Filed:

May 23, 2013

Appl. No.:

13/900862

Inventors:

Joseph N. Ross - Oakland CA, US
Mark Schunder - South Lyon MI, US

Assignee:

FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC - Dearborn MI

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709201

Abstract:

An application activation method includes interfacing a vehicle computing system with a remote device using an interface protocol. The method also includes sending a query from the vehicle computing system to the remote device to determine applications and/or services available on the remote device that are capable of interaction with the vehicle computing system. Once the applications have been determined, the method includes selecting, at the vehicle computing system, an application or service from the determined available applications and/or services for interaction. The method also includes sending an instruction from the vehicle computing system to an agent on the remote device, the instruction including an indication that the selected application or service is to be activated. Finally, the method includes receiving confirmation, at the vehicle computing system, that the application or service has been activated.

International Classification:

G01C 21/00

US Classification:

701465

Abstract:

A computer-implemented tracking method includes receiving a tracking request at a vehicle associated computing system (VACS). The method also includes authenticating the tracking request and determining a vehicle location via a GPS in communication with the VACS. The method further includes transmitting the vehicle location from the VACS to a tracking request associated computing system (TRACS). The method also includes monitoring the vehicle for at least one delay-event. The method additionally includes transmitting data corresponding to the delay event to the TRACS, contingent on the occurrence of at least one delay-event.

US Patent:

Filed:

Mar 14, 1979

Appl. No.:

6/020537

Inventors:

Joseph H. Ross - Alameda CA
Richard J. Hall - Livermore CA

International Classification:

G01R 3102

US Classification:

324 51

Abstract:

A portable battery-powered audio cable tester having two jacks for connecting with the cable to be tested. A signal light and push-button "short" switch are connected with the battery such that the light will go on when a cable not having a "short" is connected to the tester and off when the "short" switch is opened, indicating such absence of a short. A second push-button "check" switch is connected across the jacks such that the tester can be checked when a malfunctioning cable is connected and the signal light fails to operate. A three position toggle switch, for indicating whether the malfunction is due to a broken conductor or an open shield, is connected so as to alternately bypass the conductor and ground wires, following release of the "check" switch. The normally open toggle switch is flipped upwardly or downwardly, such that the signal light will flash at one of the two readings, i. e. , broken conductor or open shield.

International Classification:

G06F 16/245
G06F 11/30
G06F 11/34

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for analyzing spans and traces associated with a microservices-based application executing in a distributed computing environment comprises aggregating a plurality of ingested spans associated with one or more applications executing in the distributed computing environment into a plurality of traces, wherein each of the plurality of ingested spans is associated with a plurality of tags. The method further comprises comparing durations of a set of related traces of the plurality of traces to determine patterns for the plurality of tags and generating a histogram that represents a distribution of the durations of the set of related traces. The method also comprises providing alerts for one or more tags from the plurality of tags associated with traces having a duration above a threshold based on the distribution of the durations.

Appl. No.:

16/265218

Inventors:

- San Mateo CA, US
Joseph Ari Ross - Redwood City CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 11/36
G06F 11/34
G06F 17/11
G06F 17/18

Abstract:

An analysis system receives a time series. The data values of the time series correspond to a metric describing a characteristic of the computing system that changes over time. The analysis system stores a statistic value that represents the stationarity of the time series. In response to receiving a most recent value, the analysis system assigns the most recent value as the leading value in a window before retrieving the trailing value of the window. The analysis system updates the statistic value to add an influence of the most recent value and remove an influence of the trailing value. If the statistic value is less than a threshold, the analysis system determines that the time series is stationary. In response to determining the time series is stationary, the analysis system assigns an alert to the metric. The analysis system detects an anomaly in the metric based on the assigned alert.

Joseph Ari Ross - Redwood City CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 9/50

G06F 17/30

Abstract:

A system receives a time series of data values from instrumented software executing on an external system. Each data value corresponds to a metric of the external system, e.g., a metric related to a potential resource shortage event. The system stores a level value representing a current estimate of the time series and a trend value representing a trend in the time series. The level and trend values are based on data in a window having a trailing value. In response to receiving a most recent value, the system updates the level value and the trend value to add an influence of the most recent value and remove an influence of the trailing value. The system forecasts based on the updated level and trend values, and in response to determining that the forecast indicates the potential resource shortage event, takes action, e.g., assigning additional resources to the instrumented software.
