  • Publication number: 20230377047
    Abstract: A data processing system comprising: inputting a tiled image of a vehicle including four different angle views of the vehicle combined into a single image to a first machine learning model (e.g. CNN), the model trained based on historical image data to predict a first likelihood of total loss vehicle; inputting a multi-fusion of images each into a second set of machine learning models; the multi-fusion of images including a set of separate and distinct images for each of the views input separately into the second set of machine learning models, and extracting features to predict a second likelihood of total loss vehicle; inputting tabular data relating to the vehicle into a third machine learning model to predict a third likelihood of total loss vehicle for the vehicle; and aggregating the first, second and third likelihood of total loss vehicle to determine the overall likelihood of total loss.

  • Patent number: 7963793
    Abstract: A charge handle for use in charging a plug-in vehicle having a charge port includes a body having a receptacle for engaging the charge port to provide for charging the vehicle. A latch rotatably mounted to the body has a first end for securing the engagement of the receptacle to the charge port, and has a second end. An actuator lever is rotatably mounted to the body. The actuator lever has a first end connected to the second end of the latch, and has a second end. A trigger mechanism includes a trigger located on the opposite side of the body from the latch. The trigger mechanism is arranged such that depressing the trigger pushes the second end of the actuator lever to rotate the actuator lever to cause the latch to rotate and disengage the receptacle from the charge port.

  • Patent number: 7878866
    Abstract: A connector assembly couples an electrical power supply to a vehicle charging circuit. The assembly includes an elongate handle and a plug coupled to each other. The handle forms an internal cavity for supporting an electrical harness. The plug includes a first end that is attached to the outlet of the handle, and a second end opposite the first end for engaging a vehicle charging receptacle. The plug includes a series of tabs that longitudinally extend from the first end to engage a series of slots formed in the outlet of the handle for attaching the plug to the handle. The series of tabs and the series of slots collectively form a structural weak point for failure by localizing deformation between the tabs and the slots when the assembly is subjected to a predetermined side load applied to an intermediate portion of the assembly.
