Patent number: 11473799Abstract: A flow control device is configured to control fluid flow in an HVAC system. The flow control device includes a valve, an actuator configured to open and close the valve, and one or more sensors. The flow control device further includes a fault detection and correction agent configured to receive data from the one or more sensors, analyze the data according to a set of rules, and detect whether one or more faults have occurred. In response to detecting a fault, the fault detection and correction agent is configured to either operate the actuator to open or close the valve or initiate a corrective action to be taken by another device in the HVAC system.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: JOHNSON CONTROLS TYCO IP HOLDINGS LLPInventors: Sudhi R.

Patent number: 10067860Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for defining test bed requirements. A described technique includes receiving data specifying a first test to be performed for a software application. The data identifies test bed requirements for the first test. Data identifying characteristics of each of available test beds are obtained. Each available test bed includes one or more computing resources on which software tests are performed. The characteristics of each available test bed specify characteristics of the one or more computing resources included in the available test bed. A determination is made that the characteristics of a particular test bed of the available test beds satisfy the test bed requirements for the first test. In response to determining that the characteristics of the particular test bed satisfy the test bed requirements, the first test is performed using the particular test bed.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2014Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Rishi Kant Sharda, Vineet Sinha, Prasenjit Sarkar

Patent number: 9569744Abstract: Various embodiments include at least one of systems, methods, and software for product notice monitoring. Some embodiments include at least one product notice database that is an aggregation of product notices, such as product recalls, bulletins, safety notices, updated usage guidelines, and the like, that may be issued by various different sources. The product notice database is monitored in such embodiments in view of products of an organization to identify possible matches. When a possible match is identified, the notice is provided to the organization. Some embodiments may include routing the notice to particular people or departments responsible for the relevant product(s) of the notice. The matching in some embodiments may be relative matching based on one or more forms of fuzzy logic, which allows for approximate matching, although not necessarily identical. The product notice monitoring may be performed in whole or in part in the cloud.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2012Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: Symberion Corp.Inventors: Vineet Sinha, Ajmal Nasar
