Abstract: A method of detecting a thermal event associated with a battery assembly of an electrified vehicle includes, among other things, obtaining a temperature reading from a sensor associated with an area of the battery assembly, assessing whether the sensor is flagged with a first identifier or a second identifier. The first identifier indicates that the temperature reading is reliable. The second identifier indicates that the temperature reading is unreliable. If the sensor is flagged with the first identifier, the method detects a thermal event associated with the battery assembly based on the temperature reading from the sensor.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention provides a method for speaker identity and content de-identification under privacy guarantees. The method comprises receiving input indicative of privacy protection levels to enforce, extracting features from a speech recorded in a voice recording, recognizing and extracting textual content from the speech, parsing the textual content to recognize privacy-sensitive personal information about an individual, generating de-identified textual content by anonymizing the personal information to an extent that satisfies the privacy protection levels and conceals the individual's identity, and mapping the de-identified textual content to a speaker who delivered the speech. The method further comprises generating a synthetic speaker identity based on other features that are dissimilar from the features to an extent that satisfies the privacy protection levels, and synthesizing a new speech waveform based on the synthetic speaker identity to deliver the de-identified textual content.
