  • Publication number: 20250118116
    Abstract: A system and method for efficiently determining a diagnostic protocol used by a vehicle under service and instantiating service appropriately. The diagnostic protocol is checked for expected electrical behaviors exhibited at the pins of a diagnostic port of a vehicle. If the expected behaviors are observed, a first protocol is designated for use. If the expected behaviors are not observed, other protocols are test for appropriate designation.

  • Publication number: 20250118852
    Abstract: Battery arrays are provided for traction battery packs. An exemplary battery array may include a first cell stack subassembly including a first split dividing wall member, and a second cell stack subassembly including a second split dividing wall member. The first split dividing wall member and the second split dividing wall member cooperate to establish a dividing wall assembly between the first cell stack subassembly and the second cell stack subassembly. The dividing wall assembly can function to both provide the necessary tensile structure for maintaining battery cell compression and thermally isolate the adjacent cell stack subassemblies from one another.

  • Patent number: 12271870
    Abstract: Placing an event into a particular cluster can allow various inferences about the event. A new payment transaction that looks similar to a previously identified cluster of mostly fraudulent payment transactions, for example, may be higher risk. The present disclosure includes structural data improvements to the way that online clustering of events (which may include web events and not just payment transactions) occurs. A new event can be classified into a particular segment very quickly using feature table searching, which can allow for better decision making when a short timeframe is required (e.g. transaction processing, online advertising, etc.).

  • Patent number: 12267582
    Abstract: A system is disclosed that includes an image sensor, a depth sensor, and at least one processor. The image sensor acquires images within a first field-of-view. The depth sensor includes a plurality of photosensitive cells that acquires distance information within a second field-of-view. The second field-of-view at least partially overlaps the first field-of-view. The at least one processor is programmed to transition from a first mode of operation to a second mode of operation in response to satisfaction of a specified criteria based on object information associated with the distance information for an object within the second field-of-view.
