Abstract: Calibration of a non-contact current sensor provides improved accuracy for measuring current conducted through a conductor such as an AC branch circuit wire. In a calibration mode, a predetermined current is injected through a voltage sensing conductor integrated in the non-contact current sensor. The magnitude of the magnetic field is measured using a sensing element of the non-contact current sensor. Then, when operating in measurement mode, a current conducted in a wire passing through the non-contact current sensor is determined by correcting the output of the non-contact current sensor using the result of the measurement made in the calibration mode. The voltage sensing conductor is used to provide an indication of the magnitude and/or the phase of the electrostatic potential on the wire. The calibration current may be a DC current, and calibration may be performed while the conductor is carrying an AC current.

Abstract: Calibration of a non-contact voltage sensor provides improved accuracy for measuring voltage on a conductor such as an AC branch circuit wire. In a calibration mode, a predetermined voltage is imposed on a first voltage sensing conductor integrated in the non-contact voltage sensor, while a voltage on a second voltage sensing conductor is measured using a circuit of predetermined input impedance. The capacitance between the wire and each of the voltage sensing conductors may be the same, so that in measurement mode, when the first and second voltage sensing conductors are coupled together, the effective series capacitance provided in combination with the predetermined input impedance is four times as great. The results of the voltage measurement made in the calibration mode can thereby be used to adjust subsequent voltage measurements made in measurement mode with the first and second voltage sensing conductors combined in parallel.

Abstract: A detachable current sensor provides an isolated and convenient device to measure current passing through a cable such as an AC power cable or non-metallic (NM) sheathed cable. Information about the magnitude and or phases of the currents passing through and/or voltages on the conductors is obtained by measuring the magnetic field at multiple circumferential positions around the cable using multiple semiconductor magnetic field sensors. A processing subsystem coupled to the multiple semiconductor magnetic field sensors determines information about the currents flowing in the conductors of the cable, including the current magnitude(s), and/or the phases and number of phases present in the cable, which can form part of a power measurement system that is used for energy monitoring, and/or for control purposes.

Abstract: A method for managing power in a data processing system having multiple components includes determining a power budget for the system. Activity levels during a forthcoming time interval are then predicted for each of the components. Using the predicted activity levels, the power budget is allocated among the system components. An activity limit is then established for each component based on its corresponding portion of the power budget. The activity of a component is then monitored and, if the component's activity exceeds the component's corresponding activity limit, constrained. Determining the predicted level of activity may include determining a predicted number of instructions dispatched by a processor component or a predicted number of memory requests serviced for a system memory component. Allocating the power budget includes allocating each component its corresponding standby power and a share of the system power available for dynamic powering based on the expected levels of activity.

Abstract: A method for the display of standardized Internet pages (for example, in HTML or XML standard), generated for display on large-size screens, on a small display on hand-held devices (mini-computer, PDA or mobile radio device) is disclosed, in which the hand-held device can be provided with a mobile radio connection to the internet. A virtual large image memory is maintained in the device. Within the large virtual image the device display can be freely displaced as a readable image section. A zoom function permits an overview and coarse positioning of the detailed representation. The detailed representation can be continuously moved around within the virtual image in the form of a screen section by means of a pointer device (mouse pointer) by moving the mouse pointer to the display edge (and beyond). Switching can be performed at any time between the display modes.

Abstract: A method couples online and Internet services. Previously, personalized services in particular (e-mail etc.) are only available from Internet service providers via the telecommunications network and RAS/RADIUS access and not via the public Internet. Now the ISP is equipped with an open Internet application platform (OIA) coupled so that the ISP customer can take advantage of an extended range of services compared to usual Internet customers, even during access via the Internet. The method permits e-mails to be re-directed from the ISP server with a known address to the OIA platform, in such a way that the customer can use these services world-wide via the public Internet using any terminal via any network. One example is the use of a T-Online e-mail account from the fixed network and mobile telecommunications network, from home, at work and while travelling via foreign telephone networks and local and foreign company networks/LAN access.

Abstract: A method and system for decreasing power consumption in memory arrays having usage-driven power management provides decreased power consumption in the memory array of a processing system. Per-page usage information is gathered on memory by a memory controller and periodically evaluated by software. The software distinguishes between more frequently accessed pages and less frequently accessed pages by analyzing the gathered usage information and periodically migrates physical memory pages in order to group less frequently accessed pages and more frequently access pages in separately power-managed memory ranks. When used in conjunction with a usage-driven power management mechanism, the ranks containing the less frequently accessed pages can enter deeper power-saving states and/or any power-saving state for longer periods.

Abstract: A power management system schedules the voltage and frequency of processors in a data processing system based on two criteria. The first criterion is a prediction of the performance that the work currently running on the processor will experience at the different frequencies that are available. The second criterion is a system-wide constraint on the total power budget allocated to processors. Based on these criteria, low-level code sets the frequency and voltage of the processors in the system to match what the operating system is currently running on them.

Abstract: A method and system for power management including device controller-based device use evaluation and power-state control provides improved performance in a power-managed processing system. Per-device usage information is measured and evaluated during process execution and is retrieved from the device controller upon a context switch, so that upon reactivation of the process, the previous usage evaluation state can be restored. The device controller can then provide for per-process control of attached device power management states without intervention by the processor and without losing the historical evaluation state when a process is switched out. The device controller can control power-saving states of connected devices in conformity with the usage evaluation without processor intervention and across multiple process execution slices. The device controller may be a memory controller and the controlled devices memory modules or banks within modules if individual banks can be power-managed.

Abstract: Processing system performance is improved while meeting power management constraints in a processing system by using activity factor headroom estimation. The method and system estimate the power consumption of the system from a model that relates measured activities at a present operating point to power consumption for any available operating point of one or more processors in the system. The method then chooses the operating point(s) with the highest performance among the available operating points that will still meet budgetary constraints or specific thresholds of power consumption. The budgetary constraints or specific thresholds may be dynamically adjusted, and the method will update the operating point(s) to maintain safe operation and maximize performance. The method provides the best performance for the executing workload while ensuring safe operation.
