  • Patent number: 11987149
    Abstract: A system for reducing overconsumption of power in a vehicle includes a power source including a battery having a state of charge (SOC), and a fuel cell stack that generates electricity. The system further includes an electronic control unit (ECU) coupled to the power source and designed to receive a power request corresponding to a requested amount of power from the power source. The ECU is further designed to determine a fuel cell power amount corresponding to an amount of the electricity generated by the fuel cell stack to achieve the requested amount of power. The ECU is further designed to determine an overconsumption event when a current power consumption corresponding to a total amount of power being drawn from the power source is greater than the power request. The ECU is further designed to increase the fuel cell power amount in response to determining the overconsumption event.

  • Patent number: 11989436
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to selection and variation of extent size thresholds in a storage volume. Examples may select an extent size threshold for a volume according to a type of application that is to store data on the volume. Examples may dynamically vary the extent size threshold based on data reduction metrics, such as deduplication ratio and/or compression ratio. Examples may dynamically vary the extent size threshold for the volume based on cache performance metrics, such as cache miss rate. Examples may dynamically vary the extent size threshold for the volume based on an amount of dead storage space corresponding to partially overwritten extents in the volume.
