Publication number: 20240116515Abstract: A method for correlating driving behavior to wear on a vehicle may include identifying a driver of the vehicle and receiving signals generated by a number of sensors built into specific locations on the vehicle. The method may include determining a driving pattern associated with the driver, assessing wear on the vehicle due to one or more wear mechanisms, identifying a correlation between the driving pattern and the assessed wear on the vehicle, and transmitting information associated with the correlation between the driving pattern and the assessed wear on the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Philippe HERROU, Christopher R. CONKLIN, Parker Richard WILLIAMS

Publication number: 20240110800Abstract: A method for assessing driving routes to mitigate wear on a vehicle may include determining a driving route traversed by a vehicle, the driving route including an origin and a destination. The method may include receiving signals generated by a number of sensors built into specific locations on the vehicle, the sensors including at least one vibration sensor. The method may include assessing wear on the vehicle due to one or more wear mechanisms based on the signals. The method may include identifying a correlation between the driving route and the assessed wear on the vehicle, transmitting information associated with the correlation between the driving route and the assessed wear on the vehicle, receiving a routing recommendation based on information about an alternate route, and displaying the routing recommendation.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Philippe HERROU, Christopher R. CONKLIN, Parker Richard WILLIAMS

Patent number: 9355746Abstract: Embodiments relate to built-in testing of an unused element on a chip. An aspect includes concurrently performing on a chip comprising a plurality of chip elements comprising a plurality of active elements, each active element enabled to perform a respective function, and at least one unused element that is disabled from performing the respective function and configured to be selectively enabled as an active element, the respective functions of the respective active elements and a built-in self test (BIST) test of the at least one unused element. Another aspect includes inputting an input test pattern to the unused element. Another aspect includes receiving an output test pattern based on the input test pattern from the unused element. Another aspect includes comparing the input test pattern to the output test pattern. Another aspect includes determining whether the unused element passed or failed the testing based on the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Luiz C. Alves, William J. Clarke, Christopher R. Conklin, William V. Huott, Kevin W. Kark, Thomas J. Knips, K. Paul Muller

Updating settings of a processor core concurrently to the operation of a multi core processor system
Patent number: 8499144Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method for updating the settings of a processor or a processor core, respectively, concurrently to the operation of the respective processor system in which the processor or processor core, respectively, is running. This enables the insertion of new scan chain data and thus enabling the modification of the hardware characteristics of the processor.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2010Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Christopher R. Conklin, Michael F. Fee, Adolf Martens, Walter Niklaus, Scott B. Swaney, Tobias Webel -
