  • Publication number: 20230072834
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods directed to improving the functions of a vehicle. Systems and methods are provided that provide a custom tool that autogenerates a set of software agents that allows a system to separate processing, transmission and receiving of messages to achieve better synchronization. The disclosure herein also provides a simplified method of key provisioning by designating one client as a server and assigning a symmetric key to every other client permanently provisioned between that client and the server. Systems and method are further provided that predict faults in a vehicle. Systems and methods are also provided that preserve data in the event of a system crash. Systems and methods are also provided in which an operating system of a vehicle detects the presence of a new peripheral and pulls the related interface file for that new peripheral. Further, a data synchronization solution is provided herein which provides optimized levels of synchronization.

  • Publication number: 20210084027
    Abstract: A digitally certified ecosystem includes a plurality of verifying entities and a plurality of verified entities, each verified entity verified according to at least one aspect of the entity by at least one of the verifying entities. The digitally certified ecosystem further includes an issuing system server which enables a secure communications mode on a website of a verified entity.

  • Patent number: 9612188
    Abstract: An air purifier is presented with a sensor controlling a motorized fan, wherein the sensor continuously and automatically adjusts the sensitivity setting of the sensor as the quality of air being purified changes. The average air quality readings of the air passing through an air purifier are monitored over a designated time period and, as the quality fluctuates, the sensitivity of the sensor is automatically adjusted. If the air quality is poor (i.e. a high particulate count), the sensitivity of the sensor will be adjusted to a less sensitive setting (i.e. allowing higher fan speeds so that more air can be moved through the filter) and, if the air quality is good (i.e. a low particulate count), the sensitivity of the sensor will be adjusted to a more sensitive setting (i.e. setting a lower maximum fan speed because not as much air needs to move through the filter).

  • Publication number: 20160245784
    Abstract: A control system in an air monitor is programmed to selectively direct air from more than one source over a sensor and various algorithms are then used to provide feedback regarding the difference between the particulate readings at each of the sources. In one embodiment, a data curve for a reading from one air source during a first time period is overlaid with a line which is linearly extrapolated beyond the end of that time period and the data curve for a reading from a second air source during an immediately subsequent second time period is overlaid with a line which is linearly extrapolated beyond the start of that time period. The difference in the contaminant level between the extrapolated lines at the end of the first time period and the beginning of the second time period approximates the difference in contaminant content between the two air sources.
