Patent number: 12179629Abstract: A system receives historical vehicle battery data from a gateway device connected to a vehicle. Some vehicles with plug-in rechargeable batteries recommend/require that the vehicle computer be turned off when recharging. Thus, obtaining a current state of charge while a vehicle is charging can be difficult because the vehicle computer can be off. While the vehicle/gateway device is unable to transmit current battery data, the systems estimate a battery charge from the historical data.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2023Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Alexander Thomas Govan, Alvin Wu, Benjamin Chang, Jennifer Zhang, Katherine Lee

Patent number: 12172653Abstract: A system receives vehicle metric data from a gateway device connected to a vehicle. The vehicle gateway device gathers data related to operation of the vehicle and/or location data. The system receives data from multiple vehicles and multiple fleets. The system uses machine learning to identify cohorts for fleets. The system calculates metrics for fleets and benchmarks for the cohorts. The system presents the metrics and benchmarks in a graphical user interface.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2023Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Muhammad Ali Akhtar, Jennifer Julia Zhang, Alvin Wu, Benjamin Chang, Joanne Wang, Katherine Yeonjune Lee

Patent number: 12140445Abstract: A system receives vehicle metric data from a gateway device connected to a vehicle. The vehicle gateway device gathers data related to operation of the vehicle and/or location data. The system receives data from multiple vehicles. The vehicle gateway device gathers vehicle metric data and correlates the metric data with location data. The system presents the correlated data in an interactive map graphical user interface.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2022Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Muhammad Ali Akhtar, Jennifer Julia Zhang, Alvin Wu, Benjamin Chang, Joanne Wang, Katherine Yeonjune Lee

Patent number: 12118831Abstract: An analytics reporting system to perform operations that include: aggregating sensor data collected from a plurality of sensor devices within a database, the sensor data comprising a set of values that correspond with a metric; generating a threshold value based on the set of values that correspond with the metric; accessing a portion of the sensor data based on an identifier associated with the portion of the sensor data; determining the portion of the sensor data transgresses the threshold value; and generating a report that comprises a display of the portion of the sensor data based on the determining that the portion of the sensor data transgresses the threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2023Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Alvin Wu, Muhammad Ali Akhtar, Nishant Raman, Jevon Yeoh, Saranyu Phusit, Joanne Wang, Benjamin Chang, Katherine Lee, Jennifer Julia Zhang

Patent number: 11890962Abstract: A diagnostic service is selectively started at opportune times, such as when the electrical vehicle is initially plugged in. When the electrical vehicle is turned off, there may not be any messages being sent on the communication bus since most vehicle electronic controllers are disabled to conserve power. But, when someone plugs in a charger, there is a surge of bus traffic for a short period of time. The system parses through the bus traffic and looks for a particular communication bus address. The presence of this address can be used as an indicator for an opportune time to start the diagnostic service to confirm whether the electric vehicle is charging or not and to log the state of charge of the electric vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Alexander Thomas Govan, Alvin Wu, Benjamin Chang, Jennifer Zhang, Katherine Lee

Publication number: 20020153833Abstract: A full-color electroluminescent lamp consists of an upper protective film, a light-emitting film, and a bottom protective film. The light-emitting film serving as the light source of the full-color electroluminescent lamp is sandwiched between the upper protective film and the bottom protective film. The light-emitting film at least includes a face electrode substrate, a face electrode layer, a phosphor layer, and a back electrode layer. At least one full-color pattern is formed on one of the inner surfaces of the electroluminescent lamp by full-color printing method (for example, an image might be printed on the inner surface of the upper protective film) and is illuminated by the light-emitting film. This full-color electroluminescent lamp is thinner, provides better graphic resolution, and suffers less brightness loss while emitting light to display the full-color pattern.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2001Publication date: October 24, 2002Inventor: Alvin Wu
