Publication number: 20240096214Abstract: A method for classifying vehicles by means of a data processing system according to the nature of their vehicle drivers includes collecting driving data regarding vehicles driving in a predefined local area within a predefined time window, learning a driving policy of one or more vehicles in the local area from the driving data, generating or using a local predictor indicating a prediction of a definable driver behavior over a definable time horizon. The method further shares the local predictor with other vehicles in the local area to provide at least one combined predictor, redistributes the at least one combined predictor to vehicles in the local area, and locally classifies at least one of the vehicles based on the at least one combined predictor and/or the local predictor into a definable vehicle class for providing at least one local classification.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2021Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Antonio ALBANESE, Vincenzo SCIANCALEPORE, Xavier COSTA-PEREZ

Patent number: 11915050Abstract: A method of managing task offloading to edge servers in a multi-access edge computing (MEC) system includes receiving, by a task broker implemented at a host management level of the MEC system, a task offloading request from a UE application, analyzing, by the task broker, resource requirements of a task of the task offloading request and running a forecasting mechanism that determines whether the task offloading request will eventually be dropped or not by a system management level of the MEC system. The task broker, based on the determination of the forecasting mechanism, either rejects or provisionally admits the task offloading request.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventors: Antonio Albanese, Vincenzo Sciancalepore, Xavier Costa-Perez

Patent number: 7348807Abstract: An electric circuit for providing a selection signal being used to select a control value of a control variable which oscillates, at steady state, about a reference value about a first control value and a second control value with a first period duration comprises a first differential circuit which provides a first current being dependent on a difference between the first control value and the reference value. The electric circuit further comprises a second differential circuit which provides a second current being dependent on a difference between the reference value and the second value and a first node at which a differential current between the first current and the second current is formed. The differential current forms the selection signal indicating if the first control value or the second value is to be selected in order to minimize a difference between the reference signal and control variable.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2005Date of Patent: March 25, 2008Assignee: Infineon Technologies AGInventors: Vincenzo Costa, Christian Müller

Publication number: 20070296266Abstract: A motorcycle brake and suspension system comprising: an outer tube, having an upper end and a lower end, a mainspring mounted inside the outer tube, a brake line traveling through the central axis of the outer tube and looped to allow slack, and a braking system actuated by the brake line. The brake line actuates an integrated padlock caliper disk brake, and is protected by a flexible plastic cover. A fender bracket is mounted on the brake caliper. The integrated padlock caliper disk brake system has integrally formed brake fluid passages in the fork leg, which are hydraulically operative inside the load bearing portion of the fork leg. An adjustable push rod supports the mainspring by adjusting its neutral position length.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2007Publication date: December 27, 2007Inventor: Vincenzo Costa

Patent number: 7253656Abstract: A calibration circuit of a driver control circuit which controls a plurality of input/output drivers of an integrated circuit comprises first and second voltage/current converters, first, second and third comparators and a voltage/current converter circuit. The first voltage/current converter with an external resistor provides a reference voltage to half the value of a supply voltage of the calibration circuit. The second voltage/current converter is connected to a first pull-down driver whose pull-down driver voltage is set to half the supply voltage. The second comparator compares the reference voltage with the pull-down driver voltage to provide a first calibration signal. The voltage/current converter circuit is connected to a pull-up driver whose pull-up voltage is set to half the value of the supply voltage. The third comparator compares the reference voltage with the pull-up driver voltage in order to provide a second calibration signal.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2005Date of Patent: August 7, 2007Assignee: Infineon TechnologiesInventors: Vincenzo Costa, Christian Müller

Publication number: 20070013163Abstract: A motorcycle spreader clamp has a leg opening for holding a fork leg and a pinch arm defined by a pinch slot that starts from the leg opening and travels to a pinch arm outside face. A bolt opening on the pinch arm outside face has a machined bore within the bolt opening. The machined bore has a pinch thread machined to receive a pinch bolt. Spreader thread is machined to receive a spreader bolt, so that a user may use a spreader bolt to enlarge the leg opening, then install a fork leg, and then use a pinch bolt to secure the fork leg to the leg opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2005Publication date: January 18, 2007Inventor: Vincenzo Costa

Patent number: 7142069Abstract: A circuit arrangement for controlling an amplitude of an oscillator signal is accomplished by comparing the oscillator signal to reference signals. The amplitude of the oscillator signal is capable of being adjusted by means of a control signal. The control signal is developed by a regulating circuit that depends upon a comparison result of the oscillator signal with a reference signal such that the amplitude of the oscillator signal adopts a desired value. At least one further reference signal is compared to the oscillator signal and the regulating circuit is adjusted depending on the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2004Date of Patent: November 28, 2006Assignee: Infineon Technologies AGInventors: Vincenzo Costa, Henrik Icking
