  • Publication number: 20240371215
    Abstract: A method of collecting data in a vehicle includes receiving sensor data from at least one sensor. The method further includes determining whether one or more predetermined conditions are satisfied, wherein the one or more predetermined conditions relate to a rule for collecting sensor data. The method further includes storing the sensor data in a non-volatile memory (NVM) structure in response to a determination that at least one of the one or more predetermined conditions is satisfied.

  • Publication number: 20240330063
    Abstract: A method of collecting data in a vehicle includes receiving a set of rules; detecting a trigger event using a sensor connected to the vehicle; determining whether the detected trigger event is associated with a plurality of rules of the set of rules; and prioritizing each rule of the plurality of rules in response to a determination that the detected trigger event is associated with each of the plurality of rules. The method further includes determining whether resources within the vehicle are sufficient to implement a first data collection protocol for a highest priority rule; launching the highest priority rule in response to a determination that the resources within the vehicle are sufficient to implement the first data collection protocol; and preventing launch of the highest priority rule in response to a determination that the resources within the vehicle are insufficient to implement the first data collection protocol.

  • Publication number: 20240330304
    Abstract: A method of in-vehicle data collection includes determining whether a first rule of a plurality of rules overlaps with any other of the plurality of rules. The method further includes identifying overlapping data collection data in response to determining that the first rule overlaps with at least one other rule of the plurality of rules. The method further includes collecting data associated with the first rule in response to detection of a trigger event. The method further includes storing a single copy of the overlapping data collection data regardless of a number of the plurality of rules that overlap with the first rule.

  • Publication number: 20240331465
    Abstract: A method of requesting data from a vehicle includes determining a capability of an in-vehicle system, wherein the capability includes at least one of processing capabilities, memory capabilities or sensor capabilities. The method further includes receiving a rule, wherein the rule comprises a data collection request. The method further includes determining whether the capability of the in-vehicle system is able to satisfy the data collection request. The method further includes discarding the rule in response to a determination that the capability of the in-vehicle system is not able to satisfy the data collection request.

  • Publication number: 20240196810
    Abstract: A method for controlling a light intensity in an enclosed cultivation space, the enclosed cultivation space having a light regulating system including an artificial light source for emitting artificial light, the method comprising, detecting a first fluorescence gain and a second fluorescence gain at different light intensity operating points. If the fluorescence gain is greater when the light intensity is greater, then the light intensity setpoint can be increased. Similarly, if the gain is greater when the intensity is lower, then the setpoint can be reduced. The invention is based on the understanding that it is beneficial for plant growth to provide light at a level which corresponds to a maximum ChlF-gain. The light level which corresponds to a maximum ChlF-gain provides a good trade-off between production rate and production efficiency.

  • Patent number: 11820264
    Abstract: A vehicle seat may have an upholstered section and at least one cover for capping a through opening in the upholstered section. The cover may have a support, a trim and a cap. A method for fitting the cover may have at least the following steps: fitting the trim and the cap to form a preassembled subassembly, fitting the support on a seat frame of the vehicle seat, positioning an upholstered section on the seat frame, and inserting the subassembly through a through opening in the upholstered section into the support. An edge region of a covering of the upholstered section is clamped between the trim and the support. The subassembly may be fitted to the support.

  • Patent number: 8018317
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fuse system for a switchgear assembly, especially for a medium voltage switchgear assembly. The fuse system comprises a plurality of fuses which correspond to the number of phases, every fuse having a tripping bar that projects from the face of the fuse under the effect of the force of a spring when the fuse comes into action. A sealing body, with a spring arrangement interposed, pushes a sealing head into the interior of a receptacle receiving the fuse. A two-armed lever is received on the sealing head, one arm covering a tripping mechanism which actuates a power switch.

  • Publication number: 20080136154
    Abstract: An airbag inflator (1) for motor vehicles, more specifically an airbag inflator which is adapted to reduce high sound levels generated by the streaming of a gas flow out of the outlet into ambient air, which airbag inflator comprises at least one gas outlet (9) which is adapted to reduce high sound level generated by the streaming of a gas flow out of the outlet into ambient air. The gas outlet (9) of the airbag inflator (1) has an orifice (10;18) that is non-circular. When in use, the non-circular orifice (10; 18) of the gas outlet (9) enhances the mixing of the gas flow with the ambient air and thus provides for a reduction of the sound level caused by the gas flow.
