  • Publication number: 20210242684
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for implementing a scalable hierarchical energy distribution grid utilizing homogeneous control logic are disclosed that provide distributed, autonomous control of a multitude of sites in an energy system using abstraction and aggregation techniques. A hierarchical energy distribution grid utilizing homogeneous control logic is provided that includes multiple control modules arranged in a hierarchy. Each control module can implement a same energy optimization scheme logic to directly control site energy resources and possibly energy resources of sites associated with control modules existing below it in the hierarchy. Each control module can act autonomously through use a similar set of input values to the common optimization scheme logic.

  • Patent number: 10999287
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a program for recovering access to a service associated with an account. The program provides a login credential to log into the account to receive the associated service. Next, the program receives an access continuation parameter (ACP) after logging into the account. The program then accesses the service and receives a rejection of a subsequent access to the service. The program then provides the ACP in lieu of the login credential to continue to receive the service.

  • Patent number: 10962941
    Abstract: Techniques for controlling a distributed generation management system may be provided. Real-time power generation information may be collected from sensors of energy generation systems that make up a grid of controlled systems. An aggregate real-time power generation requirement may be determined for the grid based on the real-time power generation information. Using the aggregate requirements, a power profile may be calculated for the grid that indicates a level of power generation for the grid. In some examples, a control signal to control power generation may be generated and provided to the controlled systems.

  • Publication number: 20200316370
    Abstract: An efficient nanoscale semiconducting optoelectronic system, containing a P/N acceptor donor organic hetrojunction which is optimized for neuronal stimulation—an organic electrolytic photocapacitor. The devices comprise a thin (80 nm) trilayer of metal and p-n semiconducting organic nanocrystals. When illuminated in physiological solution, these metal-semiconductor devices charge up, transducing light pulses into localized displacement currents that are strong enough to electrically stimulate neurons with safe light intensities.

  • Patent number: 10759524
    Abstract: A braking system may include a controller, a first wheel and a second wheel. The first wheel may be laterally displaced from the second wheel by a first distance. A first wheel speed sensor may be coupled to the first wheel and a second wheel sensor may be coupled to the second wheel. The controller may be configured to determine at least one of a slip ratio, a coefficient of friction, or a braking pressure of the second wheel in response to failure of the first wheel speed sensor. The controller may be configured to calculate a consistency value of the at least one of the slip ratio, the coefficient of friction, or the braking pressure. The controller may be configured to adjust a braking pressure of the first wheel speed sensor based upon the consistency value and the first distance.
