Patent number: 9014940Abstract: Vehicle mass is estimated in a hybrid motor vehicle. Upon determination of a significant change in vehicle mass, adjustments are made to control of the regenerative braking systems and to energy storage levels to improve fuel efficiency. Upon determination of an increase in vehicle mass, the amount of braking force applied to the vehicle by the regenerative braking system in response to brake pedal movement is increased in order to capture more braking energy before friction braking is used.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2013Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection AgencyInventor: Kevin Andrew Newman

Publication number: 20140298465Abstract: The claimed subject matter is directed to the use of an application reputation service to assist users with minimizing their computerized machines' exposure to and infection from malware. Specifically, the claimed subject matter provides a method and system of an application reputation service that contains the reputations for elements that are known to be non-malicious as well as those known to be malicious. One embodiment of the claimed subject matter is implemented as a method to determine the reputation of an element (e.g., an application). When a user attempts to install or execute a new application, the Application Reputation Service is queried by the user's machine with a set of identities for the element. The Application Reputation Service determines the reputation of the application by referencing a knowledge base of known reputations and returns an indication (e.g., an overall rating, or a flag) of how safe that application would be to install and run on the user's computer.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2014Publication date: October 2, 2014Inventors: Geoff Hulten, Paul Steve Rehfuss, Ron Franczyk, Christopher A. Meek, John Scarrow, Andrew Newman

Patent number: 8646038Abstract: Systems, methods, and/or techniques (“tools”) that relate to an automated service for blocking malware hosts are described herein. In different implementations, the tools receive network addresses identifying hosts that are discovered to contain malware. The tools also provide the network addresses to a collection and storage service. Other components provided by the tools receive the network addresses from, for example, a plurality of reporting clients. These components may aggregate the network addresses across the reporting clients, and store instances of the malware and associated malware addresses.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2006Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Anthony Blumfield, Ronald Franczyk, Andrew Newman, Anatoly Koretsky
