Publication number: 20230334645Abstract: A system for detecting damage to a glass surface particularly vehicle glazing panels such as vehicle windscreens. The system uses a sensor unit disposed proximate the surface and a processor in communication with the sensor unit. The processor is configured to analyse data received from the sensor unit in order to determine the integrity of the surface and a communication unit is configured to output a signal in response to the processor determining that the surface has been damaged. For vehicle glass the system is preferably integrated into the vehicle management and control systems such that the system is active when the vehicle is active or moving. The management and or control system may monitor for instances or situations when changes, such as above threshold changes, occur in order to produce an output warning signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: Belron International LimitedInventors: Kelly Francis, Christopher Davies

Patent number: 11087396Abstract: Systems and techniques for context aware predictive activity evaluation are described herein. A set of transaction variables may be identified for a predicted transaction. A set of inputs may be obtained corresponding to each transaction variable of the set of transaction variables. A value may be determined for each transaction variable using the set of inputs corresponding to each transaction variable of the set of transaction variables. The value for each transaction variable may be compared to a set of transaction models to select a transaction model for the predicted transaction. A probability may be calculated that the predicted transaction will be approved using the transaction model for the predicted transaction. The probability that the predicted transaction will be approved may be displayed on a display device.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2019Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Mary P. Casey, Kelly Francis Loven, Christopher J. Blunt, Lee Ryan Haseman, Richard Mulvey
