Abstract: Methods and systems for obtaining vehicle recall notifications are described herein. A vehicle having one or more autonomous operation features may receive a notification indicating that the vehicle requires a safety recall. The notification may provide identification information for a vehicle part that needs to be replaced. Additionally, the vehicle may determine whether the vehicle part is currently within the vehicle by obtaining a set of identification information for current vehicle parts within the vehicle and comparing the identification information for the vehicle part to the set of identification information for current vehicle parts within the vehicle. In response to determining that the vehicle part is currently within the vehicle, the vehicle may identify a treatment facility for replacing the vehicle part, and cause the vehicle to travel to the identified treatment facility for replacing the vehicle part.

Abstract: A Deep-Learning (DL) explainable AI system for Radio Frequency (RF) machine learning applications with expert driven neural explainability of input signals combines three algorithms (A1, A2, and A3). A1 is a neural network that learns to classify spectrograms. During training, A1 learns to map a spectrogram to its paired label. It outputs a label estimate from a spectrogram. Labels account for device number and spectrum utilization. The neural network is built on two-dimensional dilated causal convolutions to account for frequency and time dimensions of spectrogram data. A2 is a user-defined function that converts an input spectrogram into a vector that quantifies human-identifiable elements of the spectrogram. A3 is a random forest feature extraction algorithm. It takes as input the outputs of A2 and A1. From these, A3 learns which elements in the vector output by A2 were most important for choosing the labels output from A1.

Abstract: Methods and systems for retrieving and compiling vehicle information from a variety of sources, and assessing circumstances or events based upon the vehicle information. A central entity, such as an insurance provider, may receive the vehicle information and avail information related to a plurality of vehicles to vehicle owners or operators in a single source dashboard. The central entity may assess the vehicle circumstances to determine whether to notify the individuals of an event, such as a vehicle recall or upcoming maintenance, and then generate notifications and communicate the notifications to the individuals. The notifications may enable the individuals to take maintenance, repair, update, and/or other actions to manage the circumstances and potentially avoid situations that may cause unnecessary financial commitments or vehicle damage.

Abstract: A baking process includes placing a baked goods carrier onto a work surface and filling the baked goods carrier with pieces of dough. Display data may be transmitted using a computer to a digitally controlled display apparatus close to the work surface for displaying a desired filling. The actual filling may be captured by an image recording apparatus and transmitted to the computer. The captured data of the actual filling may be evaluated using the computer and compared to data relating to the desired filling. The computer may be used to act on the filling process and/or the baking process.
