Patent number: 12282305Abstract: A method including training, by one or more processors, a generative AI model using first operating data from building equipment and a plurality of first service reports indicating a plurality of first problems associated with the building equipment. The method may include predicting, by the one or more processors using the generative AI model, one or more future problems likely to occur with the building equipment based on second operating data from the building equipment. The method may include automatically initiating, by the one or more processors, one or more actions to prevent the one or more future problems from occurring or mitigate an effect of the one or more future problems.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2024Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: TYCO FIRE & SECURITY GMBHInventors: Julie J.

Patent number: 12242937Abstract: A method including training, by one or more processors, a generative AI model using a plurality of first service requests handled by technicians for servicing building equipment. The generative AI model may be trained to predict root causes of a plurality of first problems corresponding to the plurality of first service requests. The method may include receiving, by the one or more processors, a second service request for servicing building equipment. The method may include predicting, by the one or more processors using the generative AI model, a root cause of a second problem corresponding to the second service request based on characteristics of the second service request and one or more patterns or trends identified from the plurality of first service requests using the generative AI model.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2024Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Tyco Fire & Security GmbHInventors: Julie J. Brown, Young M. Lee, Rajiv Ramanasankaran, Sastry KM Malladi, Michael Tenbrock, Levent Tinaz, Samuel A Girard, David S. Elario, Juliet A Pagliaro Herman, Miguel Galvez, Trent M. Swanson, John F.

Patent number: 7970528Abstract: A gaseous fuel management system for an automotive vehicle includes at least one gas sensor for detecting the presence of gaseous fuel outside of the confines of the vehicle's fuel storage tank, fuel lines, and prime mover. In the event that fugitive gas is detected and the concentration exceeds a predetermined threshold, the fuel supply to the vehicle's prime mover will be shut off and, if so equipped, the vehicle may then be operated in a battery power mode for the convenience of the driver.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2004Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: Ford Global TechnologiesInventors: Suriyaprakash Janarthanam, John R. Blankenship, Steven J. Szwabowski, Anthony G. Grabowski, Arun Kumar Jaura, Theodore J. Filippi, Michael Brown, Richard E. Soltis, John R. Grabowski

Patent number: 7167793Abstract: A method for improving engine position sensing of an internal combustion engine is described. According to one aspect of the description, the determination of engine position may be improved by correcting rotational position of the internal combustion engine at a number of engine locations.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2005Date of Patent: January 23, 2007Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Alex O. Gibson, John R. Grabowski, Theodore J. Filippi, William R. Goodwin, Ilya V. Kolmanovsky

Patent number: 7082934Abstract: A system and method to control spark in a cylinder of a multi-cylinder engine. Spark can be controlled in a cylinder based on operating conditions of a selectively operable valve.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2004Date of Patent: August 1, 2006Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Vince Winstead, John R. Grabowski, Ilya Kolmanovsky, Michael W. Degner, Alex O. Gibson

Patent number: 6023558Abstract: Compressing graphic data for a first computer system, e.g. an emulated system, on a second computer system. For each scanline of the graphic data for the first computer system, a number of colors present on the scanline are counted. A new color palette for the scanline is formed at a reduced representation. Then, a representation of each color of each pixel on the scanline is converted to the new palette. The scanline is then run-length encoded. The graphic data is compressed so that it can be, for example, transmitted between a client (e.g. an X client) and a server (e.g. an X server) and conserve network bandwidth.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 1996Date of Patent: February 8, 2000Assignee: Apple Computer, Inc.Inventor: John R. Grabowski

Patent number: 5254926Abstract: System and method for high-speed, high-accuracy control of a multiphase motor in a vehicle having a DC power supply in response to a motor command signal, the system being a substantially digital implementation. The system includes programmable digital logic for generating a digital desired phase current signal for a particular motor phase. A signal indicative of the actual current in the particular motor phase is generated. The system includes comparators for comparing the desired phase current signal with the actual phase current signal and generating a digital error signal based on the difference between the desired and actual phase current signals. Additionally, the system includes an inverter, including a plurality of switches, for generating the actual current in the particular motor phase from the DC power supply. Based on the digital error signal, the digital logic generates a digital switch state output signal to control the operating state of the inverter.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 1992Date of Patent: October 19, 1993Assignee: Ford Motor CompanyInventors: John M. Miller, Roy I. Davis, Richard J. Hampo, John R. Grabowski, Paul T. Momcilovich

Patent number: 5159542Abstract: A current mode hysteresis controller for an inverter circuit provides selectable hysteresis bands based on the level of current to be provided. In the preferred embodiment of the controller, selected upper and lower limits are provided with hysteresis band switching being performed by selecting the amplification factor of error signals used to control the current mode hysteresis controller.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 1991Date of Patent: October 27, 1992Assignee: Ford Motor CompanyInventors: John M. Miller, John R. Grabowski
