Patent number: 11963065Abstract: Described herein are examples of a system that processes information describing movement of a vehicle at a time related to a potential collision to reliably determine whether a collision occurred and/or one or more characteristics of the collision. In response to obtaining information regarding a potential collision, data describing movement of the vehicle before and/or after a time associated with the potential collision is analyzed to determine whether the collision occurred and/or to determine one or more collision characteristic(s). The analysis may be carried out at least in part using a trained classifier that classifies the vehicle movement data into one or more classes, where at least some the classes are associated with whether a collision occurred and/or one or more characteristics of a collision. If a collision is determined to be likely, one or more actions may be triggered based on the characteristic(s) of the collision.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Geotab Inc.Inventors: Paul Stobbe, Stefania Talpa, Daniel Jacob Lewis, Jorge González Núñez, Ivan Lequerica Roca, Luis Alfonso Hernández Gómez

Publication number: 20180035382Abstract: A mobile user terminal and method for activating/deactivating geopositioning devices of the mobile user terminal in moving vehicles, the mobile user terminal comprising accelerometers but no gyroscopes. The method detects whether a geopositioning device is located in a moving vehicle by using data of acceleration signals extracted only from the accelerometers and metrics calculated from an estimated variation of angle between successive acceleration signals. The method further comprises identifying at least one, short-time or long-time, probe pattern related to the situation of the moving vehicle, the probe pattern using signals and measures exclusively derived from the tri-axial accelerometers, comprising the data of acceleration signals and the calculated metrics. If the situation corresponds to the mobile user terminal moving in the moving vehicle, the geopositioning device is activated.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2017Publication date: February 1, 2018Inventors: Eduardo David Fonseca Montero, Ruben Fernandez Pozo, Luis Alfonso Hernandez Gomez, Rafael Pinero Jimenez, Victor Manuel Garcia Munoz

Publication number: 20160223682Abstract: A mobile user terminal and method for activating/deactivating geopositioning devices in moving vehicles, wherein the detection of the geopositioning device located in a moving vehicle is based on data from low-energy consumption sensors provided by the mobile user terminal. If the mobile user terminal is located in the moving vehicle, at least one probe pattern related to a situation of the moving vehicle is identified and based on the identified probe pattern and data from low-energy consumption sensors, it is verified either that the situation corresponds to the mobile user terminal riding in the moving vehicle, and then the geopositioning device is activated, or that the mobile user terminal is stopped in the moving vehicle, and then the geopositioning device is deactivated. The steps of detecting and identifying the moving vehicle situation, performed by the mobile user terminal, use short-time and long-time probes.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2016Publication date: August 4, 2016Inventors: Ruben FERNANDEZ POZO, Luis Alfonso HERNANDEZ GOMEZ, David LOPEZ MECO, Lorenzo HORTIGUELA MARTIN, Eguzki ASTIZ LEZAUN

Publication number: 20080047917Abstract: A side loading rack for holding multiple components, which rack includes a rigid open frame, a matrix of side loading storage bins and a flexible curtain for protecting the contents of the bins from dust and contamination. The flexible curtain drops down from the top of the frame and includes multiple spaced guide assemblies, the ends of which are movable within guide tracks located on vertical members of the rigid frame. A flexible strap attached to the top of the curtain is used to affect vertical movement of the curtain.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2006Publication date: February 28, 2008Applicant: BRADFORD COMPANYInventors: Alfonso Hernandez, Donald J.

Patent number: 6535099Abstract: The present invention relates to cores and coils for electrical transformers in which lateral walls of either Wescore or toroidal type cores are manufactured by winding strips of different heights or only one strip whose width reduces gradually, so that the lateral walls form an angle relative to the core upper wall. The corresponding coil is manufactured following the core pattern, on which core the coil will be placed or wound. The use of the cores and coils of the present invention achieves substantial savings in materials used to manufacture electrical transformers, while the resulting characteristics and electrical losses are improved, with load and with no-load.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2000Date of Patent: March 18, 2003Inventor: Alfonso Hernandez Cruz
