  • Patent number: 11573841
    Abstract: Systems described herein may allow for the intelligent configuration of containers onto virtualized resources. Different configurations may be generated based on the simulation of alternate placements of containers onto nodes, where the placement of a particular container onto a particular node may serve as a root for several branches which may themselves simulate the placement of additional containers on the node (in addition to the container(s) indicated in the root). Once a set of configurations are generated, a particular configuration may be selected according to determined selection parameters and/or intelligent selection techniques.

  • Patent number: 11558132
    Abstract: An interference detection system in a network identifies a first wireless station that has experienced radio frequency (RF) interference from an unknown source on at least one physical resource block (PRB) and identifies one or more second wireless stations that have experienced similar interference on the at least one PRB. A plurality of estimated interference source locations are determined based at least on geographic locations of the first wireless station and the one or more second wireless stations. The plurality of estimated interference source locations are scored based on a comparison of estimate interference to observed interference at the one or more second wireless stations and a geographical map is generated based on the scored plurality of estimated interference source locations, wherein the geographical map includes indicia indicative of the relative scores of the plurality of estimated interference source locations.

  • Publication number: 20200350778
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide wireless control devices that operate in-field wirelessly without removable batteries, have power self-harvesting components, and can be wirelessly programmed over long ranges without interfering with the normal operation of the control devices. Only control devices that have sufficient power available to perform a reprogram cycle (and can function normally until a next power harvest cycle) are selected. Control devices can be selected for wireless reprogramming based on the upcoming functions to be performed by the control device, the amount of energy stored in the control device, the rate of power generation of a solar panel of the control device, and current and upcoming weather conditions, etc. The wireless programming can include updating a firmware of the control device, a bootloader of the control device, and an application program image.

  • Publication number: 20200344962
    Abstract: Systems and methods facilitate efficient and effective monitoring and control of various activities using a remote self-contained in-field installed device capable of self-harvesting power. A power self harvesting control device comprises: a power sub-system configured to self-harvest energy required of its internal components; a communication sub-system configured to communicate with other external devices; an exterior function interface sub-system configured to generate and receive input/output signals associated with the external component interactions; and a management sub-system configured to manage and coordinate activities of the power control sub-system, the communication sub-system, and external function control sub-system. The management sub-system directs management and coordination of the self-harvested energy supply and consumption. The power sub-subsystem includes a non-removable self contained energy storage component that stores self-harvested energy.
