  • Patent number: 11423321
    Abstract: A system and method of determining system status in a vehicle system. The method including collecting, by a computing system, a plurality of data associated with a test specimen and the vehicle system, selecting a relevant data set of the plurality of data, the selecting based on at least one correlation coefficient associated with the plurality of data, and transforming at least a portion of the selected relevant data to form a transformed data set, the transforming based on mathematical properties. The method also includes collecting statistics associated with the selected relevant data set and the transformed data set to form a statistics data set, classifying the selected relevant data set, transformed data set, and the statistics data set; and predicting a status of a system based on the classifying.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11354796
    Abstract: A method of identifying and retrieving component digital images for component fault analysis includes generating a known-fault database of digital images of known faults of a previously analyzed component and corresponding remedial actions. The method also includes accessing the known-fault database with a digital image of a current fault of a new component. The method additionally includes comparing the digital image of the current fault with the digital images in the known-fault database based on a computed target characteristic. The method also includes sorting the digital images in the known-fault database in order based on a magnitude of the computed target characteristic for each respective digital image in the known-fault database relative to the digital image of the current fault. The method further includes outputting the sorted digital images to facilitate correlation of the current fault to a particular known fault and identifying the corresponding remedial action.

  • Patent number: 10465589
    Abstract: Technical solutions are described for selective catalytic reduction diagnosis in an emissions control system or an exhaust system used for treating exhaust gas, such as in a motor vehicle including an internal combustion engine. An example emissions control system includes a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device. The emissions control system further includes a controller that is performs SCR fault diagnosis. The SCR fault diagnosis includes computing a plurality of estimated NH3 storage capacity values (?) of an SCR catalyst of the SCR device. The diagnosis further includes determining a diagnostic parameter of the SCR device using the plurality of estimated NH3 storage capacity values.
