    Abstract: Disclosed is an improved approach to process data and events from disparate ecosystems pertaining to products. An approach is provided to automatically cluster events from various ecosystems into noteworthy incidents and to correlate them with entities extracted from each system. Incidents are correlated between ecosystems to classify the type of incidents and to give a coherent converged picture of the event streams coming from the various ecosystems. Noteworthy incidents are automatically converted into tickets and their severity is ascertained from the associated incidents. Tickets that reference underlying defects with the product or service are converted into issues.

  • Patent number: 12013249
    Abstract: A vehicle provides an optimized route by minimizing charging rate and provides optimal charging at charging stations. The vehicle includes a user interface receiving a destination input, a storage storing a map data including location of charging stations and charging fee information of each, a driving guide image, and a guide fuel ratio corresponding to the driving guide image. A display displays a driving route and the image. A controller calculates the driving route and a travelable distance based on the battery SOC, selects a charging station as a stopover when a driving distance along the driving route is greater than the travelable distance, calculates a path through which the vehicle passes through the charging station selected as the stopover, determines target charging amount at the charging station selected as the stopover based on the guide fuel ratio and the path, and displays the target charging amount.

  • Patent number: 12011793
    Abstract: A main spindle monitoring device determines an abnormality of a main spindle in a machine tool. The main spindle monitoring device includes a main spindle operation monitoring unit and a feed axis operation monitoring unit. The main spindle operation monitoring unit monitors a change of an operation condition of the main spindle based on a main spindle load. The feed axis operation monitoring unit monitors a change of an operation condition of a feed axis based on a feed axis load. The abnormality of the main spindle is determined when the main spindle operation monitoring unit detects the change of the operation condition of the main spindle and the feed axis operation monitoring unit does not detect the change of the operation condition of the feed axis in a state where a constant rotation speed is commanded to the main spindle while the feed axis is driving.
