  • Publication number: 20210094377
    Abstract: A method for checking status of a vibration damper of a motor vehicle includes selecting a suitable section of a roadway, via processing circuitry at a server, based on section selection criteria comprising a number of passing vehicles, a data input sufficient for correlation analyses of the vibration damper, and homogeneity of the roadway. The method further includes acquiring data from a plurality of other vehicles while the other vehicles are driving through the section, grouping data items from the acquired data that are specifically associated with vibration damper status, classifying the status of the vibration damper based on the data items, and informing the driver about the status of the vibration damper. The data on the number of the other vehicles may include data indicative of other vehicle vibration dampers in new condition defining reference values for a degree of wear of the vibration damper.

  • Publication number: 20200201857
    Abstract: Apparatuses, computer readable medium, and methods are disclosed for dynamic sampling based on talent pool size. The method of dynamic sampling based on talent pool size may include determining, by at least one hardware processor, a talent pool based on a query from a user, where the talent pool comprises members and the members comprise attributes. The method further includes determining based on a size of the talent pool a sampling size number, where the attributes are represented by probability distribution functions. The method may further include determining an aggregate distribution of the attributes by combining the sampling size number of samples from each of the attributes and determining a range of a value of the aggregate distribution of the attributes. The method may further include causing the range of the value of the aggregate distribution of the attributes to be displayed to the user.

  • Publication number: 20200202036
    Abstract: In order to handle the security issues with regards to maintaining privacy of the submitted confidential data, in an example embodiment, no single service is permitted to access both confidential data and member identity data. This design ensures that an attacker would have to compromise more than two services to be able to associate a member with their corresponding compensation data. Thus, member privacy would be preserved if there were any single point of breach. In an example embodiment, an approach is taken where it is still possible for a member to delete his or her confidential data information.
