  • Publication number: 20250067112
    Abstract: In one aspect, a garage door opener system includes a battery configured to be charged by a power source, a controller coupled to the battery, the controller configured to operate a motor that is powered only by the battery, at least one sensor coupled to the motor and the controller, the at least one sensor generating sensor data, and a battery monitoring system coupled to the battery, the controller, and the least one sensor, the battery monitoring system configured to monitor a power consumption of the battery and a state of the battery, and to update an operation configuration of the controller based on historical power consumption of the battery, the state of the battery, and the sensor data.

  • Patent number: 11210198
    Abstract: Computing systems, database systems, and related methods are provided for tracking performance associated with loading or updating a web page in a distributed manner. An exemplary method involves a server providing the web page to a client over a network. The web page includes code executable by the client to provide requests to the server over the network, assign identifiers to the requests, and determine client-side performance metrics associated with the requests. The server provides one or more responses corresponding to the requests to the client over the network, determines server-side performance metrics associated with providing the responses, receives the client-side performance metrics from the client after providing the responses, and maintains the associations between the client-side performance metrics, the server-side performance metrics, and the respective server requests using the identifiers assigned by the client.
