Patent number: 11977551Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a natural, pen-and-paper user experience that harnesses cutting edge artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance user interactions with data in a suite of software applications. The pen-and-paper user experience may mimic the time-honored human tradition of writing with pen and paper, allowing users to work in an intuitive, productive, familiar fashion. The user experience may automatically retrieve objects, e.g., data, charts, tables, graphs, etc. from backend systems and display the objects in the user experience. The user experience may allow users to provide additional natural language directly on or around the objects and update the displayed results accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2018Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Philip Miseldine, Judith Schneider, Sebastian Werner, Margo Lutes, Gergana Savova, Niels Hebling, Normen Rosch

Publication number: 20230388442Abstract: Devices and methods for capturing vehicle undercarriage images are described. In some instances, a mirror assembly may be used to reflect images of portions of a vehicle undercarriage into a field of view of a camera to be captured, e.g., as a vehicle passes over the mirror assembly. Composite images may be reconstructed from the reflected portions of the vehicle undercarriage, and analysis may be performed on those reconstructed, composite images to identify features in the composite vehicle undercarriage images.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Applicant: ACV Auctions Inc.Inventors: Keith Carolus, Timothy Poulsen, Charlie Campanella, Darin Chambers, Reid Gershbein, Daniel Magnuszewski, Michael Pokora, Philip Schneider

Publication number: 20230267780Abstract: Methods and systems for capturing and processing audio data of a vehicle engine. In one aspect, a vehicle audio capture system includes a mobile device configured to capture vehicle engine sounds in an audio file and to associate tags identifying one or more vehicle conditions observed during audio capture and reflected in the audio file, and a server configured to process the audio file and expose an application programming interface (API) to provide access to the audio file to one or more data consumer devices. In some instances, a condition report server is configured to access the application programming interface to retrieve a version of the audio file and include data describing the audio file within a vehicle condition report. Additionally, tags may be added to the audio file based on detected engine conditions. Detection of engine conditions may be based on use of trained models.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2023Publication date: August 24, 2023Applicant: ACV Auctions Inc.Inventors: Charlie Campanella, Keith Carolus, Reid Gershbein, Daniel Magnuszewski, Michael Pokora, Timothy Poulsen, Philip Schneider, Dennis Christopher Fedorishin

Publication number: 20230206942Abstract: Techniques for using a trained machine learning (ML) model to detect presence of vehicle defects from audio acquired at least in part during operation of an engine of a vehicle. The techniques include using at least one computer hardware processor to perform: obtaining, via at least one communication network, a first audio recording that was acquired, using at least one acoustic sensor, at least in part during operation of the engine; processing the first audio recording using the trained ML model to detect, from the first audio recording, presence of at least one vehicle defect, the processing comprising: generating an audio waveform from the first audio recording, generating a two-dimensional (2D) representation of the audio waveform, and processing the audio waveform and the 2D representation of the audio waveform using the trained ML model to obtain output indicative of presence or absence of the at least one vehicle defect.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2022Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventors: Philip Schneider, Michael Pokora, Justas Birgiolas, Livio Forte, III, Dennis Christopher Fedorishin

Patent number: 8032079Abstract: The hearing device is adapted to automatically requesting an establishment of a communication connection to at least one hearing device support provider. The hearing device support provider may comprise a person knowledgeable in hearing devices, at the hearing device seller and/or at the hearing device manufacturer, and it may comprise a computer with a suitable software. Said automatically requesting said establishment of said communication connection will usually happen, when at least one change in internal status of the hearing device occurs, like a failure or a memory overflow or the upcome of a repeatedly occurring event. The hearing device may by itself decide upon the type of change in internal status, which hearing device support provider to connect to. Typically, at least one long-range communication connection is involved.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2005Date of Patent: October 4, 2011Assignee: Phonak AGInventors: Philip Schneider, Stefan Launer, Ivo Hasler
