Publication number: 20190044440Abstract: Techniques are described for implementing automated control systems to control operations of specified physical target systems, such as with one or more batteries used to store and provide electrical power. Characteristics of each battery's state may be used to perform automated control of DC power from the battery, such as in a real-time manner and to optimize long-term operation of the battery. In some situations, multiple batteries are controlled by using multiple control systems each associated with one of the batteries, and with overall control being coordinated in a distributed manner using interactions between the multiple control systems. A system that includes one or more batteries to be controlled may further include additional components in some situations, such as one or more electrical sources and/or one or more electrical loads, with one non-exclusive example of a type of such system being one or more home electrical power systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2018Publication date: February 7, 2019Inventors: Wolf Kohn, Vishnu Vettrivel, Jonathan Cross, Pengbo Zhang, Michael Luis Sandoval, Brian Schaper, Neel Master, Brandon Weiss, David Kettler

Publication number: 20190041817Abstract: Techniques are described for implementing automated control systems that manipulate operations of specified target systems, such as by modifying or otherwise manipulating inputs or other control elements of the target system that affect its operation (e.g., affect output of the target system). An automated control system may in some situations have a distributed architecture with multiple decision modules that each controls a portion of a target system, and may further have one or more components that interacts with one or more users to obtain a description of the target system, including restrictions related to the various elements of the target system, and one or more goals to be achieved during control of the target system. The component(s) then perform various automated actions to generate, test and deploy one or more executable decision modules to use in performing the control of the target system based on the user-specified information.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2018Publication date: February 7, 2019Applicant: Veritone Alpha, Inc.Inventors: Wolf Kohn, Michael Luis Sandoval, Vishnu Vettrivel, Jonathan Cross, Jason Knox, David Talby, Mike Lazarus

Patent number: 10170911Abstract: Techniques are described for reducing or dampening harmonics in a power signal to be supplied to a power system. The techniques may also be used to synchronize the power signal to be supplied to the power system with the power that is currently present on the power system. The techniques operate to step down the signals to be processed, process the signals using low-current op amps, and then step the signals back up to be transmitted on a high current system. The values of the circuit components may be determined by using a solution for an accompanying transfer function.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2017Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: Veritone Alpha, Inc.Inventors: Michael Luis Sandoval, Wolf Kohn, Jonathan Cross

Publication number: 20180356783Abstract: Techniques are described for implementing automated control systems that manipulate operations of specified target systems, such as by modifying or otherwise manipulating inputs or other control elements of the target system that affect its operation (e.g., affect output of the target system). An automated control system may in some situations have a distributed architecture with multiple decision modules that each controls a portion of a target system and operate in a partially decoupled manner with respect to each other, such as by each decision module operating to synchronize its local solutions and proposed control actions with those of one or more other decision modules, in order to determine a consensus with those other decision modules. Such inter-module synchronizations may occur repeatedly to determine one or more control actions for each decision module at a particular time, as well as to be repeated over multiple times for ongoing control.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2018Publication date: December 13, 2018Inventors: Wolf Kohn, Michael Luis Sandoval, Vishnu Vettrivel, Jonathan Cross, Jason Knox, David Talby, Mike Lazarus

Publication number: 20170315523Abstract: Techniques are described for implementing automated control systems to control operations of specified physical target systems. In some situations, the described techniques include forecasting future values of parameters that affect operation of a target system, and using the forecasted future values as part of determining current automated control actions to take for the target system—in this manner, the current automated control actions may be improved relative to other possible actions that do not reflect such forecasted future values. Various automated operations may also be performed to improve the forecasting in at least some situations, such as by combining the use of multiple different types of forecasting models and multiple different groups of past data to use for training the models, and/or by improving the estimated internal non-observable state information reflected in at least some of the models.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2017Publication date: November 2, 2017Inventors: Jonathan Cross, David Kettler, Wolf Kohn, Michael Luis Sandoval

Publication number: 20160004228Abstract: Techniques are described for implementing automated control systems that manipulate operations of specified target systems, such as by modifying or otherwise manipulating inputs or other control elements of the target system that affect its operation (e.g., affect one or more outputs of the target system). An automated control system for such a target system may in some situations have a distributed architecture that provides cooperative distributed control of the target system, such as with multiple decision modules that each control a portion of the target system and operate in a partially decoupled manner with respect to each other, with the various decision modules' operations being at least partially synchronized and each having a consensus with one or more other decision modules, even if a fully synchronized convergence of all decision modules at all times is not guaranteed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2015Publication date: January 7, 2016Inventors: Wolf Kohn, Michael Luis Sandoval, Vishnu Vettrivel, Jonathan Cross, Jason Knox, David Talby, Mike Lazarus

An automated control system may have one or more decision modules that each controls at least some of a target system, with each decision module's control actions being automatically determined to reflect near-optimal solutions with respect to or one more goals and in light of a target system model having multiple inter-related constraints, such as based on a partially optimized solution that is within a threshold amount of a fully optimized solution.
