Patent number: 11982563Abstract: An apparatus powered by batteries may include a first processor and a second processor. The first processor may consume more electrical power than the second processor. The second processor acquires data from one or more sensors. At a predetermined time or other trigger, the second processor activates the first processor that is then used to send the acquired data to an external device. For example, items are stowed on the apparatus that includes weight sensors. The second processor awakens hourly, acquires weight data indicative of the weight of items stowed on the apparatus, and returns to a sleep mode. After 24 hours of acquiring weight data, the second processor activates the first processor to send the accumulated weight data to an external device, such as a server, using a network interface. Power consumption is substantially reduced, allowing the apparatus to operate without external power for extended periods of times.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2020Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Andrew William Staats, Charles Robert Watson, David Buuck, Dave Jonathan Lefkow, Paul Ellis

Publication number: 20240152409Abstract: A plurality of GPU clusters are communicatively coupled with one another via a plurality of network devices arranged in a hierarchical structure, wherein the GPU clusters includes at least a first GPU cluster operating at a first speed and a second GPU cluster operating at a second speed that is different than the first speed. A routing policy is configured for each network device, wherein the configuring includes establishing a mapping of each incoming port-link of the network device to a unique outgoing port-link of the network device. For a packet transmitted by a GPU of a host machine and received by a first network device, an incoming port-link of the first network device is determined on which the packet was received and based on the configuring, an outgoing port-link is identified that corresponds to the incoming port-link. The packet is forwarded on the outgoing port-link of the network device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Jagwinder Singh Brar, David Dale Becker, Jacob Robert Uecker

Publication number: 20240154435Abstract: An indexed sequence of bits in a buffer is allocated for tracking a battery charging state. The indexed sequence of bits has a first number of bits. A battery voltage of a rechargeable battery is sampled at a sampling rate. For each sampled battery voltage, the battery voltage is compared with a voltage threshold. A next bit position in the indexed sequence of bits is identified. In accordance with a determination that a comparison result is true, a predefined first value is added to the next bit position. A second number of bits that are filled with the predefined first value is determined. A ratio between the second number and the first number is also determined. In accordance with a determination that the ratio exceeds a threshold step-down ratio, a battery charge voltage is stepped down. The rechargeable battery is charged to a step-down voltage.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Michael Jonathon Chen, William Alan Saperstein, James Robert Lim, David Wang
