Patent number: 11911721Abstract: A fuel filtration system and methods controlling, and operating a fuel filtration system. A first fuel filter head is fluidly coupled to one or more first fuel filters, a second fuel filter head is fluidly coupled to one or more second fuel filters and a selector valve is coupled to the first fuel filter head and the second fuel filter head. The selector valve includes a primary valve inlet port, a primary valve outlet port, and a movable valve body movable from a first position to a second position. The first position fluidly couples the first fuel filter head to the primary valve outlet port and fluidly decouples the second fuel filter head from the primary valve outlet port. The second position fluidly couples the second fuel filter head to the primary valve outlet port and fluidly decouples the first fuel filter head from the primary valve outlet port.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2015Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Cummins, Inc.Inventors: Paul D.

Patent number: 11225264Abstract: In an approach, one or more computer processors determine that a user is in a vehicle. The one or more computer processors identify historical vehicle occupancy data of the user. The one or more computer processors monitor one or more driving metrics of the vehicle while the user is an occupant. The one or more computer processors determine whether a vehicle exceeds a threshold based, at least in part, on a comparison of the monitored one or more driving metrics and the identified historical vehicle occupancy data. The one or more computer processors determine an action based, at least in part, on the vehicle exceeding the threshold.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2018Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Adam J.

Patent number: 10917488Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide an approach for processing a notification on a mobile device. In an embodiment, a set of classifications is assigned to a notification received by a user on a mobile device. An expected response action and an expected response time specific to the user is derived based on a comparison of the set of classifications assigned to the notification with a set of prior response profiles in a notification tracking repository. If the user does not perform a response action within the expected response time, the notification is reissued to the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2018Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Hernan A.

Patent number: 10735535Abstract: Embodiments for analyzing viewer engagement of online content by one or more processors are described. For each of a plurality of online channels having a piece of content posted thereon, viewer engagement associated with the piece of content and information associated with the posting of the piece of content on the respective online channel is received. The viewer engagement from each of the plurality of online channels is compared to the viewer engagement from the others of the plurality of the online channels. Based on the comparing of the viewer engagement and the information associated with the posting of the piece of content, a correlation between the viewer engagement from each of the plurality of online channels and the information associated with the posting of the piece of content on each of the plurality of online channels is determined. A signal representative of the determined correlation is generated.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2018Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Martin G.
