Patent number: 11965664Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems, apparatuses, and methods for monitoring building efficiency by a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. In an aspect, an HVAC unit including a memory and a processor coupled with the memory is disclosed. The processor may be configured to establish a current building efficiency state value of a current run cycle of the HVAC system. The processor may also be configured to determine an building efficiency state deviation value based on a difference between an average building efficiency state value of a set of previous building efficiency state values and the current building efficiency state value. The processor may further be configured to determine whether the building efficiency state deviation value satisfies a building inefficiency threshold.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Tyco Fire & Security GmbHInventors: Madhuka Manuranga Jayarathne, Theresa Thy N.

Patent number: 10713145Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes generating static analysis data by performing static analysis on a program. A breakpoint is set in the program automatically, by a computer processor, based on the static analysis data. The breakpoint is hit during a runtime of the program. A program bug is automatically identified at a context location of the breakpoint when the breakpoint is hit during the runtime of the program. An interactive debugging session of the program is launched automatically at the context location of the breakpoint, based on the identifying the program bug.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Francisco M. Anaya, John Michael Chase, Yingcong Guan, Roger H.E. Pett, Trong Truong, Jian Xu

Publication number: 20120192920Abstract: An apparatus for improving the efficiency and usability of a solar energy collection panel is provided. In one embodiment, the collection panel comprises a plurality of layers. The first layer is a photovoltaic layer that converts the solar energy into electricity. That layer is coupled to a thermoelectric conversion layer that sinks heat from the photovoltaic layer and generates electricity based on the temperature difference between the top and bottom of the layer. A fluid heating layer is then coupled to and sinks heat from the thermoelectric layer to heat up a fluid, e.g. air or water. Each of these layers is stacked together and placed above an insulation layer that supports the layers and thermally isolates them from the surrounding environment. In another embodiment, a flexible coiled solar energy collection panel is provided. In still another embodiment, a modular rail system is provided for simple and customizable installation.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2011Publication date: August 2, 2012Applicant: Total Energy Renewable Power Systems, LLCInventors: William Paul McCowan, John Spence Hayes Chapman, JR., Michael Chase Chapman, Donald George Myers, Bruce Barton Vance

Patent number: 7908665Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for “cloaked” data objects in an electronic content management system. A “cloaked” data object is one that is inaccessible and unreadable by a user, but one which the user is permitted to know exists. The cloaked object may allow the user to know the scope of use of an object, without revealing the substantive content of the data object. A client application may process the cloaked object in a manner that is no different than manner in which the client processes an uncloaked version of the same data object.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2006Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: AUTODESK, IncInventor: Michael Chase

Patent number: 7797339Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture for providing security architecture for content management systems. An audit log table separates security concerns in framework code from application concerns in application code. Application developers place database access code in stored procedures. Each stored procedure records a unique identifier for each object involved in the database access code into an audit log, for later security checking by framework code. After executing the stored procedure, the framework code determines whether the stored procedure was authorized by checking the audit log and access control lists stored in the database. If not, an access violation error may be returned and the database may be rolled back.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2006Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignee: Autodesk, Inc.Inventor: Michael Chase
