  • Publication number: 20230185816
    Abstract: A method for managing big metadata using columnar techniques includes receiving a query request requesting data blocks from a data table that match query parameters. The data table is associated with system tables that each includes metadata for a corresponding data block of the data table. The method includes generating, based on the query request, a system query to return a subset of rows that correspond to the data blocks that match the query parameters. The method further includes generating, based on the query request and the system query, a final query to return a subset of data blocks from the data table corresponding to the subset of rows. The method also includes determining whether any of the data blocks in the subset of data blocks match the query parameters, and returning the matching data blocks when one or more data blocks match the query parameters.

    Abstract: A power supply includes a power factor correction (PFC) circuit, a PFC bypass circuit, and a decision circuit. The PFC circuit is configured to receive an input current from a power source and, when enabled, reduce current harmonics in the input current by shaping an input sinusoidal current waveform to match a phase and shape of a sinusoidal input voltage waveform. The PFC bypass circuit is configured to bypass the PFC circuit when the PFC circuit is disabled. The decision circuit includes a detection circuit configured to detect an output load of the power supply and is configured to output a PFC enable command based at least in part on the detected output load being greater than or equal to a threshold value and a determination that an input voltage of the power source is greater than or equal to a threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20230182601
    Abstract: A method for coordinating a discharge session in which direct current power is offloaded from a power supply, e.g., of an electric vehicle (EV), to a bidirectional offboard charging station includes, in response to connection of the power supply to the charging station via a charging cord set, exchanging charging data between the EV and charging station. This occurs over a low-voltage communication line, with charging data including power and current limits of the EV and charging station. In response to the limits being indicative of negative limits, with the negative limits representing a request for the discharge session, the method includes transmitting the EV power and current limits to the charging station to confirm the request. The discharge session is initiated in response to confirming the request through an exchange of a unique identifier indicating support for the discharge session.
