  • Publication number: 20240105040
    Abstract: Arrangements for providing context aware response functions are provided. In some examples, sensor data may be received from a plurality of sensors in a sensor data farm associated with an enterprise organization. The sensor data may be received from various types of sensors and/or from sensors from various vendors or manufacturers. a machine learning model may be executed to analyze the sensor data. Based on an output of the machine learning model, a determination may be made as to whether one or more enterprise-specific thresholds have been met or exceeded. If not, additional, subsequently received data may be analyzed. If so, one or more notifications or notification actions may be identified. In some examples, the notification or notification actions may be executed and response data may be received. The response data may be used to update and/or validate the machine learning model.

  • Publication number: 20240104473
    Abstract: Arrangements for sensor data normalization and analysis are provided. In some arrangements, first sensor data may be received from a first sensor of a first sensor type. The first sensor may be associated with a first vendor and may output data in a first format unique to the first vendor. Second sensor data may be received from a second sensor. The second sensor may be a second sensor type. The second sensor may be associated with a second vendor and may output data in a second format unique to the second vendor. The first and second sensor data may be normalized from the first format and second format to a uniform format unique to an enterprise organization. The formatted data may be compared to one or more enterprise-specific thresholds. If one or more thresholds have been met or exceeded, a notification may be generated and transmitted to a computing device.

  • Patent number: 7836800
    Abstract: A socket (204, 600) is provided for use with a wrench (202) having a shaft (216) to drive the socket for tightening or loosening a fastener (206) having a gripping notch (218). The socket includes a main body (306, 610) and at least one removable driver (308, 310, 602, 604, 606, 608). The main body has a recess (214, 720) being of such dimensions that at least a portion of the fastener fills the recess when inserted therein. The main body further comprises a guide (402, 804) configured for aligning the socket and the fastener. The removable driver has at least one driving element (342, 344, 760, 762) sized and shaped to fit within the gripping notch of the fastener. The removable driver is removably disposed within the main body in an orientation in which a driving element at least partially protrudes into the recess.

  • Patent number: 6364111
    Abstract: An apparatus for protecting an article. The apparatus is a single sheet of material that is folded to define a saddle portion recessed between two extending portions. The protected article is extendible into the saddle area. The two extending portions of the apparatus are defined by planar portions that form a triangular area when viewed from the side. The saddle area is defined by two triangular elements when viewed from the side, and which are defined by planar portions.

  • Patent number: 6067606
    Abstract: A computer processor includes a dynamic latency module. The dynamic latency module includes a read-only memory ("ROM") in which is stored a plurality of sets of latency values. The dynamic latency module further includes a register coupled to the ROM and adapted to store at least one set of the plurality of sets of latency values. The dynamic latency module dynamically sets a plurality of memory access latency values by determining an operating speed of the processor and implementing one of the plurality of sets of latency values based on the operating speed.

  • Patent number: 6055656
    Abstract: A scheme for accessing a control register bus and control registers of a microprocessor through a test access port which is configured to an established testing standard. A test access port (TAP) of a microprocessor is configured to communicate serially based on a technique specified in the IEEE 1149.1 standard. External serial instructions are converted for parallel transfer to provide control signals for accessing the internal structures. Serial address and data signals are also converted for parallel transfer to access internal structures on a control register bus and parallel outputs are converted to serial format for external output. By permitting external access to low level internal bus architecture, system testing and debug can be performed by utilizing external programming.

  • Patent number: 5750936
    Abstract: A printed wiring board (PWB) is attached to a PWB holder with mounting hardware which includes a washer having a first annular surface with a first external diameter for insertion into a mounting hole in the PWB and a second annular surface with a larger second external diameter. The two external diameters form an annular shoulder on an exterior side of the washer that extends between the first and second external diameters for soldering the washer to the PWB. The washer includes a resilient flange interior to its opening. A screw for mounting the PWB is inserted through the opening and has a screw head larger than a diameter of the opening and a second end with an external diameter smaller than the diameter of the opening, but larger than an internal diameter of the flange, so that the screw is held by the washer when the second end is forcibly inserted through the resiliently flanged opening.

  • Patent number: 4766536
    Abstract: A bus apparatus for interconnecting a plurality of nodes is disclosed. The nodes may comprise processors, input/output subsystems, or the like. Each node maintains a unique priority number; the priority numbers are determined independently by each node. Separate updating of the priority numbers occurs for acknowledgement packets as compared to data transmissions. This provides for quick, efficient acknowledgement of transmissions and does not unfairly penalize a popular receiving node. Two different interface circuits are described, one particularly suitable for use with an input/output subsystem, and the other for a processor.
