  • Patent number: 11275362
    Abstract: Methods and systems of identifying a time reduction in a manufacturing time associated with a plurality of products. One system includes an electronic processor configured to receive training data. The electronic processor is also configured to determine a first set of testing parameters from the plurality of testing parameters to remove for the assembly line based on the training data and determine a second set of testing parameters to keep by removing the first set of testing parameters from the plurality of testing parameters. The electronic processor is also configured to determine a predictive model to replace the first set of testing parameters based on the training data associated with the second set of testing parameters, and automatically update a testing process for the assembly line to turn off the first set of testing parameters and use the predictive model in place of the first set of testing parameters.

  • Patent number: 11137256
    Abstract: A method includes receiving data corresponding to detected objects in a parking region, the data including information ascertained by an ascertaining vehicle driving through the parking region, determining a parking region distribution, based on detected objects in a street segment located within the parking region, determining a street segment distribution, calculating a difference between the parking region and the street segment distribution, identifying an anomaly located within the street segment, and generating an updated parking area map of the parking region based on the identified anomaly. The method includes receiving the data, for example, each time an ascertaining vehicle drives through the parking region.

  • Patent number: 11093764
    Abstract: A method for object detection and parking spot localization includes receiving data corresponding to detected objects located within a street segment, the data being ascertained by an ascertaining vehicle driving through the street section, determining a detected object distribution, shifting the detected object distribution, and generating a parking map of available parking spots on the street segment based on a parking region distribution and the shifted detected object distribution. The method includes receiving the data, determining the detected object distribution, and shifting of the detected object distribution, for example each time at least one of the at least one ascertaining vehicle drives through the street section.

  • Patent number: 10990092
    Abstract: Methods and systems of identifying a time reduction in a manufacturing time associated with a plurality of products. One system includes an electronic processor configured to receive a dataset associated with an assembly line. The dataset includes a classification for each of the plurality of products produced by the assembly line, where the assembly line is associated with a plurality of tests. The electronic processor is also configured to determine a set of test combinations for the assembly line based on the plurality of tests and, for each test combination, determine a number of missing products based on the classification for each of the plurality of products. The electronic processor is also configured to determine at least one test to remove based on the number of missing products for each test combination and output a result including an indication of the at least one test to remove.

  • Patent number: 10962954
    Abstract: A manufacturing process system comprises any number of assembly stations and test stations, a model unit, and any number of final products is provided. Any of a sample test method and the statistical distribution monitoring method performed by the model unit is configured to monitor the model quality after it is deployed and reduce potential unnecessary costs, such as warranty claim costs as a result of sending bad units to the customers, and rework costs as a result of predicting a good part as bad and wasting additional testing efforts on the bad parts. Further, both methods are configured to maximize the probability of detecting hazardous issues, while having control of the false alarm rate.

  • Patent number: 10762782
    Abstract: A method includes receiving data corresponding to spaces situated in a street section, the data being ascertained by at least one ascertaining vehicle driving through the street section and including information corresponding to a beginning edge of at least one object and a ending edge of at least one second object, determining boundaries of at least one space in which parking is permitted based on the received data, and generating a display representation of the boundaries of the at least one space in which parking is permitted. The method includes receiving the data and determining the boundaries, for example, each time an ascertaining vehicle drives through the street.
