  • Publication number: 20250180667
    Abstract: In a particular embodiment, improving reliability, availability, and safety in a system using in-connector thermal monitoring includes identifying an expected installation of connections among devices in a system. Temperature data collected by one or more thermal sensors of one or more connectors in the system is received by a connection monitoring module. The connection monitoring module determines, based on the expected installation and the temperature data, whether a fault is present in one or more connections of the system.

  • Publication number: 20250149888
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product verify electrical power distribution system suitability. The method includes obtaining power consumption characteristics from a computer server. The method also includes generating a test power load based on the power consumption characteristics. The method further includes identifying a power source and applying the test power load to the power source. In addition, the method includes determining a connection suitability for the power source based on a response of the power source to the test power load. Lastly, the method includes displaying the connection suitability for the power source on a device.

  • Publication number: 20250116693
    Abstract: Described are techniques for electrical grid origination determination using Power Line Disturbance (PLD) characteristics. The techniques include detecting a first PLD in a first voltage feed of a first power unit at a first time. The techniques further include comparing the first PLD to other PLDs aggregated from multiple power units. The techniques further include determining that the first voltage feed of the first power unit originates from a same source as a second power unit based on a similarity between the first PLD and a second PLD of the second power unit satisfying a similarity threshold and occurring within a same timeframe proximate to the first time. The techniques further include recording that the first power unit and the second power unit receive power from a same source.

  • Patent number: 12270848
    Abstract: A signal-analysis-based process for detecting and correcting power feeds is provided. The process includes obtaining voltage waveform data for power feeds connected to a system, and determining for the power feeds, using the obtained voltage waveform data, at least one respective signal characteristic. Further, the process includes comparing the respective signal characteristics of the power feeds to ascertain at least one signal characteristic difference between the power feeds. Based on the at least one signal characteristic difference not exceeding at least one respective difference limit, the process determines that the power feeds are not separately-sourced redundant power feeds connected to the system, and based on determining that the power feeds are not separately-sourced redundant power feeds, the process initiates a corrective action to ensure that the system is connected to separately-sourced redundant power feeds.

  • Publication number: 20250088031
    Abstract: A technique for determining an electrical grid power source using a power line signal which includes electronic communication using a power line between a host device and power supply units (PSUs) on an electrical power grid. The host device can designate a PSU as a signal generator and designate remaining PSUs as signal receivers. The host device generates a signal onto the power line used by the PSUs. The signal is detected at each of the receivers on the power line. A response by one of the receivers to the host device, is in response to the detection of the signal at the receiver. An electronic communication device receives communication from the host device that the signal is detected by the receiver.

  • Publication number: 20240146063
    Abstract: A power distribution unit (PDU) of a disclosed embodiment comprises a configurable PDU architecture providing phase redundancy. The configurable PDU architecture comprises a switch bank having power inputs Phase A, Phase B, Phase C, and Neutral and providing respective phase outputs to respective connected loads. A switching control receives sense inputs and provides configuration controls to the switch bank. The switch bank switches in an alternate phase input when a primary phase fails providing phase redundancy and continued reliable operations with the loss of a single input phase. The PDU of one or more disclosed embodiments enables universal input power configurations including Single phase, Delta, and Wye configurations.

  • Patent number: 11489344
    Abstract: In an approach for selecting a battery charging rate, a processor, responsive to an electronic device with a rechargeable battery being connected to a battery charging device, identifies a current battery status of the rechargeable battery. A processor determines a disconnect time of the battery charging device. A processor determines a charge level required. A processor determines a charging profile based on the current battery status, the disconnect time of battery charging device, and the charge level required. A processor sends the charging profile to the battery charging device.

  • Publication number: 20180059801
    Abstract: Systems and method are provided for entering alphanumeric input into an electronic device. The systems include two devices with a viscoelastic casing in the size of a user's hand, and a plurality of sensors are arranged such that when the user grasps the holding section, the user's fingers substantially overlay the keys. The device may also include a pointer control device such as accelerometer to control the pointer in a computer without the need for the user from switching between another pointer control device such as a mouse and the handheld keyboard. When the user applies a pressure to a sensor, the viscoelastic casing deforms until the internal strain equals to the pressure.
