Patent number: 11945502Abstract: Systems and methods for coordinating steering controls between towing vehicles and towed vehicles provide more cohesive parking experiences during towing events, including bidirectional charging towing events. The towed vehicle may be controlled to provide assistive parking steering maneuvers to assist the towing vehicle when parking during the towing event. The assistive parking steering maneuver may include maneuvering a drive wheel of the towed vehicle either toward or away from a detected curb or detected traffic, for example.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Stuart C. Salter, Kenneth Patrick McHugh, Peter Phung, David Brian Glickman, Paul Kenneth Dellock

Patent number: 9038187Abstract: Systems and methods for calculating threat scores for individuals within an organization or domain are provided. Aspects of the invention relate to computer-implemented methods that form a predictive threat rating for user accounts. In one implementation, a first threat score representing a first time period may be calculated. The first threat score may be compared with aspects of the same user accounts for a second time period. Weighting schemes may be applied to certain activities, controls, and/or user accounts. Further aspects relate to apparatuses configured to execute methods for ranking individual user accounts. Certain embodiments may not block transmissions that violate predefine rules, however, indications of such improper transmission may be considered when constructing a threat rating. Blocked transmissions enforced upon a user account may also be received. Certain activity, such as accessing the internet, may be monitored for the presence of a security threat and/or an ethics threat.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2010Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Brian McHugh, Ronald Ramcharran, Peter J. Langsam, Timothy C. Metzger, Dan P. Antilley, Jonathan W. Deats

Patent number: 7637009Abstract: An approach is provided for fabricating probe elements for probe card assemblies. Embodiments of the invention include using a reusable substrate, a reusable substrate with layered probe elements and a reusable substrate with a passive layer made of a material that does not adhere well to probe elements formed thereon. Examples of probe elements include, without limitation, a cantilever probe element, a vertically-oriented probe element, and portions of probe elements, e.g., a beam element of a cantilever probe element. Probe elements, or portions of probe elements, may be formed using any of a number of electroforming or plating processes such as, for example, plating using masking techniques, e.g., using lithographic techniques such as photolithography, stereolithography, X-ray lithography, etc.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2007Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: SV Probe Pte.

Publication number: 20070200576Abstract: A probe for a probe card assembly is provided. The probe has a post structure supported by a substrate, a plurality of stacked beam elements disposed on the post structure, and a tip attached to a surface of a top beam element, of the plurality of stacked beam elements, that opposes the substrate. The tip is configured to be electrically connected to a semiconductor device to be tested. The probe may be bent so that the tip is further away from the substrate than the height the post structure. The effective maximum force exerted by the tips of a multi-beamed probe against, for example, DUT pads may be increased when compared to prior probes.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2007Publication date: August 30, 2007Inventors: Edward Laurent, Edward Malantonio, Richard Sadler, Bahadir Tunaboylu, Brian McHugh, Dov Chartarifsky
