Patent number: 11316349Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a recloser control that provides autosynchronization of a microgrid to an area electric power system (EPS). For example, a recloser control may include an output connector that is communicatively coupled to a recloser at a point of common coupling (PCC) between the area EPS and the microgrid. The recloser control may include a processor that acquires a first set of measurements indicating electrical characteristics of the area EPS and acquires a second set of measurements indicating electrical characteristics of the microgrid. The recloser control may send synchronization signals to one or more distributed energy resource (DER) controllers to synchronize one or more DERs to the area EPS based on the first set of measurements and the second set of measurements.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2019Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Craig Thompson, Scott M Manson

Patent number: 11262232Abstract: Functionality of sensors on a shelf or other inventory location is tested by encouraging an interaction and determining if the output from the sensors on the shelf is consistent with the interaction. An interaction at the shelf can include, for example, a user adding or removing an item from the shelf. To encourage this type of interaction with the shelf or items therein, an announcement may be generated and presented to a user. The announcement may comprise an advertisement with some type of incentive for the user to add or remove an item from the shelf. Upon verifying such an interaction, sensor data before and after the interaction can be compared to generate diagnostic data for the sensor, which can indicate whether the sensor is operational or malfunctioning.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2020Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Alexander Michael McNamara, Sridhar Boyapati, Aaron Craig Thompson, David Echevarria Ignacio, David William Bettis, Korwin Jon Smith

Patent number: 11218023Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a recloser control that detects islanding based on a continuous analysis of frequency and rate of change of frequency. For example, a recloser control may include protection circuitry that is communicatively coupled to a recloser. The recloser control may receive measurements of an electrical characteristic in an electric power delivery system. The recloser control may determine frequency (F) and a rate of change of frequency (ROCOF) based on the received measurements. The recloser control may detect islanding of a microgrid in the electric power delivery system based at least in part on F and ROCOF. The recloser control may send a signal to the recloser to trip the recloser based on the islanding of the microgrid.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2019Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Scott M Manson, Craig Thompson

Patent number: 10733565Abstract: Described is an interactive data processing system configured to facilitate selection by a human associate of tentative values generated by an automated system from sensor data. In one implementation, an event may take place in a materials handling facility. The event may comprise a pick or place of an item from an inventory location, movement of a user, and so forth. The sensor data associated with the event is processed by an automated system to determine tentative values associated with the event. In some situations, an uncertainty may exist as to which of the tentative values accurately reflects the actual event. The sensor data and tentative values may be provided to a human associate. The associate may select one of the tentative values. The selected tentative value and the sensor data may be used to train the automated system.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Christopher Andrew Stephens, Alexander Clark Prater, Alexander Michael McNamara, Sridhar Boyapati, David Echevarria Ignacio, David William Bettis, Korwin Jon Smith, Kevin Alexander Lee, Aaron Craig Thompson, Gary Paolo Raden, Sudarshan Narasimha Raghavan, Dilip Kumar, Félix Joseph Étienne Pageau

Patent number: 10724895Abstract: Described are systems and techniques configured to test sensors in a materials handling facility. In one implementation, an age of a user in the facility and a predicted path through the facility may be determined. Physical access controls may be initiated at inventory locations along the predicted path and adjacent to the user. The physical access controls may include deployment of physical barriers, activation of locks, and so forth. As another user who is permitted access approaches a particular inventory location, the physical access controls may be deactivated.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2014Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Alexander Michael McNamara, Sridhar Boyapati, Aaron Craig Thompson, David Echevarria Ignacio, David William Bettis, Korwin Jon Smith
