  • Patent number: 11972026
    Abstract: Program products, methods, and systems for simulating and/or preventing the dissemination of sensitive information over the internet are disclosed. Preventing dissemination of user-specific sensitive information over the internet may include analyzing content included in media posts, calculating a danger score for the media post, and determining if the calculated danger score exceeds a danger score threshold. Where the calculated danger score does not exceed the threshold, the media post has no or a low risk of disseminating sensitive information over the internet. However, if the calculated danger score does exceed the threshold, the user is alerted that the media post may undesirably disseminate sensitive information. The danger score may represent a sensitive information exposure risk for the media post is based on a variety of factors and/or characteristics of the media post and/or the user creating and attempting to disseminate the media post.

  • Patent number: 11973339
    Abstract: A T-breaker is an all-in-one solution for dc microgrid fault protection, power flow control, and power quality improvement. A T-breaker features a modular multilevel “T” structure with integrated energy storage devices. The two horizontal arms of the T-breaker realize fault current breaking, load voltage compensation, and power flow control; and the vertical arm of the T-breaker realizes shunt compensation. The configuration provides excellent voltage scalability and relaxes the requirements on the switching signal synchronization during fault transients. The local energy storage in sub-modules eases the fault energy dissipation requirement placed on the traditionally-adopted surge arrestors. The modular multilevel structure also offers immense control flexibility for all types of targeted functions of the provided T-breaker.
