Patent number: 11970064Abstract: A multi-motor switching system and method for obtaining a global optimization of performance criteria that takes into account variables and conditions across an entire driving cycle. The controller of the system is adapted to conduct a global optimization in that it determines the most optimal distribution of motor loads over an entire trip or driving cycle, as opposed to sequentially determining the optimized solution for a given point of time and localized set of current condition. In one embodiment where the control system provides for global optimization, the controller receives trip information through a trip planning tool. The controller utilizes the trip information to generate a driving cycle and further incorporates this information into the optimization process performed by the controller to determine the optimal solution for the entire trip.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: System73 LtdInventors: William Erbey, Doron Paz, Duo Zhang, Mattias Bergstrom

Publication number: 20080021815Abstract: A method and system for electronically facilitating loan closing transactions that include sub-transactions involving third parties. The method and system provide functionality to quickly and easily order a sub-transaction and bill the respective party, or pay for the sub-transaction directly from various payment systems. An interactive closing document updates automatically as different services and sub-transactions are ordered. Designated parties to the transaction make and approve changes and updates to the interactive document as sub-transactions are completed and billed. The interactive document receives information from the earlier stages of the loan or mortgage transaction, and incorporates the information into the interactive closing document. Upon approval by all parties, at the closing of the transaction, the interactive closing document is generated as a hard copy for signature.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2007Publication date: January 24, 2008Inventors: William Erbey, Christopher Kennedy, Bryan Hurley

Publication number: 20060155640Abstract: A system and method for defining a custom business process associated with a financial transaction. Defining a business process includes creating one or more forms for exchanging information among a customer, a financial institution, and, optionally, a vendor or other third-party who performs one or more sub-transactions related to the financial transaction. The system and method of the present invention provide for customizing each form to include one or more data elements associated with the financial transaction. The selected data elements are subsequently used to define logical relationships for automating order placement of sub-transactions. The logical relationships are triggered by one or more predetermined events. Once triggered, the logical relationships are applied, and the result or outcome is used to perform other tasks associated with the financial transaction automatically.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2005Publication date: July 13, 2006Inventors: Christopher Kennedy, Bryan Hurley, William Erbey

Publication number: 20050216395Abstract: A method and system for managing business transactions, such as mortgages or other financial transactions. A business transaction between an end user and a financial institution includes sub-transactions between the end user and a vendor. A software system performs functions to complete the business transaction. Automated ordering allows an end user to quickly and easily order a sub-transaction without input from the financial institution or the vendor, and also automatically orders sub-transactions upon satisfaction of a trigger event. Vendor management functionality allows a financial institution to manage the transactions of a vendor. Qualitative performance analysis functionality allows an end user to monitor and evaluate a vendor's price, turn-around time, quality score, and overall score. Vendor distribution functionality distributes sub-transactions among vendors.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2004Publication date: September 29, 2005Inventors: Ralph Behmoiras, William Erbey, Arthur Castner, Christopher Kennedy, Keith Reno

Publication number: 20050149418Abstract: Methods and systems for providing information to a mortgage recipient or other customer of a financial institution. A system identifies potential customer inquiries and provides a list of scripts responsive to the potential customer inquiries. If none of the scripts address the customer's inquiry, the customer specifies the inquiry and an additional list of scripts is generated. The scripts include scripted text, account information, and financial transaction information. In one variation, the customer accesses a website maintained by the financial institution and views a script responsive to the inquiry. In another variation, the customer telephones a customer service agent who selects a script responsive to the inquiry, and reads the script to the customer. In yet another variation, the script is provided to the customer via an Interactive Voice Response system.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2004Publication date: July 7, 2005Inventors: William Erbey, Scott Conradson

Publication number: 20050144125Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking and billing expenses throughout a transaction, such as the sale or management of a real estate property. In one embodiment, a budget is created that details expected incomes on the property and costs associated with the sale or management of the property. The budget may be developed in accordance with specifications, such as line item maxima or total budget maxima, developed by the owner of the property. After a vendor has delivered goods or services described in the budget, the vendor creates an electronic invoice. Payment is delivered to the vendor through an Automated Clearing House system.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2003Publication date: June 30, 2005Inventors: William Erbey, Russell Bulman, Robert Leist, Mary Edgecomb, Donald Vetal, Armand Bonola, Stephanie Hudson, Jeffrey Neufeld, Debra Toussaint-Blackman, Rosemary Weaver, Sandy Blum, Federico Bucspun
