Title: Michael Womack: Vehicle Diagnostic Data Management

Introduction

Michael Womack is an inventor based in Sandy Springs, Georgia, and is associated with Samsara Inc. His patent work addresses the management of vehicle diagnostic data, including how to handle gaps in data reported by a vehicle.

Latest Patents

Womack is named on one patent: “Managing Vehicle Diagnostic Data Using Filtering and Interpolation Methods.” The invention describes systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing vehicle diagnostic data. Its method detects when a vehicle’s Engine Control Unit (ECU) data is missing during a time period, examines distance data reported during that period, and determines whether the vehicle traveled faster than a threshold speed. A filtering algorithm then generates a spotty data point, and overlapping distance data is excluded from the vehicle’s diagnostic data.

Career Highlights

Womack’s patent reflects work on improving the handling of incomplete or inconsistent vehicle data. The described approach uses reported distance and speed information to identify data that may not reliably represent vehicle operation.

Collaborations

Womack’s listed coworkers include Stephen Valenta and Lucas Wonderley. The available information does not specify their roles in the patent or their contributions to the invention.

Conclusion

Michael Womack’s patent focuses on filtering vehicle diagnostic data when ECU reports are missing, highlighting a practical approach to managing gaps in connected-vehicle information.
