  • Publication number: 20240112177
    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to identity verification in blockchain transactions. An exemplary identity management system may receive an authorization request that can include a wallet address, a blockchain network identifier, a dApp smart contract address, a function signature, transaction data, and a redirect address. The wallet address is enrolled by providing obtained user data to a KYC provider system, receiving validated user data, providing the validated user data to a sanction provider system, and receiving a sanction list result. A access token is issued that includes an issuer identifier, the function signature, the dApp smart contract address, and an indication of wallet address successfully enrollment. A message is then returned that includes the access token and the transaction data. The dApp smart contract is configured to execute the function after verifying the access token via an identity verification smart contract that is inherited by the dApp smart contract.

  • Patent number: 11872995
    Abstract: A method for predicting a driving maneuver in a driver assistance system of a motor vehicle. Based on dynamic data of the vehicle detected with the aid of sensors, a history of a driving maneuver, which is not yet completed, is recorded and, based on the history, a future course of the driving maneuver is predicted. Multiple hypotheses for potentially occurring driving maneuvers are represented by respective associated sets of parameters. A theoretical history of the driving maneuver is calculated based on the parameters for each hypothesis. The recorded history is compared to at least one of the theoretical histories. Based on a similarity degree, the hypothesis which describes the presently occurring driving maneuver with the highest probability is determined and output as the prediction result.

  • Publication number: 20230085789
    Abstract: A method of classifying a driving maneuver performed by another vehicle in an environment of an ego-vehicle. In the method: a time series of a metrologically determined position of the other vehicle relative to the ego-vehicle that extends to a time step t is provided; spatial profiles of lanes in which the other vehicle may be located are provided; for a plurality of driving maneuvers from a predetermined catalog of possible driving maneuvers, conditional probabilities for the other vehicle to perform this driving maneuver at the time t are respectively determined with a predetermined model by using the time series of the position and the profiles of the lanes; by using these conditional probabilities, a most likely position and/or a probability distribution of positions of the other vehicle at the time step t is determined.

  • Patent number: 9143020
    Abstract: An electric drive motor for a work apparatus includes a stator having two stator poles which are at a distance from one another in the circumferential direction and have respective field windings. The motor has a rotor which rotates between the stator poles and the rotor shaft of the rotor drives a fan wheel. The cooling-air flow generated by the fan wheel enters the stator, flows therethrough and is discharged therefrom. For effective cooling, a pole intermediate space is provided between the stator poles; and, for the cooling-air flow, this space is filled by a non-magnetic guide body to provide a cooling duct delimited by the guide body and the field windings. The guide body is fastened to a support at one stator end and is inserted axially into the stator at the other end thereof.
