20080246335 | Method For Detecting Brake Circuit Failure - A method is provided for detecting a fault condition in a hydraulic brake system of a vehicle having a first hydraulic brake circuit and a second hydraulic brake circuit. A correlation ratio is determined between a measured pressure and the actual vehicle acceleration. A first wheel velocity differential is determined and a second wheel velocity differential is determined. A weighting value is selected in response to determining whether the correlation ratio is within the predetermined range and whether the first wheel velocity differential and the second wheel velocity differential are opposite signs. The selected weighting value is added to a fault counter. A determination is made whether the fault counter is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. A fault condition is detected in response to the fault counter greater than or equal to the first predetermined threshold. | 10-09-2008 |

20150094912 | System and Method for Wheel Disturbance Order Detection and Correction - An active nibble control (ANC) includes an anti-notch filter that increases the gain margin of the control and, therefore, greater disturbance rejection. The closed loop frequency response of the ANC is further enhanced by the addition of a lag-lead phase compensator filter. The addition of the lag-lead compensation filter allows use of the higher ANC gains at higher wheel frequencies to increase disturbance rejection, thereby compensating for anti-notch filter gain reduction with increasing wheel frequency. Similar results are obtained by adding a lag-lead phase compensator filter to a resonator filter in an active ANC. | 04-02-2015 |

20100174437 | METHOD OF DETERMINING VEHICLE PROPERTIES - Vehicle properties are determined by providing both actual and real-time data of the tires to the vehicle control system. The data includes both static and dynamic tire data. The properties are determined by the following steps: a) putting a vehicle in motion, the vehicle being provided with a set of tires and a vehicle control system wherein at least one tire has means to communicate with the vehicle control system and the vehicle control system has a processor, a vehicle observer, and a preprogrammed vehicle model; b) sending either static or dynamic tire information from the tire to the vehicle control system via the tire communication means; and c) estimating a vehicle property using the received tire information. | 07-08-2010 |

20120072782 | CORRELATION OF NETWORK ALARM MESSAGES BASED ON ALARM TIME - Problems in a network may be diagnosed based on alarm messages received from devices in the network and based on logical circuit path information of the network. In one implementation, a device may log alarm messages, in which each of the logged alarm messages may identify a network device that generated the alarm message and each of the alarm messages are associated with a time value. The device may group the alarm messages in the log of alarm messages based on the time values of the alarm messages to obtain one or more alarm message clusters and analyze the alarm message clusters to locate potential causes of the logged alarm messages. | 03-22-2012 |
20150254969 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING AGGREGATED NETWORK ALARMS - An approach for providing aggregated network alarm notifications is described. An alarm management platform aggregates one or more network alarms based on a geographic proximity, a temporal proximity, or a combination thereof. The alarm management platform identifies a network event based on the aggregating of the one or more network alarms, and then presents the network event in a user interface to represent the one or more network alarms. | 09-10-2015 |

20080313491 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING CUSTOMER CONTROLLED NOTIFICATIONS IN A MANAGED NETWORK SERVICES SYSTEM - An approach for supporting automated fault isolation and recovery is provided. A notification configuration option is transmitted to a browser interface utilized by a user associated with a customer network that is monitored by a service provider, wherein the user selects the notification configuration option to input notification information. The notification information is received, via the browser interface, from the customer. A notification message is received from a platform configured to create a workflow event in response to an alarm indicative of a fault within the customer network, wherein isolation and recovery of the fault is performed according to the workflow event, the notification message including information about the customer network during the fault isolation and recovery process. The notification message is transmitted in accordance with the stored notification information. | 12-18-2008 |

20080278622 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR USING A SUBSET OF RECEIVE OPERATIONS FOR DETECTING DIGITAL AND ANALOG TELEVISION SIGNALS - Aspects of a method and system for processing signals in a television system using a subset of receive operations for detecting digital and analog television signals are provided. The system and method may be deployed in, for example, cable TV set-top boxes, cable TV modems, and television receivers, which may be coupled to a cable TV or over-the-air terrestrial network. Performing only a subset of receiver operations may allow detection of the type of signal; for example digital QAM, digital VSB, or analog; present in a television channel. In this regard, it is not necessary to generate and validate a bit stream in order to detect if a signal is present and/or the type of signal present. | 11-13-2008 |
20090119732 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DIRECT SAMPLED DIGITAL AND ANALOG DEMODULATOR TV RECEIVER WITH BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY - A second coaxial-connector may be added to a TV receiver that directly samples digital or analog format TV signals, which may be received via a first coaxial-connector. The second coaxial-connector may enable backwards compatibility with one of plurality of available consumer audiovisual devices, wherein Audio/Video (A/V) analog and/or digital modulation format feeds from the consumer audiovisual device may be inputted directly into the TV receiver via the second coaxial-connector. The A/V feed from the consumer audiovisual devices may be demodulated via a common demodulator for similarly modulated TV signals in the TV receiver. Filtering and/or amplification of the local A/V feed may be performed via dedicate components; however, analog-to-digital conversion of the local A/V feed may either be performed via the dedicated converter or via a common-path converter. The local A/V feed may also be demodulated directly, via a dedicated demodulator. | 05-07-2009 |
