  • Publication number: 20220032813
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic control of a configuration of electrical circuits are provided. An example system includes a plurality of electric power sources and a plurality of switches configured to connect and disconnect some of the electric power sources. The system may include a controller coupled to the switches. The controller may be configured to enable and disable the switches to cause a change in a configuration of the connections between the electric power sources. The electric power sources can include at least one generator and at least two batteries. The controller can be further configured to cause a change in the configuration to connect the two batteries in series to a load for discharging and connect the two batteries in parallel to the generator for recharging.

  • Patent number: 10819751
    Abstract: A processing device receives an event notification indicating a security configuration change of a cloud computing resource associated with a member account. In response, the processing device identifies a security policy associated with an administrative account corresponding to the member account and evaluates the security policy against the security configuration change to determine compliance with the policy. If not in compliance, the processing device generates a change event indicating a repair to the security configuration of the cloud computing resource to bring the security configuration into compliance with the security policy.
