  • Patent number: 11516025
    Abstract: An advance pairing system preemptively pairs a phone to a vehicle using a backend cloud system prior to establishing the connection with the vehicle, such as during the time that a user is purchasing a vehicle, or just after the user enters the vehicle for the first time. The system includes a mobile application for automated advance pairing with the vehicle's automotive computer. The mobile app sends a request for advance pairing to a server that assigns a set of unique keys to the account for secure pairing of the mobile device and the vehicle. The server pushes an encrypted payload to both the mobile device app and the vehicle advance pairing app operating on the automotive computer. The encrypted payload can include a unique vehicle ID, a unique mobile device ID, and one or more encryption keys. The mobile device and the vehicle use the encrypted advance pairing information to establish a secured connection with minimal user input.

  • Publication number: 20220086929
    Abstract: Responsive to detection of a personal device, a closest one of a plurality of HMIs to the personal device is identified. Responsive to an address store including a hardware address of the personal device, the configurable hardware address of the closest one of the plurality of HMIs is updated to be a HMI hardware address mapped to the personal device hardware address. The personal device is then able to reconnect to the closest one of the plurality of HMIs.

  • Publication number: 20050154143
    Abstract: A process for the manufacture of maleated polypropylenes having an acid number greater than 4.5, a yellowness index color of no greater than 76, and a number average molecular weight of at least 20,000. The process for making the maleated polypropylenes includes forming a mixture of molten polypropylene and molten maleic anhydride in a reactor, introducing a free radical initiator into the molten mixture to produce a product having maleic anhydride grafted onto the polypropylene, and recovering a high acid number, high molecular weight maleated polypropylene of low color from the reactor.
