Patent number: 11960255Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for shaping compute load using virtual capacity. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining a load forecast that indicates forecasted future compute load for a cell, obtaining a power model that models a relationship between power usage and computational usage for the cell, obtaining a carbon intensity forecast that indicates a forecast of carbon intensity for a geographic area where the cell is located, determining a virtual capacity for the cell based on the load forecast, the power model, and the carbon intensity forecast, and providing the virtual capacity for the cell to the cell.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Ana Radovanovic, Alexandre Nobrega Duarte, Binayak Roy, Diyue Xiao, Walfredo da Costa Cirne Filho, Maya Haridasan, Ross Koningstein, Eric Alexander Mullen

Patent number: 11065205Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention is concerned with a treatment where it is desired that an active agent is designed to be released immediately following administration and again at a time point some time after administration of the active agent. The present invention is particularly suited to administering an agent which may be released before sleep and whilst a subject is sleeping. As well as treating certain conditions by a particular regime, the invention also provides novel formulations for an immediate, followed by a delayed release of drug.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2018Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: DRUG DELIVERY INTERNATIONAL LIMITEDInventors: Alexander Mullen, Howard Stevens, Sarah Eccleston

Patent number: 9283192Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention is concerned with a treatment where it is desired that an active agent is designed to be released in a prolonged manner at a time point some time after administration of the active agent. The present invention is particularly suited to administering an agent which may be released whilst a subject is sleeping, shortly before waking and continues to administer the drug during the early waking hours. As well as treating certain conditions by a particular regime, the invention also provides novel formulations for a delayed, followed by a prolonged release of drug.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2011Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF STRATHCLYDEInventors: Alexander Mullen, Howard Stevens, Sarah Eccleston
