    Abstract: Method and system for safety monitoring of a rechargeable lithium battery powering an electrical device. Primary parameters of battery are measured during a normal operation of the electrical device. Primary parameters may include: DC current; DC voltage; state of charge; measurement timestamps; battery temperature and ambient temperature. Primary parameters are processed to derive secondary parameters, and to determine a state of risk (SOR) of battery based on primary parameters and secondary parameters, during normal operation of electrical device. Processing may apply resistors-capacitors model and/or machine learning model. SOR determination may be based on comparison with baseline value reflecting baseline condition of battery. SOR may include categories of No Fault Found (NFF); Potential Fault Found (PFF); and Fault Found (FF). Alert of a potential short circuit derived hazard may be provided and/or countermeasure may be implemented responsive to determined SOR, such as when SOR category is PFF or FF.

    Abstract: A method for generating garage parking notifications includes receiving current parked-vehicle data indicating that a vehicle has been parked inside a garage. The current parked-vehicle data includes the current location of the vehicle parked inside the garage. The method further includes determining whether the current location of the vehicle inside the garage is within a warning zone. The warning zone is an area inside the garage where the vehicle has not been frequently parked. The warning zone area is determined using historical parked-vehicle data. The method further includes generating a notification to warn an operator of the vehicle that the vehicle should be moved in response to determining that the current location of the vehicle inside the garage is within the warning zone.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided in a vehicle having a Hitch Articulation Angle (HAA) calculation system for estimating an HAA between the vehicle and a towed trailer. The method includes: receiving a plurality of ultrasonic sensor (USS) range measurements for a first USS on the vehicle while the vehicle is towing the trailer in a forward direction; receiving a plurality of HAA values calculated using geometric equations or a kinematic model that correspond to the plurality of USS range measurements; receiving a USS range measurement for the first USS while the vehicle is operating in a reverse direction or experiencing a high HAA but not from a second USS; estimating an HAA value from the USS range measurement by applying the USS curve characteristics for the first USS; and providing the estimated HAA value to a vehicle motion control system for use in controlling vehicle and trailer motion.
