  • Patent number: 11974191
    Abstract: A method (50) of, a node device (100) and a computer program product arranged for alerting node devices in a network of operatively interconnected node devices by transmitting an alerting message comprising a geographic location address of an originator node device (21) transmitting the alerting message and a moving direction (12) of an object (11) receiving service from the originator node device (21). When a receiving node device (24, 25) determines, based on its geographic location address, the geographic location address of the originator node device (21) and the moving direction (12), that the object (11) is approaching the receiving node device (24, 25), it transmits the alerting message comprising the geographic location address of the originator node device (21) and the moving direction (12).

  • Patent number: 11971796
    Abstract: An approach is provided in which the approach builds a combination model that includes a normal status model and an abnormal status model. The normal status model is built from a set of time-sequenced normal status records and the abnormal status model is built from a set of time-sequenced abnormal status records. The approach computes a set of time-sequenced coefficient combination values of the normal status model and the abnormal status model based on applying a set of fitting coefficient characteristics to the normal status model and the abnormal status model. The approach performs goal seek analysis on a system using the combination model and the set of time-sequenced coefficient combination values.

  • Patent number: 11972252
    Abstract: A docker image is received. The docker image is for a container. The container contains files that allow for virtualization of applications that run within the container. The docker image is parsed to identify layer files in the docker image. Installed software components (e.g., installed files) and/or hardware components in the layer files are identified. Software application index calls are made to generate information that identifies relationships between the installed software components and/or hardware components. The relationships between the installed software components and/or hardware components are then displayed to a user.

  • Patent number: 11726538
    Abstract: A method and a device are for power supply switchover in a power system, including two power supplies, each being connected to a bus through an incoming line. The power supply currently in operation is used as the main power supply and the other power supply is used as a backup power supply. Both the incoming line and the bus have three phases, and the lines are connected by their phases. In an embodiment, the method includes: determining whether there is at least one sound phase among the three phases after identifying a fault in the power system; and if there is, obtaining a power data on the sound phase before the main power supply is disconnected. The power data is usable to determine whether the backup power supply meets the condition for connecting in the quick mode after the main power supply is disconnected.
