Abstract: A method for checking the plausibility of a lateral acceleration and further input variables of a transmission shifting program includes measuring, over a defined route section, a lateral acceleration signal, calculating a mean value of the measured lateral acceleration signal, and calculating, based on the further input variables, a plurality of n?2 different lateral acceleration sensor reference variables. The different lateral acceleration sensor reference variables are calculated by a lateral acceleration reference model for the defined route section. The method further includes determining, for each respective lateral acceleration sensor reference variable, a respective mean value of a calculated lateral acceleration, determining deviations of the mean value of the measured lateral acceleration and the mean values of the calculated lateral accelerations, and evaluating, based on a magnitude of the deviations, whether or not the measured lateral acceleration and the further input variables are plausible.

Abstract: A method for carrying out an on-board diagnostic function of a vehicle includes activating an on-board diagnostic function of the vehicle and subjecting a predefined gas pedal value of the vehicle to low-pass filtering in order to obtain a smoothed gas pedal value.

Abstract: A method and device for water injection, wherein a water injector (104) is activated in accordance with an activation (200) to open at a first time (t1) and to close at a second time (t2), wherein a water pressure profile (300) is measured and a change in the water pressure profile (400) is determined on the basis of the water pressure profile (300), wherein, depending on the water pressure profile (300) and on the change in the water pressure profile (400), it is determined whether the water injector (104) has been opened as a result of the activation (200), and/or wherein, depending on the water pressure profile (300) and on the change in the water pressure profile (400), it is determined whether the water injection (104) has been closed as a result of the activation (200).

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a database system for dynamically and automatically accessing and storing data items from multiple data sources. The system may, for example, determine data sources to access, and ways of accessing data items from those data sources, based on an indication of an analysis level and/or other analysis criteria. Further, the system may selectively and efficiently integrate data items from the multiple data sources. Selective integration of data items may be based, for example, on the indication of the analysis level and/or other analysis criteria. The system may further generate outputs of the selective integration of data items. These outputs may, for example, include specialized reports and/or user interfaces. The outputs of the system, in some implementations, may be interactive and dynamically updated in response to user inputs, for example.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of Healthcare Claims Fraud Detection. Fraud is perpetrated across multiple healthcare payers. There are few labeled or “tagged” historical fraud examples needed to build “supervised”, traditional fraud models using multiple regression, logistic regression or neural networks. Current technology is to build “Unsupervised Fraud Outlier Detection Models”. Current techniques rely on parametric statistics that are based on assumptions such as outlier free and “normally distributed” data. Even some non-parametric statistics are adversely influenced by non-normality and the presence of outliers. Current technology cannot represent the combined variable values into one meaningful value that reflects the overall risk that this observation is an outlier. The single value, the “score”, must be capable of being measured on the same scale across different segments, such as geographies and specialty groups.
