  • Location of actor resources
    Patent number: 10778756
    Abstract: In an actor system, messages communicated to and from a first actor in a first location of an actor system can be monitored. A message frequency between the first actor and a second actor in a second location of the actor system can be determined. The message frequency can be compared to a threshold message frequency. A determination can be made whether to move the first actor from the first location based on comparison of the message frequency to the threshold message frequency.

  • Power supply communication system and method
    Publication number: 20070150761
    Abstract: A power supply system for providing power to a device includes a power supply separate from the device, a power supply communication module attached to the power supply, and a device communication module attached to the device. The device communication module communicates voltage and/or current requirements of the device to the power supply via the power supply communication module. A power line is included between the power supply and the device. A communication line may be included between the device communication module and the power supply communication module and/or the device communication module communicates wirelessly with the power supply communication module. The communication line may be separate from the power line or part of the power line. The power line has one end that is attachable to the device.
