Appl. No.:

17/307069

Inventors:

- Armonk NY, US

International Classification:

G01R 31/3835
H01M 10/44
H02J 9/06

Abstract:

Rechargeable battery monitoring and control is provided using a non-linear rate-of-change failure threshold. A non-linear rate-of-change failure threshold is obtained indicative of an operational state abnormality in a rechargeable battery cell, and during the operational state of the rechargeable battery cell, a control compares an actual voltage rate-of-change of the rechargeable battery cell to the non-linear rate-of-change failure threshold. Based on the actual voltage rate-of-change of the rechargeable battery cell exceeding the non-linear rate-of-change failure threshold, the control identifies the operational state abnormality in the rechargeable battery cell. Based on identifying the operational state abnormality in the rechargeable battery cell, the control discontinues the operational state of the rechargeable battery cell.

International Classification:

G08G 1/01
G08G 1/065

Abstract:

A method for improving traffic flow at an intersection includes determining spacing data for a plurality of vehicles within traffic lanes that enable the plurality of vehicles to proceed to an intersection from a common direction, determining whether traffic flow proximate to the intersection is hindered due to spacings between the plurality of vehicles, and sending a request to at least one vehicle of the plurality of vehicles to move forward to improve the traffic flow proximate to the intersection. The spacing data may be derived from spacing-related sensor data captured by one or more vehicles of the plurality of vehicles. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product for executing the above method are also disclosed herein.

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for locating content corresponding to a recap segment includes determining whether a recap segment is present in video data corresponding to a video series. In response to determining that the recap segment is present, the method includes dividing the recap segment into clips corresponding to individual scenes in one or more previous episodes of the video series and, for each clip, comparing the clip to one or more of the episodes in the video series for determining a location of the clip in one of the episodes. The method also includes determining whether the clip is part of a larger scene in the episode corresponding thereto and determining a starting and ending time of the larger scene within the episode. The method includes storing the starting and ending time of the larger scene in correlation with the clip.

G06F 16/23
G06F 16/909

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method includes initializing a navigation application on a device, determining a current location of the device, and receiving a destination. The method also includes determining whether a known geographical feature is located on a travel path to the destination. The known geographical feature may be derived from a user profile. The method, in response to determining that a known geographical feature is not located on the travel path to the destination, includes outputting graphical and audio directions to the destination. In response to determining that a known geographical feature is located on the travel path to the destination, a sub-method includes determining whether the device is currently in a known area and outputting graphical and audio directions to the known geographical feature in response to determining that the device is not currently in the known area.
