  • Patent number: 11025517
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for a sensor web for Internet of Things (“IoT”) devices. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a system can monitor a health status of an IoT sensor device of a plurality of IoT sensor devices. The system can determine that the health status of the IoT sensor device indicates a sensor malfunction experienced by the IoT sensor device, and in response, can generate and send an alert to a forensic analytics module. The alert can identify the sensor malfunction. In response to the alert, the forensic analytics module can determine a last known location of the IoT sensor device. The system can obtain a set of satellite images of the last known location of the IoT sensor device, and can utilize the set of satellite images of the last known location to determine a cause of the sensor malfunction.

  • Publication number: 20210151991
    Abstract: Devices and methods are disclosed for checking the state of health of rechargeable batteries. An electronic device comprises a plurality of rechargeable batteries and a controller, wherein the controller comprises a battery fuel gauge for performing a battery state of health check. The controller is configured to direct charge to connected loads and to transfer charge from the battery being checked to another battery during a battery state of health check. An example method comprises charging one battery to a full state, leaving another battery in a depleted state, and performing a state of health check on the battery in the full state while transferring charge via an intermediate controller from the battery in the full state to the battery in the depleted state.

  • Patent number: 11010510
    Abstract: A software-based (“soft”) real-time hub designed and implemented for use in simulation (or control testing) systems such as to provide a modular soft-real-time PIL. A simulation system of the present description typically may include one or more of the following useful subsystems or components: (a) a soft-real-time hub; (b) simulation interfaces; and (c) hardware emulation subsystems/devices. The soft-real-time hub is typically a combination of hardware and software adapted to provide deterministic data transport between simulations and input/output (I/O) emulation. By creating a common point, the hub enables simulation modules to be swapped out as the simulation system progresses without the operator having to worry about interface timing, forcing, or data visualization. A desirable aspect of the simulation system is it allows for testing certain conditions by forcing I/O and then seeing how the controller or system under testing responds.

  • Patent number: 10873791
    Abstract: A compression method for resource constrained local area networks (LANs) of an Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) reduces the volume of raw data sent from “Things” to connection points on the LAN. Applications include industrial processes, and typically include multiple sensor nodes. Sensors on machines wirelessly send data to a base station using a wireless LAN. A computer or server in communication with the wireless LAN computes the health of a machine based on the data received. The method operates by taking advantage of unique similarities between sequential groups of certain types of data that can be sent on the LAN. Mathematical operations are performed on the baseline and subsequent data sets to determine similarities. A difference is taken between the baseline and subsequent data sets, and this difference is compressed and sent to the base station where the original data is reconstructed using the baseline data and uncompressed difference data.

  • Publication number: 20200341605
    Abstract: A system and method are presented for delivering modular tools through a cloud-based remote computing environment. Users may create and customize extensions to the modular tools for integration with the product system without requiring change to product. Using a script tag added to a website, a user is able to install the modular tool to a website. The modular tool extensions are able to directly communicate with handlers and websites and are able to become directly integrated with a premises-based product. This may be done through a multiplexed API exposed to the modular tool extensions that directly couples them to the premises-based product. The modular tools are able to be configured in the premises-based product, however they are hosted in the cloud and as such, the premises-based product is able to receive continuous integration and deployment from the cloud.

  • Patent number: 10727473
    Abstract: A secondary cell comprising a positive cathode electrode of capacity P (mAh) in communication with a liquid or gel electrolyte; an negative anode electrode of capacity N (mAh) in communication with the electrolyte; and a separator permeable to at least one mobile species which is redox-active at least one of the anode and the cathode; designed and constructed such that the anode capacity N is smaller than that of the cathode capacity P, hence N/P<0.9.
