Patent number: 9618350Abstract: A computer readable medium embodies a program of machine-readable instructions executable by a processing apparatus to perform operations including determining information corresponding to a number of differences in distances between ending points of journeys taken by a vehicle and starting points of consecutive journeys taken by the vehicle, and transmitting one or more representations of the information. Another computer readable medium tangibly includes instructions for, for each of a number of vehicles, receiving one or more scores corresponding to a vehicle, and determining a ranked list containing at least a portion of the scores, and outputting the ranked list. Another computer readable medium includes instructions for, for each of a number of vehicles, receiving information corresponding to a vehicle, using one or more metrics, calculating one or more values from the received information, and communicating one or more representations of the one or more value to one or more entities.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2016Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Todd M. Appel, Duncan A. Ashby, So Yeon Chun, Milind R. Naphade, Richard J. Nash, Anshul Sheopuri, Anders Thornqvist, Martin Vuyk

Publication number: 20110241899Abstract: A method is disclosed that includes, for a set of passages of a vehicle, where each passage is associated with at least one confidence level, applying at least one heuristic to confidence levels corresponding to the set to determine at least one score. The method also includes performing the applying at least one heuristic for a number of sets of passages of a number of vehicles and selecting a number of the sets based on their associated at least one scores. The method additionally includes outputting identifications corresponding to each of the selected sets. Apparatus and computer readable media are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2010Publication date: October 6, 2011Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Todd M.

Patent number: 3998363Abstract: A hand-operated, spray dispenser pump assembly for use on a container having an outwardly extending bead adjacent its top opening, for example, an aerosol-type can. The pump is attached to the container by means of a special snap-on closure member. The closure member is molded from a somewhat resilient, strong, thermoplastic material and includes a top wall having an opening for the stem of the pump and a depending skirt which is provided with an inwardly facing, annular bead on its inner walls adapted to be snapped over the outwardly extending, complementary bead on the top of the container. The pump is provided with an integral annular flange adjacent its top opening, which flange is snap fitted inside the special closure member. An annular rubber gasket is provided around the periphery of the pump flange and makes a leak-proof sealing engagement with the top opening in the container when the special closure is snapped down over the top of the container.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 1975Date of Patent: December 21, 1976Assignee: VCA CorporationInventors: Steven W.
