  • Publication number: 20190278684
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting an anomaly in a power semiconductor device are disclosed. A system includes a server computing device and one or more local components communicatively coupled to the server computing device. Each local component includes sensors positioned adjacent to the power semiconductor device for sensing properties thereof Each local component receives data corresponding to one or more sensed properties of the power semiconductor device from the sensors and transmits the data to the server computing device. The server computing device utilizes the data, via a machine learning algorithm, to generate a set of eigenvalues and associated eigenvectors and select a selected set of eigenvalues and associated eigenvectors. Each local component conducts a statistical analysis of the selected set of eigenvalues and associated eigenvectors to determine that the data is indicative of the anomaly.

  • Patent number: 10354462
    Abstract: A system includes an electronic device and a sensor to detect sensor data corresponding to the electronic device. The system also includes a machine learning processor that receives the sensor data and generates a model of the electronic device to determine a T squared threshold and a Q threshold using a machine learning algorithm. The machine learning processor also performs a T squared analysis of the electronic device by comparing a T squared value to the T squared threshold, and a Q analysis of the electronic device by comparing a Q value to the Q threshold. The machine learning processor also determines that the model is faulty when the T squared value is less than the T squared threshold and the Q value is greater than or equal to the Q threshold, and generates a new model or updates the model when the model is determined to be faulty.

  • Patent number: 10227069
    Abstract: A method and a system for controlling a vehicle (100) with four-wheel drive are provided. The method includes: acquiring a vehicle condition information parameter by a vehicle condition information collector; obtaining a radius of turning circle to be reduced from a driver by a turning circle receiver (40); obtaining a controlling yaw moment corresponding to the radius of turning circle to be reduced according to the vehicle condition information parameter and the radius of turning circle to be reduced by a turning circle controller (11); and distributing the controlling yaw moment to four wheels (90) of the vehicle (100) according to an intensity level of the radius of turning circle to be reduced and the vehicle condition information parameter by the turning circle controller (11), such that the vehicle (100) turns circle.

  • Publication number: 20180229610
    Abstract: A brake system (100) and a brake method for a four-wheel drive electric vehicle and a four-wheel drive electric vehicle, in the system, according to a brake mode of the electric vehicle, a state of charge of a battery pack (4) and a vehicle speed, a first brake control unit controls a motor (6) to brake a wheel (9) through a motor controller (2) and a second brake control unit controls a brake actuator (12) to brake the wheels (9). The first brake control unit further determines whether a brake torque of the brake actuator (12) on the wheels (9) fails. If yes, the first brake control unit controls the motor (6) to brake the corresponding wheel (9) through the motor controller (2).

  • Patent number: 9008430
    Abstract: An identification method and apparatus of confusable character are provided. The method involves: the detected character image is identified to gain the initial character information which is corresponding to the character image; the step change times of the corresponding external outline of the character image are counted if the initial character information is the confusable character; the final character information corresponding to the character image is confirmed according to the step change times; The final character information of the character image can be known conveniently according to the step change times, therefore the corresponding correct character information of the character image can be identified more precisely. The possibility of wrong identification of the character image because of the appearing confusable character can be reduced, and the identification precision rate of the confusable character can be improved.
