Patent number: 11409502Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to intelligently and dynamically controlling both changes made within EUC applications and the control rules associated with such changes. A similarity index is calculated/assigned for each data entry field (i.e., cell/intersection) and the controls implemented when a changes to data in the entry fields occurs is based on the similarity index. In other embodiments, a change to data entry fields dynamically prompts analysis of the change based on historical approval and/or denial patterns specific to the EUC application, the data entry field(s) and/or the user of the application. In response to the analysis the control rules may be dynamically updated, and applied to the current change. In other embodiments, inputs, such as reviewer's comments, are the basis for determining a need to update existing controls or add new controls associated with data entry field(s) and the conditions associated therewith are determined and applied.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2019Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Suki Ramasamy, Raghavendra Veerupakshappa, Samson Paulraj, Balasubramanian Bagavathiappan, Timothy Krak, Scott B.

Patent number: 10513255Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a control system for a hybrid electric vehicle, the vehicle having a powertrain comprising at least one electric propulsion motor and at least one engine, the control system being operable to control the vehicle to operate in an electric vehicle (EV) mode in which the at least one engine remains switched off and the at least one electric propulsion motor is configured to deliver drive torque and a boost mode in which the at least one engine is switched on to provide additional power to drive the vehicle. When the vehicle is operating in EV mode the system is further operable to determine whether a boost location exists ahead of the vehicle being a location at which a gradient of a driving surface is sufficiently high to require selection of the boost mode, the control system being operable automatically to command starting of the at least one engine before the boost location is reached.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2017Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: Jaguar Land Rover LimitedInventors: Clement Dextreit, Mark Ellis, Matt Hancock

Patent number: 10259445Abstract: In an aspect of the invention there is provided a speed control system for a hybrid electric vehicle, the vehicle having at least one engine and at least one electric machine, the system being operable to allow a driver to set a target vehicle speed, the system being operable in first and second speed control modes to control the vehicle to maintain the target vehicle speed, in the first speed control mode the system being configured to limit operation of the vehicle to an electric vehicle (EV) mode, in the second speed control mode the system being configured not to limit operation of the vehicle to the EV mode, wherein when the control system is in the first mode and at least one of a prescribed one or more conditions is met, e.g. a rate of acceleration demanded by the driver or a difference between a target vehicle speed and a current vehicle speed exceeds a respective prescribed threshold value, the system is operable to not limit operation of the vehicle to the EV mode.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2017Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Jaguar Land Rover LimitedInventors: Clement Dextreit, Mark Ellis, Matt Hancock
