  • Technique for discharging an energy storage of a vehicle
    Patent number: 9403442
    Abstract: A technique for discharging an energy storage of a vehicle having a predetermined discharge limit threshold comprises performing a lookup in a database to determine whether a predetermined condition is met. The predetermined condition comprises a specific vehicle identification number being listed in the database. Next, initiating the discharging of the energy storage below a predetermined discharge limit threshold depending on a result of the lookup in the database.

  • Electromagnetic interference device identification system and method
    Patent number: 9224019
    Abstract: A system and method for device identification includes a receiver adapted to detect an electromagnetic radiation interference signal emitted by a device and a microprocessor operatively connected to the receiver. The microprocessor may identify at least one device characteristic parameter of the electromagnetic radiation signal. The system includes memory for storing at least one constant or predicted future characteristic value associated with the device and the microprocessor may compare the detected characteristic parameter to the at least one constant or predicted future characteristic value to identify and recognize the device that emitted the electromagnetic radiation signal.
