  • Patent number: 10699137
    Abstract: A video classification platform receives a first message that includes a link to video data including video frames captured by one or more cameras associated with the vehicle, and including information concerning a vehicle and a driving event. The platform obtains the video data using the link, identifies the vehicle and the driving event based on the information, and determines objects in a video frame. The platform constructs a collision cone of the vehicle for the video frame and determines, based on the collision cone, a set of objects that have a potential to collide with the vehicle. The platform assigns a category to the driving event based on the set of objects, the collision cone of the vehicle, and the information, generates a second message that includes the category and the information, and sends the second message to a client device to display the second message.

  • Patent number: 10570840
    Abstract: Methods and systems for operating an engine to provide small amounts of energy to heat an aftertreatment device are described. In one example, fewer than the actual total number of engine cylinders are supplied with late post fuel injections (LPI) to heat an aftertreatment device without heating the aftertreatment device more than is desired. The engines fuel injectors may be operated at minimum fuel pulse widths to reduce fuel consumption.

  • Patent number: 10119826
    Abstract: A method for finding an approximation to the all-pairs shortest travel path between a number of predetermined nodes, comprising clustering nodes of an original road network into a plurality of subgroups so that the number of nodes in each subgroup is no greater than a first predetermined threshold and the maximum distance between any two nodes of a subgroup is no greater than a second predetermined threshold; adding information of intra group shortest paths for all pairs in a same subgroup to a newly created higher level road network; adding information of inter group shortest paths for the plurality of subgroups to the same road network; and searching the same road network for the shortest travel path. In those cases in which the path returned is not exact, the path represents one in the original map, even if not necessarily the best one.

  • Patent number: 9721422
    Abstract: A gaming machine comprises a display and a game controller arranged to control images of symbols displayed on the display. The game controller is arranged to play a game wherein at least one random event is caused to be displayed on the display and, if a predefined winning event occurs, a prize is awarded. A plurality of sub-games constitute the game displayed on the display. As an initial display, fewer than a full set of images of each of the sub-games are displayed to show a partial outcome of the game, the fewer than the full set of images being representative of a determination of an expected value for each of the sub-games.
