  • Patent number: 11611589
    Abstract: A data storage system can consist of a network controller connected to a data storage device and a remote host. An attack mitigation strategy may be generated with an attack module connected to the network controller in response to detected data storage conditions in the data storage device. The attack mitigation strategy can be executed with the attack module by sending separate first and second security queries to the data storage device over time. At least a powered move attack can then be identified based on the second security query.

  • Patent number: 11552317
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for generating green electrical power. During a hydrogen gas storage mode, an electrolyzer generates a stream of hydrogen gas from water supplied by a water source and using power from an input power source. A hydrogen tank temporarily stores the stream of hydrogen. During a power generation mode, a fuel cell converts the stream of hydrogen gas from the tank into output electrical power by combining the hydrogen with oxygen. An inverter conditions and supplies the electrical power to a local load. A controller circuit uses a system parameter to adaptively switch between the storage mode and the power generation mode. In some cases, external power is supplied during the generation and storage of the hydrogen gas from an electrical grid or a local renewable source such as a set of solar panels. Respective grid-tied, solar-tied, grid-only, off-grid, and electric vehicle charging configurations are provided.
