  • Grid tied, real time adaptive, distributed intermittent power
    Patent number: 9989949
    Abstract: A method for predicting the reactive power needs (or other power characteristic needs) for a plurality of customer circuits on an intermediate circuit operably connected to the grid by averaging measurements of utility power characteristics (such as power factor, frequency, and voltage) from a plurality of energy management controllers (or other measuring devices) connected to said customer circuits so that the utility or other grid participant can tailor its power output to meet active and reactive power needs (or other power characteristic needs) to improve transmission efficiency, increase capacity and avoid voltage fluctuations.

  • Decremental autocorrelation calculation for streamed data using components
    Patent number: 9985895
    Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computing system program products for decrementally calculating autocorrelation for streamed data in real time. Embodiments of the invention include decrementally calculating one or more components of autocorrelation at a specified lag in an adjusted computation window based on the one or more components of an autocorrelation at a specified lag calculated for a previous computation window and then calculating the autocorrelation at the specified lag for the adjusted computation window using the components. Decrementally calculating autocorrelation avoids visiting all data elements in the adjusted computation window and performing redundant computations thereby increasing calculation efficiency, saving computing resources and reducing computing system's power consumption.

  • Iterative autocorrelation function calculation for big data using components
    Patent number: 9967195
    Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computing device program products for iteratively calculating autocorrelation function for Big Data. Embodiments of the invention include iteratively calculating one or more components of an autocorrelation function at a specified range of lags in an adjusted computation window based on one or more components of an autocorrelation function at the specified range of lags calculated for a previous computation window and then calculating the autocorrelation function at the specified range of lags for the adjusted computation window using the iteratively calculated components. Iteratively calculating autocorrelation function avoids visiting all data elements in the adjusted computation window and performing redundant computations thereby increasing calculation efficiency, saving computing resources and reducing computing system's power consumption.

  • PROTECTIVE CASE FOR A COMPUTING DEVICE
    Publication number: 20180110306
    Abstract: A composite case for a computing device comprising a first portion to protect and detachably connect to a display portion. The first portion may have perimetral fasteners disposed on its edges. A second portion is for protecting and detachably connecting to an input device portion of the computing device. The second portion may have perimetral fasteners disposed on its edges. The display and input device portions can be detachably connected to each other through a multi-pivot hinge unit operable to rotate about one or more computing device axes defined between the display and input device portions to move the computing device between open and closed states. A hinge cover portion can be connected to the first portion operable to detachably receive and surround the multi-pivot hinge of the computing device. A protective shell can be formed between first and second portions.

  • Case for a computing device
    Patent number: 9941919
    Abstract: A system for protecting an electronic device and securely and conveniently carrying tangible portable contents therewith. The system may include a resilient portion dimensioned to detachably receive the electronic device by a continuous perimetral edge. The electronic device may be secured thereto by an inwardly extending, retaining lip of the perimetral edge. A rigid portion may be detachably connected to a rear surface of the resilient portion opposite the electronic device. The rigid portion may be dimensioned to shield at least part of the rear surface of the rigid portion. A cavity may be defined between the rigid portion and the rear surface of the resilient portion when the rigid portion is in a closed position. The cavity is operable to secure the tangible contents in the closed position and receive the tangible contents in an opened position.
