  • Patent number: 10295212
    Abstract: A system for controlling a load control relay (LCR) supplying power to a thermostat of a heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a controller programmed to maximize the amount of time that a load of the HVAC system may receive power. The controller operates by measuring a thermostat delay time of the thermostat and modifying cycle shed and restore times for controlling the LCR based on the measured thermostat delay time. By controlling the LCR according to the modified cycle shed and restore times, the controller compensates for the thermostat delay time, and the load is able to be active for a longer period of time than it otherwise would be when operating under demand-response controls.

  • Patent number: 8370537
    Abstract: A test system 100 that can accept a plurality of plug-in electronic cards in Xi Slots 126 or PXI slots 134 is described. The test or source measure switching system 100 includes a sequencer or sequence engine 130 which is fully capable of executing opcode instructions having potentially indefinite completion times and monitoring multiple asynchronous inputs simultaneously without interrupts. The sequencer 130 is sequential and deterministic to approximately 10 microsecond resolution. The sequencer 130 includes a trigger router which can be a fully configurable trigger input and trigger output routing matrix. Every trigger input can be configured via several detection modes such as active high, active low, level high and level low. Also, trigger outputs can be configured to be triggered on single, multiple or auto triggers if set.

The test or source measure switching system 100 includes a sequencer or sequence engine 130 which is fully capable of executing opcode instructions having potentially indefinite completion times and monitoring multiple asynchronous inputs simultaneously without interrupts. The sequencer 130 is sequential and deterministic to approximately ten microsecond resolution.

  • Patent number: 7756834
    Abstract: A method and computer program product with encoded instructions provides for repeatedly making data backups for files by making a series of snapshots of file storage volumes containing the files. The method and computer product further provide for determining that a malware attack has occurred, identifying corrupted files and, for each corrupted file, scanning the series of snapshots to identify an uncorrupted version of the file. Each corrupted file is restored to an uncorrupted version thereof. An event log contains write events and snapshot creation events corresponding to creation of each of the snapshots. A forensic scan scans the event log to determine modifying writes made by the corrupted files and which modified further files. The further files are restored to unmodified versions thereof. A list of at-risk files includes the corrupted files and the further files and the forensic scan is repeated on the at-risk files.
