Abstract: A computer-implemented method for detecting at least a transient event, which is a damage and/or a contact event to a vehicle. The method includes: acquiring a sound signal over time by an audio sensor mounted on the vehicle to capture air-borne sound waves; acquiring at least a vibration signal over time by a motion sensor mounted on the vehicle to capture vehicle vibration; detecting if the acquired sound signal is above a predetermined sound threshold and/or acquired vibration signal is above a predetermined vibration threshold; converting the acquired sound signal and the vibration signal into an input data record; obtaining an input feature record from the input data record; feeding a pretrained machine-learning model with the input feature record to provide a transient event prediction output, wherein the pretrained model has been pretrained with a training dataset comprising input feature training records and event output training records.

Abstract: An application interface and method for developing multi-user applications executable over a distributed network is described. An object definition structure is provided for client-based definition of objects utilized by a multi-user application. The object definition includes a plurality of characteristics associated with the object and utilized by the application to effect interaction with other clients over the distributed network. A broadcast schedule is associated with one or more of the plurality of characteristics and controls the transmission of object data from the creating client to other clients in the distributed network. During execution of the multi-user application, characteristics of the object are automatically updated periodically or upon the change of a characteristic relative to a preset threshold value, in accordance with values provided in the broadcast schedule.
