined that the driver of the vehicle is driving dangerously, a first control process of determining output of a machine mounted on the vehicle to be performed at a second value that is smaller than a first value in a normal state, the first value determined according to first information based on a stroke amount of an accelerator pedal.

  • Patent number: 11874136
    Abstract: A vehicle control system includes a communication circuit, an internal sensor, and a controller connected to the communication circuit and the internal sensor. The controller is configured to detect an impact to a vehicle through the internal sensor, calculate an impulse for the detected impact, estimate a bump shape based on the calculated impulse, match first bump information that represents the estimated bump shape and second bump information acquired from a database by using the communication circuit, and update bump information of the database based on a matching result.
