Publication number: 20240069952Abstract: A plurality of different virtualization system images are configured for deployment to a plurality of nodes in heterogeneous environments. Individual ones of the virtualization system images are configured such that once deployed, the nodes form a computer cluster having a storage pool that is shared across the nodes. When configuring the virtualization system images, information that describes the heterogeneous computing environments is accessed, and constraints pertaining the heterogeneous computing environments are reconciled in advance of configuring the different virtualization system images. A common subnet across the heterogeneous environments is established. The plurality of different virtualization system images are configured to access the common subnet once deployed. The common subnet serves as a storage I/O communication path over which a cluster-wide storage pool is implemented.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Nutanix, Inc.Inventors: Joshua John BERRY, Mohan MATURI, Shlomo Shlomi VAKNIN, Aman NIJHAWAN, Anil Kumar KUSHWAH, Avi BHANDARI, Jan Ralf Alexander OLDERDISSEN

Patent number: 11235665Abstract: A vehicle includes an electric machine and a controller. The electric machine is configured to draw energy from a battery to propel the vehicle and to recharge the battery during regenerative braking. The controller is programmed to, in response to identifying a regenerative braking opportunity along an upcoming road segment based on a classification of driver behavior and a classification of the upcoming road segment, operate the electric machine to recharge the battery along the upcoming road segment.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2019Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Herbert David Mendez Pineda, David Ostrowski, Mohan John, Victoria Leigh Schein, William G. Herbert, Madeleine Itzel Santiago Estrada

Patent number: 10974567Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling an automatic climate control system of a vehicle include, by one or more onboard processors in operative communication with one or more sensors, initiating the automatic climate control system. The processors receive from the one or more sensors at least a vehicle input and a user identifier input. A unique user climate control system actuation action is implemented according to the received vehicle input and user identifier input provided by applying at least one predictive model to a stored set of climate control system operating parameters. A unique user climate control system operating pattern is implemented according to the received vehicle input and user identifier input provided by applying at least one different predictive model to the stored set of climate control system operating parameters.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2018Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: David Alfred Ostrowski, Elizabeth Anne Manwell, William Gordon Herbert, Mohan John
