  • Publication number: 20160364783
    Abstract: A vehicle data system may receive, via a website, a user query about a vehicle or features of a vehicle that may not actually exist. The vehicle data system can transform vehicle features representing a user-configured vehicle, compare the user-configured vehicle with inventory vehicles, determine how similar the user-configured vehicle is to each inventory vehicle, how likely each inventory vehicle may be purchased given the user-configured vehicle and consumer behavior modeled based on actual historical transaction data collected via the website. The vehicle features may be weighted. Feature weights can be automatically determined and continuously fine-tuned utilizing machine learning. Each inventory vehicle is scored utilizing a similarity vector that compares it with the user-configured vehicle. Top-ranked inventory vehicle(s) can then be recommended to the user via the website in real time.

  • Publication number: 20150363838
    Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods disclosed herein provide solutions for predicting vehicle invoice pricing, trim, and options by starting from scratch (raw data), transforming the raw data into actionable data, and comprehensively exploring all possible option combinations that can match a vehicle's Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Embodiments implement algorithms that determine the trim of a vehicle and intelligently analyze all possible option combinations that would result in a target MSRP while avoid searching unnecessary vehicle configurations. The algorithms can be used to predict the trim, invoice, and options of a vehicle based on the vehicle's VIN and MSRP.

  • Patent number: 7848477
    Abstract: A shift register including shift register units substantially cascaded is disclosed. Each shift register unit is controlled by first and second clock signals opposite to each other for generating an output signal. Each shift register unit includes first and second switch devices and first and second devices. The first switch device provides the output signal through an output node. The first driving device drives the first switch device according to a first input signal to activate the output signal. The second driving device provides a first voltage signal, according to the first clock signal, to drive the first switch device and de-activate the output signal. When the first switch device de-activates the output signal, the second switch device provides the second voltage signal to the output node according to the second clock signal. A level of the first voltage signal is lower than a level of the second voltage signal.
