Patents by Inventor Matthew T. Burtch

Matthew T. Burtch has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11494531
    Abstract: An equipment performance modeling platform is disclosed. In certain embodiments, an adaptive sensing coordinator acquires sensor measurements, configures and processes the sensor measurements for a specific statistical model, and sends the measurements to a server. A server performs data processing, provides storage (e.g., local or in a database), and provides an interface for data extraction. Statistical models are used to interpreting sensor values for a type of equipment, and a labeling mechanism labels performance occurrences.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 14, 2018
    Date of Patent: November 8, 2022
    Assignee: SIGSENSE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

  • Patent number: 8391557
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for object detection and ranging within a vehicles rearward field of interest which includes an algorithm to translate images provided by an imaging device. An image device provides images to a processor which divides the images into groups of rows of pixels. The rows are processed by the algorithm which includes assigning each pixel in the rows to an object. The translation of the image from outside of the vehicle is provided to the vehicle operator and includes the tracking of location and dimensions of multiple objects within the viewing range.

  • Publication number: 20110043633
    Abstract: The present invention is a system for providing multiple driver assistance services which includes a vehicle having at least one door, and at least one imaging device operable for detecting the presence of one or more objects in proximity to the door for providing all distances between a vehicle and one or more objects in proximity to the vehicle. The imaging device is operable for displaying an image representing the various objects.

  • Patent number: 7324407
    Abstract: A method for filtering an object by a vehicular sensor system, including emitting a first signal, detecting a first echo, the first echo including at least a portion of the first signal reflected by the object, filtering a first time value of the first echo, emitting a second signal, detecting a second echo, the second echo including at least a portion of the second signal reflected by the object, and filtering a second time value of the second echo.
