  • Patent number: 11954322
    Abstract: At least certain embodiments of the present disclosure include an environment with a framework of software code interacting with a plurality of applications to provide gesture operations in response to user inputs detected on a display of a device. A method for operating through an application programming interface (API) in this environment includes displaying a user interface that includes a respective view that is associated with a respective application of the plurality of applications. The method includes, while displaying the respective view, detecting, via the software code, a user input within the region of the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to the respective view, and, in response, in accordance with a determination that the user input is an inadvertent user input, ignoring the user input. The determination that the user input is an inadvertent user input is made based on an inadvertent user input call transferred through the API.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for solving Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) problems, such as Security Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC) problems used by power grid authorities to perform day-ahead market clearing. In certain examples, a plurality of threads of a software tool implementing a concurrent optimizer can be executed concurrently and sequentially to generate new solutions to a SCUC problem for an upcoming planning horizon. Data can be shared among the concurrently executing threads, such as intermediate/incumbent solutions and hints regarding the fixing of variables and constraints to reduce the size of the SCUC problem. In some examples, the threads are seeded with historical solutions from prior planning horizons. The software tool can select a best solution from the solutions generated by the threads, and determine dispatch instructions for a device coupled to the power grid for the upcoming planning horizon based at least in part on the selected solution.

The method commences with connecting with a MoM system and converting information associated with the MoM system into a standardized object model. The standardized object model may include a queue-based node, at least one producer application, and at least one consumer application. The at least one producer application provides a message to the queue-based node. The at least one consumer application receives the message from the queue-based node. The message persists in the queue until consumed by the at least one consumer application. The method continues with generating a standardized graph of relationships between a producer and a consumer over a period of time. The method further includes creating a policy, periodically analyzing the standardized graph for at least one deviation from the policy, and issuing an alert in response to detecting the at least one deviation.

  • Patent number: 11868151
    Abstract: A system for controlling energy consumption. The system may incorporate devices configured on a floor map, a monitor that detects energy consumption by each device, a heat map shown on the floor map, a processor, and a user interface having a display connected to the processor. The heat map may indicate energy consumption in various areas of the floor plan. The floor map with the heat map may be a screen on the display. The energy consumption by each of the devices from the monitor may be calculated by the processor in time that each device is active and in a power rating of the respective device. The energy consumption by each of the devices may be converted by the processor into cost. From a screen, a user may define a virtual and dynamic zone to optimize and control the energy consumption.

  • Patent number: 11853084
    Abstract: An adaptive gas mixture controller system. A pulse oximeter interface receives pulse oximeter data. A gas blender interface communicates with a separate externally connected gas blender. A processor receives pulse oximeter data via the pulse oximeter interface and outputs data to the gas blender interface for adaptive feedback control of the gas mixture based upon the SpO2 level signals from the pulse oximeter interface. When the processor receives data from the gas blender indicating that the gas mixture has been manually changed, enters a manual override mode and halts sending adaptive feedback control signals to the gas blender. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.

  • Patent number: 11836645
    Abstract: In various examples, performance capabilities of a consumer—such as inference rates of a neural network executing on underlying hardware—may be tested or demonstrated for producers that have lower production rates than consumption rates of the consumer. For example, augmented data instances may be leveraged to augment production data from the producer in order to increase a frequency of transmission of data instances to a consumer. As a result, a data set including additional or alternative instances of data may be generated to emulate real-world data for demonstrating potential performance capabilities of a consuming algorithm beyond a currently required performance capability corresponding to a producer.
