Patent number: 9934627Abstract: A driving analysis server may be configured to receive vehicle operation data from vehicle sensors, and may use the data to identify a potentially high-risk or unsafe driving event by the vehicle. The driving analysis server also may receive corresponding image data, video, or object proximity data from the vehicle or one or more other data sources, and may use the image, video, or proximity data to analyze the potentially high-risk or unsafe driving event. A driver score for the vehicle or driver may be calculated or adjusted based on the analysis of the data and the determination of one or more causes of the driving event.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2016Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Allstate Insurance CompanyInventors: Margaret A. Brinkmann, Daniel Kraft, Nathan M. Bryer, Eric Huls, Thomas Michael Warden

Patent number: 9676392Abstract: A driving analysis server may be configured to receive vehicle operation data from vehicle sensors and telematics devices of a first vehicle, and may use the data to identify a potentially high-risk or unsafe driving behavior by the first vehicle. The driving analysis server also may retrieve corresponding vehicle operation data from one or more other vehicles, and may compare the potentially high-risk or unsafe driving behavior of the first vehicle to corresponding driving behaviors in the other vehicles. A driver score for the first vehicle may be calculated or adjusted based on the comparison of the driving behavior in the first vehicle to the corresponding driving behaviors in the other vehicles.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2015Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: Allstate Insurance CompanyInventors: Margaret A. Brinkmann, Daniel Kraft, Nathan M. Bryer, Eric Huls, Thomas Michael Warden

Patent number: 9141582Abstract: A driving analysis server may be configured to receive vehicle location data and/or operation data from one or more vehicle systems, identify driving trips and/or driving patterns based on the vehicle data, determine risk assessment values corresponding to the driving trips and driving patterns, and calculate driver scores based on the analyzed driving trip and driving pattern data. Destination locations may be identified for a vehicle's driving trips, and information relating to the destination locations may be retrieved and analyzed to determine risk factors and risk assessment values associated with driving to and from the destination, as well as parking at the destination. Specific driving trip types or purposes may be identified, and driving scores may be calculated based on the vehicle location and time data, including the risk factors, risk assessment values, and the determined trip types or purposes.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2013Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Allstate Insurance CompanyInventors: Margaret A.

Patent number: 6563317Abstract: A device for centering an elongated sample tube (8), filled with a measuring substance, relative to the vertical axis of an NMR receiver coil system (9) which is rigidly mounted in a support device, is characterized in that at least two centering devices (13,14) are provided which are separated from each other in an axial direction of the receiver coil axis and act on the sample tube in a radial direction only, one of which is disposed above and the other below the NMR receiver coil system, and at least one positioning devices (16;17) which acts on the sample tube in an exclusively axial direction and which can be located either below or above the NMR receiver coil system, wherein the exclusively radially acting centering devices are rigidly connected to the support device for mounting the NMR receiver coil system.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2002Date of Patent: May 13, 2003Assignee: Bruker BioSpin AGInventors: Michael Warden, Roberto Seydoux, Daniel Marek
