Patent number: 11919552Abstract: A train control system uses sensory inputs related to operational parameters of a train for automatically scoring or classifying particular train driving strategies implemented by a machine learning model for a particular train operating on a predefined route or route segment. The train control system includes one or more predefined rules related to one or more of a first set of the operational parameters, wherein each of the rules defines a Boolean, true or false classification based on whether a particular train driving strategy results in one or more of the first set of operational parameters complying with the rule. One or more comparative key performance indicators are related to one or more of a second set of operational parameters, and are used to rank the particular train driving strategy for the predefined route or route segment relative to a different train driving strategy for the same or comparable route or route segment.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Progress Rail Services CorporationInventors: Sammy Akif, Marcos Blanco Fernandes, Joseph Maverick White, John William Brand

Patent number: 11922526Abstract: Aspects of distributed ledger technology are leveraged to verify subrogation settlements. In particular, two parties to a subrogation claim provide cryptographic hashes to a subrogation demand smart contract stored at an address on a blockchain. The subrogation demand smart contract determines that the parties have reached an agreement by determining that the cryptographic hashes match. A settlement amount from the subrogation claim may be appended to a set of settlement amounts to determine a net settlement amount to facilitate a single payment between the parties on a periodic basis, such as daily, to alleviate the need for the parties to send or receive a payment for each individual settlement amount.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Ryan Maurer, Nolan White, Kyle D. Weber, Edward Austin, William Guthrie, Dustin Helland, Bharat Prasad, Sharon Kay Haverlah, Karen Marie Shackelford-George

Patent number: 11895214Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for user interaction and task completion using multiple devices. A set of devices may be used to perform a task, such that different devices may perform different steps of the task. A device management service may update state information at each device of the set, thereby enabling a user to interact with any of the computing devices to perform the task. A device management service may also automatically determine which device should be used by the user, based on task or step requirements, device characteristics, and device capabilities, among other examples. Thus, rather than being required to continue a task on the same device (even when the device is not well-suited for the current step or task), the user is provided with the option to use and, in some instances, is automatically transitioned to use, different devices within the set.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Robert A. Sim, Adam Fourney, Russell Allen Herring, Jr., Ryen William White, Elnaz Nouri
