Abstract: System and method for distributing electric power from a power distribution unit to an electric load are disclosed. The method includes receiving, by a monitoring circuit, electric power from a power source, the monitoring circuit being electrically connected to the electric load, connecting the electric load to a power outlet of the monitoring circuit, determining an impedance at the power outlet and, in response to an impedance being effectively measured at the power outlet, determining a status of the electric load. In response to the electric load being in the operational state, a short-circuit protection circuit of the monitoring circuit is inhibited during a given amount of time, the short-circuit protection circuit being configured to disconnect the electric load from the power distribution unit in response to a fault being detected and electric current is distributed from the power distribution unit to the electric load.

Abstract: A system for electric systems monitoring in a datacenter comprises a plurality of power distribution units (PDUs), each of the plurality of PDUs comprising a temporary buffer memory and a plurality of electric power outlets and is configured to sense one or more power parameters relating to each of its electric power outlets, generate electric system operating data, and, upon receipt of a request, transmit over a datalink operated on a power line at least a portion of the electric system operating data store in the temporary buffer memory to a networking device. The networking device, communicably connected to the plurality of PDUs, is configured to send requests to transmit the electric system operating data, receive the electric system operating data and emit commands to each of the plurality of PDUs. A method for electric systems monitoring in a datacenter is also provided.

Abstract: A method and system allow to store and retrieve data values and data structure in a memory of an embedded system, the memory also storing executable code uploaded to the embedded system by a first external system through a first version of a firmware. A serializer is configured to receive from the executable code, sizes of data, corresponding to a number of chunks of the data, together with values of the chunks, to form a series of bytes therewith through concatenation, to calculate a total size of the series of bytes, and to write to the memory, successively the total size and the formed series of bytes. A deserializer is configured to read from the memory, successively a total size and a series of bytes, to deconcatenate the series of bytes into successively sizes of data, corresponding to a number of chunks of the data, together with values of the chunks, and to send the same to the executable code.
