Abstract: A wheel motor compensation system is for a vehicle. The vehicle has a wheel motor and a tire coupled to the wheel motor. The system includes a hybrid wireless tire sensor (HWTS) coupled to an interior of the tire, a processor electrically connected to the wheel motor, and a memory. The memory has instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including gathering real time data with the HWTS, and utilizing the real time data to compensate the wheel motor so that preferred torque is applied to the tire.

Abstract: A theft detection system for a vehicle is provided. The theft detection system includes a hybrid wireless tire sensor (HWTS) coupled to an interior of a tire of the vehicle, a processor, and a memory. The memory has instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including detecting a change in voltage across the HWTS responsive to a change in deformation of the tire, and determining, based on the change in deformation of the tire, if a theft is occurring.

Abstract: An adaptive control system is for a vehicle having an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS). The system includes a hybrid wireless tire sensor (HWTS) coupled to an interior of a tire of the vehicle, a processor electrically connected to the ADAS, and a memory. The memory has instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including gathering real time data with the HWTS, and utilizing the real time data with the ADAS to adaptively control the vehicle.

Abstract: A system for and method of automatically providing access credentials to employees based upon the time and location of the employee when the request was made are provided. The system and method also control the provision of access credentials to an employee by using the employment status and role of the employee to determine whether the employee is authorized to receive the requested access credentials.

Abstract: Locating systems and methods for wireless seat belt monitoring in vehicles with removable or reconfigurable seats are provided herein. An example remote transceiver can be centrally located on a seat that is configured to be rearranged within a vehicle. The remote transceiver can include a processor and memory for storing instructions that include a unique code identifying the remote transceiver. The processor executes the instructions to receive low power signals from transmitters within an interior of the vehicle, determine received signal strength values of the low power signals. The received signal strength values are used by the vehicle receiver to determine a location of the remote transceiver within the vehicle.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for diagnosing a shock absorber coupled to a vehicle tire. In one example, a sensor of a tire pressure measurement system coupled inside a tire is used to measure a tire pressure as well as an oscillatory behavior of the tire. A state of health of a shock absorber coupled to the tire is estimated based on the oscillatory behavior.

Abstract: Optimum Inventory Management is important in a variety of applications ranging from managing stocks of consumer perishables of a supermarket chain to managing number of magazines to be distributed to retail stores. Currently inventory decision making are done at certain segment or bucket level, thus making the implementation sub-optimal. In this invention, we develop a method and a system for performing analysis at much finer level of granularity. Moreover, widely used inventory models are not capable of handling the display effect and its interaction with price. Inventory decision making at customized scenarios is accomplished by leveraging business intelligence software that allow one to write scripts to perform real-time analysis under user specified input parameters. Inventory optimization at finer level of granularity is accomplished using a model that incorporates various drivers including the display and price effects, and latest statistical techniques to estimate the model with historical data.
