  • Publication number: 20250046134
    Abstract: Techniques and systems for testing, evaluating and/or otherwise assessing the operation of vehicles are discussed herein. Some aspects relate to a system and method which may receive, at a first computer system, vehicle data derived from a vehicle data logging system, and may receive a playback time associated with a portion of the vehicle data. A sharable data structure may be generated which identifies the vehicle data and the playback time. The sharable data structure may be transmitted to a second computer system, wherein the sharable data structure allows the second computer system to retrieve the vehicle data.

  • Patent number: 12121005
    Abstract: A swipe-activated self-canceling omnidirectional contact switch mechanism that provides felines and canines of any size, height, mass, or intrinsic pawing capabilities, with the means to send an electronically generated signal to their respective caretakers by applying, from any external direction, a natural non-linear swiping action of an arcing forepaw to an electrified outer semi-rigid, flexible, and hollow electrical conductor which, by being forced to come into contact with an axially aligned electrified inner electrical conductor, closes a previously open statically energized electrical circuit of an interconnected ancillary alerting system which actions culminate with the broadcast of an audible and/or visual alert.

  • Patent number: 12125326
    Abstract: Techniques and systems for testing, evaluating and/or otherwise assessing the operation of vehicles are discussed herein. Aspects relate to a system and method comprising receiving vehicle data derived from a vehicle data logging system, the vehicle data being associated with a vehicle run and comprising a plurality of data topics associated with a corresponding plurality of vehicle components and displaying the vehicle data with a timeline component of a user interface during playback of the vehicle run, the timeline component comprising a portion in the user interface and the portion being configurable with a start time and an end time. The vehicle data may comprise timing data for at least one of the data topics and the vehicle data may be displayed at points in time along the portion in the user interface corresponding to the timing data.

  • Patent number: 12072361
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for coherent time-gated residual spur characterization and correction in signal analyzers. In some cases, the method includes: displaying a signal on the display of the signal analyzer that is present without an input signal being provided to an input of the signal analyzer; establishing a predetermined amplitude threshold above which energy spikes in the signal being displayed on the display of the signal analyzer are considered spurious; automatically identifying one or more spurious energy spikes in the signal being displayed on the display of the signal analyzer based on the predetermined amplitude threshold; and automatically reducing or removing the one or more spurious energy spikes from the signal being displayed on the display of the signal analyzer. The method can be performed using one or more processors, application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), field-programmable gate array (FPGA), or other circuitry on any suitable signal analyzer.

  • Patent number: 12019690
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for caching structural elements of electronic documents. A plurality of indices is stored in a data store. The plurality of indices corresponds to locations within an electronic document of portions of a stylized sub-element. A mutation to the electronic document is received and it is determined that the mutation pertains to a style of the stylized sub-element. Based on the mutation and the plurality of indices, the stylized sub-element is updated, and the portions of the updated stylized sub-element are caused to be displayed at a user device using a different style.

  • Publication number: 20240147957
    Abstract: A manually activated non-vibratory omnidirectional doorbell contact switch that provides cats and dogs alike, of any size, height, mass, or intrinsic forceful capabilities, with the means to send an electronically generated signal to their respective caretakers by applying from any external direction, a most natural non-linear swiping action of an arcing forepaw to the moment producing cantilevered end of a flexible electrical conductor which, by being forced to come into contact with an electrical conductor similarly cantilevered and in close proximity to the interior of the outer flexible electrical conductor which is hollow, closes a previously open statically energized electrical circuit, which actions subsequently and most humanely activate a doorbell signal receiver to which the omnidirectional form of the mechanical doorbell switch has been connected to and/or to which it is paired.

  • Publication number: 20240084874
    Abstract: A shock absorber has a main piston and a compression piston, connected by a compression piston housing. In stage 1, the shock absorber operates as a conventional monotube, with the damping force being generated only by the main piston. In stage 2, the compression piston travels into the compression housing, as the shock absorber still operates as a monotube damper. In stage 3, the compression piston is now significantly increasing its compression damping force by supplementing the main piston. The oil volume in the compression piston housing passes through the compression piston, causing an increase in compression damping force.
