Patent number: 8190299Abstract: Systems and methods for designing and controlling distributed generation resources are disclosed. Monolithic or distributed controllers control the power requests sent to each distributed generation resource to achieve optimal efficiency using rule-based and/or fuzzy logic-based control techniques. High-impedance fault (HIF) detection circuitry allows power export to the utility grid in normal operating circumstances, and when an islanding condition is detected, ceases that export within two seconds and prevents further export until the condition is cleared.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2009Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Inventors: Steven M.

Patent number: 7146637Abstract: A method, computer program product, and data processing system, with which a unified security policy may be implemented using existing application components with disparate security mechanisms and user registries is disclosed. The present invention provides a generic application programming interface (API) that forms a framework for creating registry adapters. Registry adapters allow a policy director (an item of software for imposing a sitewide security policy) to operate with new or unfamiliar registry types by acting as a drop-in translator for converting generic registry-access commands into operations specific to the particular registry in question.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2001Date of Patent: December 5, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael Bradford Ault, Garry Lee Child, Larry George Fichtner, Dah-Haur Lin

Patent number: 7039804Abstract: A method and system for sharing existing user and group registry information between heterogeneous application servers is provided. The method and system make use of an adapter that communicates with each registry associated with each application server through a registry communication mechanism. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides an additional application-specific database to protect application-specific data that is required for each application server's operation but is not part of an existing database registry. Both the application-specific databases and existing user and group definitions in a user and group registry form a new registry abstraction which is required for each application server. As a result, each application server automatically shares user and group definitions with the existing database server. Furthermore, both the database server and each application server maintain a centralized user and group management model across different application domains.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2001Date of Patent: May 2, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Larry George Fichtner, Dah-Haur Lin

Patent number: 6739885Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a pin header 10 that can be mounted in an opening 4 in an electrically conductive case 2. The pin header 10 includes a molded pin header housing 12 that can be used in unfiltered as well as filtered and shielded versions. The filtered and shielded versions include a ground shield 20 or 50 that includes segmented cantilever tangs 26 or 56 extending along peripheral edges of the shield member 20 or 50. These tangs 26 or 58 mechanically grip the electrically conductive case 2 to establish ground continuity. One version of the ground shield 20 can be mounted on a printed circuit board to which filter capacitors 40 are soldered.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2002Date of Patent: May 25, 2004Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: Bobby Gene Ward, Larry George Novotny, David Allen Klein, Michael Henry Banas

Patent number: 6659783Abstract: Electrical connectors (40, 104) including contact terminals that can be unmated without previously disconnecting power include main contacts (12, 112) and auxiliary contacts (16, 130) that are shunted by a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistor (6, 140) located between the main and auxiliary contact. The main contact (12, 112) will be disconnected first and the auxiliary contact (16, 130) can be longer than the main contact (12, 112). Arcing will not occur at the mating end of the main contact (12, 112), because the current will be shunted to the still connected longer auxiliary contact (16, 130). I2R heating will increase the resistance in the PTC resistor (6, 140), so when the auxiliary contact (16, 130) is disconnected, current will be below the arcing threshold.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2001Date of Patent: December 9, 2003Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorpInventors: Charles Dudley Copper, Henry O. Herrmann, Jr., Randy Thomas Matthews, Larry George Novotny, Jeremy Patterson, Norbert Krause, Horst Teutschlaender
