Patent number: 11487686Abstract: A method for integrating a further bus subscriber into a bus system, and a bus system, having a master module and subscribers disposed in series, includes the temporally consecutive method steps: in a first method step, the further bus subscriber transmits a data packet to the master module in order to log in to the master module, in a second method step, a bus subscriber disposed between the further bus subscriber and the master module stops the data packet and checks whether the bus system has already received a release, in a third method step, the first bus subscriber forwards the data packet to the master module if the bus system has not yet received a release, or in a third, in particular an alternative, method step, if the bus system has already received a release, the bus subscriber stores the data packet and waits until the release of the bus system is revoked and after the release has been revoked, forwards the stored data packet to the master module.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2020Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: SEW-EURODRIVE GMBH & CO.

Patent number: 11468097Abstract: Systems and methods for automated data curation and presentation are disclosed herein. The system can include a memory including a structured database and a plurality of storage bins. The system can include at least one server that can receive a packetized data file generated from a data file. This packetized data file can include a first packet generated from a content file of the data file, a second packet generated from metadata of the data file, and a third packet generated from a payload of the data file. The at least one server can automatically generate at least one tag for the packetized data file, which at least one tag is automatically generated based at least one key phrase identified in at least the targeted portion of the content file.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2019Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: IntellixAI, Inc.Inventors: Khan Mohammad Siddiqui, Robert Bakos, Gerard M.

Patent number: 11463316Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for discovering a network's topology and health. In some examples, a system can obtain, from at least one of a plurality of controllers on a network, a logical model of the network, the logical model including configurations of one or more objects defined for the network. Based on the logical model, the system can identify a respective location of the plurality of controllers in the network and a plurality of nodes in a fabric of the network. Based on the respective location of the plurality of controllers and plurality of nodes, the system can poll the plurality of controllers and plurality of nodes for respective status information, and determine a health and topology of the network based on the logical model, the respective location, and respective status information.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2019Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Divjyot Sethi, Chandra Nagarajan, Ramana Rao Kompella, Gaurav Gupta, Sundar Iyer

Patent number: 11436003Abstract: Internet-of-Things (“IoT”) controllers built using hardened industrial technologies which improve functionality and reliability, such as a fixed-loop model in which a loop is repeated with configured time periodicity where sensors are queried, sensor responses are read, configured calculations are performed, and logic rules are evaluated resulting in decisions made and outputs activated. A variety of redundancy techniques are utilized to provide continuous non-stop operation of IoT controllers to compensate for possible hardware and software failures. Robust IoT controller redundancy also allows periodic maintenance, software updates and security patch installation without shutting down the IoT controllers.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2020Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: Flowfinity Wireless, Inc.Inventors: Dmitry Mikhailov, Vadym Stetsiak
