Publication number: 20240146060Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for controlling the charging of electric vehicles (EVs) and other assets based on power flow information of a power grid. The strategic control of charging of the assets, by way of generated charging control information, contributes to an effort to respect technical constraints of the power system, thereby minimizing violations of the technical constraints, and thus minimizing damage to the power grid infrastructure. New power flow information for a subsequent time period may then be generated based on the at least part of the charging control information, and this new power flow information may then in turn be used to generate new charging control information for the subsequent time period. In addition, a method contribute to the generation of a solution to an optimal power flow (OPF) problem in the power grid based on strategic controlling of the charging of a plurality of assets in the power system.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Alexander LINCHIEH, Amir LOTFI, Devashish PAUL, Thomas TRIPLET

Patent number: 11947399Abstract: Systems and methods are described in which the location of a tap on the body of a handheld device is determined in real time using data streams from an embedded inertial measurement unit (IMU). Taps may be generated by striking the handheld device with an object (e.g., a finger), or by moving the handheld device in a manner that causes it to strike another object. IMU accelerometer, gyroscopic and/or orientation (relative to the magnetic and/or gravitational pull of the earth) measurements are examined for signatures that distinguish a tap at a location on the body of the device compared with signal characteristics produced by taps at other locations. Neural network and/or numerical methods may be used to perform such classifications.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Kibeam Learning, Inc.Inventors: Nelson George Publicover, Alexander Paul Barangan, Lewis James Marggraff, Marc Michael Thomas
