  • Optimizing device update scheduling
    Patent number: 11392365
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for updating a device is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes identifying that an update associated with the device is available. The computer-implemented method further includes determining whether the available update associated with the device is permitted. The computer-implemented method further includes determining, in response to the available update associated with the device being permitted, an optimal scheduled time for performing the update on the device. The computer-implemented method further performing the update on the device at the scheduled time.
    Type: Grant

  • Remote optical sensor with optical fiber for brake condition monitoring
    Patent number: 11174910
    Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring condition of a braking system includes a brake pad with a friction material, a plurality of light transmission fibers, and a plurality of optical image fibers. A first end of each of the plurality of light transmission fibers coupled to one or more light emitting-diodes and a second end of each of the plurality of light transmission fibers directed towards a contact surface of the brake rotor. A first end of each of the plurality of optical image fibers coupled to an image sensor and a second end of each of the plurality of optical image fibers directed towards the contact surface of the brake rotor, where the plurality of light transmission fibers and the plurality of optical image fibers are configured to capture an image of at least a section of the contact surface of the brake rotor.
