Publication number: 20250062084Abstract: A key switch assembly for a saddle riding vehicle includes a cover structure adapted to cover a portion of a frame arranged between a handlebar and a seat in a lengthwise direction of the vehicle. A cap structure is removably engaged to the cover structure and includes a first structure disposed inside a cavity of the cover structure and defines an opening, and a second structure extending vertically from the first structure and adapted to be removably coupled to the frame. The second structure is adapted to be arranged underneath the cover structure. A key switch is coupled to the first structure and extends through the opening. The key switch is configured to electrically connect and disconnect the at least one electrical storage unit to the at least one traction motor.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2023Publication date: February 20, 2025Inventors: Derek Hilfer, John B.

Publication number: 20230334247Abstract: A system is provided for machine-learning based identification and filtering of electronic network communication. In particular, the system may continuously monitor and pull electronic communications data from one or more networked computing systems in an enterprise environment. Based on the electronic communications data, the system may use machine learning algorithms to generate a database of associations between one or more users and one or more topics of interest. The system may then output one or more recommendations to one or more users for transmitting communications associated with the one or more topics of interest. In this way, the system may improve the efficiency of communications received and transmitted within a network.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2022Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: George Anthony Albero, Maharaj Mukherjee, Elijah Clark, Madhavi Mendu, Michael B.
