  • Publication number: 20240059305
    Abstract: Systems and methods that facilitate identifying and controlling the systems and subsystems in a vehicle to enable autonomous operation of the vehicle are disclosed. An autonomous vehicle interface (AVI) (the “AVI control system”) can interface with and control the system of the vehicle, thereby enabling control of the vehicle as a whole. Electronic control units may be associated with each of the systems and subsystems in the vehicle, and the AVI may interface with and control these electronic control units over a shared data bus. In order to control particular electronic control units, the systems and methods provide for sampling data packets transmitted by the electronic control units on the shared data bus, measuring the impedance of the shared data bus when data packets are being transmitted, and identifying particular electronic control units based on the measured impedance.

  • Patent number: 10672000
    Abstract: Computer bypass systems and methods using a customer portal of a core account computer system to bypass a core account provider computer system are disclosed. One method comprises receiving at a loan computer system a loan request from an electronic client device and obtaining core account access information comprising a core account provider identifier and core account authentication credentials of the client for a customer portal of the core account computer system. The loan computer system can use the core account authentication credentials to access the core account customer portal and obtain a core account balance and a maximum allowable loan limit. The loan computer system can provide machine readable instructions to render a graphical user interface indicating the maximum allowable loan limit and can receive a requested loan amount, which is used to transfer funds from the core fund to create a loan fund.

  • Patent number: 9765933
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a CNG dispenser is provided that includes a user-actuatable button for allowing selection of a pressure to which to fill a vehicle tank with CNG, and a controller for opening a high pressure fill valve to dispense high pressure CNG into the vehicle tank while monitoring the pressure of the vehicle tank until the pressure reaches the user-selected pressure. According to another embodiment, the controller is operable in a selected one of two modes of operation. The two modes of operation include a one-pressure bank operation mode in which only the input of a high pressure fill valve is coupled to a CNG supply line, and a three-pressure bank operation mode in which the inputs of each of three fill valves are coupled to respective CNG supply lines. A graphic fuel gage may be provided on the dispenser payment terminal screen.
