Patent number: 11842225Abstract: A method for distributed processing includes receiving an idle time and at least one task execution characteristic corresponding to each respective processor of a plurality of processors, wherein at least one processor of the plurality of processors is remotely located from other processors of the plurality of processors. The method also includes identifying a target processor of the plurality of processors to execute a task based on the idle time and the at least one task execution characteristic of the target processor. The method also includes communicating, to the target processor, a task request requesting the target processor execute the task and, in response to receiving a communication from the target processor indicating acceptance of the task, communicating, to the target processor, instructions for executing the task.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2020Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Steering Solutions IP Holding CorporationInventors: Michael R. Story, Keyur R. Patel, Farhad Bolourchi, Joachim J. Klesing, Mariam S. George, Peter D. Schmitt, Larry J. Wilson

Patent number: 11834108Abstract: A method for generating torque assist includes determining a model yaw rate value based on a vehicle speed, a steering angle, and a road-friction coefficient value and determining a differential yaw rate value using a difference between the model yaw rate value and a vehicle yaw rate value. The method also includes determining an updated road-friction coefficient value using at least the differential yaw rate value and generating a torque assist value based on the updated road-friction coefficient value and a model rack force value.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2020Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Steering Solutions IP Holding CorporationInventors: Rangarajan Ramanujam, Mariam S. George, Anthony J. Champagne

Publication number: 20220398935Abstract: A method for vehicle operating session simulation includes receiving, at a server computing device, vehicle data representing characteristics of a vehicle during a vehicle operating session and identifying a first actual value of the vehicle data corresponding to at least one operator input provided during a corresponding segment of the vehicle operating session. The method also includes determining, using the vehicle data, a first expected value corresponding to the first actual value and, in response to a determination that the first actual value is outside of a range of the first expected value, generating a vehicle simulation corresponding to the segment. The method also includes providing, at one or more simulation interfaces, the vehicle simulation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2021Publication date: December 15, 2022Inventors: Larry J. Wilson, Joachim J. Klesing, Michael R. Story, Peter D. Schmitt, Farhad Bolourchi, Mariam S. George
