Title: Tyre monitoring device configuration
Inventor: ANDREW BILL
IPC: B60C23/04
Filed: 2019-06-17
Abstract: A method of configuring a tyre monitoring device (e.g. a tyre-mounted sensor of a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) for an aircraft). The sensor (10; fig. 1) enters a configuration mode 804, preferably in response to a wireless instruction 802 from a configuration device (14; fig. 1) or control device (12; fig.1). The command may be made using a short-range communication protocol, e.g. radio frequency (RFID) or near field communication (NFC), or a longer range protocol, e.g. Wi-Fi ®. The sensor then transmits a request for configuration data 806 to a second device (e.g. the control device 12 or configuration device 14; fig. 1). The sensor then receives configuration data from the second device and the sensor is configured 814 using the data, e.g. reference pressure, sensor wheel position, vehicle identifier or compatibility data. The data may be sent using a different wireless communication protocol to the instruction. The sensor may transmit a second message 816 indicating the data is received and/or the sensor is no longer in the configuration mode. If a predetermined time period has elapsed 812 configuration data may be disregarded.

Title: Method and system for analytics-based updating of networked devices
Inventor: Sridhar Kunisetty
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2017-12-12
Abstract: A system (100) includes an update server (110) in communication with one or more client devices (106,107,108) across a network (102). A smart scheduler engine (118) schedules deployment of an update (117) to at least a first group of client devices. A monitoring auto configuration server interface (111) deploys the update to the first group of client devices. An analytics engine (114) identifies one or more anomalies occurring in the first group of client devices resulting from the upgrade. When this occurs, the scheduling engine cancels future updates to at least a second group of client devices where the later group includes devices having one or more device characteristics that correlate with other devices of the first group of client devices experiencing the one or more anomalies.

Inventor: LABIBA QUAIYUM
IPC: B60W10/06
Filed: 2020-11-25
Abstract: A vehicle hill descent control system and method of use (300). ECU determines vehicle is in descent mode with braking torque applied (304). Engine is operated at idle torque and accelerator sensor is disconnected to maintain idle (316). If accelerator pedal is actuated ecu determines the desired velocity based on pedal position (320) and provides a control signal to braking system to reduce the braking torque to increase the velocity of the vehicle (324). When the desired velocity is obtained maintain the braking torque level at a constant value (336). Vehicle may be put into hill descent mode manually or done automatically by the ECU. The braking torque may be increased if the brake pedal is depressed while in hill descent mode.
