Patent number: 10247641Abstract: An automated tread registration system includes a sensing system configured to provide at least one surface model of a first object. The surface model of the first object has at least one pattern with at least one groove and at least one protrusion. The automated tread registration system also includes a user system executing processing software reading data corresponding to the at least one surface model of the first object. The surface model corresponds to a current condition of the first object. The processing software executed by the user system may analyze the at least one surface model of the first object and provide at least one indicative metric based on the analysis of the surface model. The indicative metric may be camber wear, toe wear, heel toe wear, overinflation, underinflation, and/or the like.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2017Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: Tireaudit.com, Inc.Inventors: Jack Marshall Zoken, Alper Yilmaz

Patent number: 9217397Abstract: A method for verifying the reliable operation of a fuel tank pressure transducer positioned within a fuel tank of a PHEV. The method detects the initiation of a refueling cycle, which leads to opening a system vent valve positioned between a carbon canister and a system vent, and opening a fuel tank isolation valve. A controller monitors fuel system pressure within the fuel tank and at the vent valve, and that device determines rates of change of the fuel system pressure within the fuel tank and at the outlet vent. Reliable operation of the fuel tank pressure transducer is indicated upon a determination that the rates of change of the fuel system pressure in the fuel tank and at the outlet vent are uniform within a predetermined range.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2013Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Mark W Peters, Robert Roy Jentz, Aed M Dudar, Roman Schesnuk, Jack Marshall

Patent number: 6868389Abstract: A method of generating intender leads in a distributed computer system includes the steps of identifying purchase indicators and extracting prospect identifiers from the purchase indicators. Purchase indicators are pieces of data that represent a potential future purchase by a prospect. For example, an online classified advertisement selling an automobile is a purchase indicator for a potential future purchase of a new car by the old car seller. The prospect identifier, such as a telephone number or email address, uniquely identifies the prospect likely to make the future purchase. Preferably, the method also contains the steps of obtaining full contact information for the prospect from a profile database, applying a predictive model to the prospects to select intender leads, and transferring the intender leads to an interested party, such as a direct marketing service or sales force.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2000Date of Patent: March 15, 2005Inventors: Jeffrey Kohl Wilkins, Jack Marshall Zoken
