Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for balancing energy usage. A method can include obtaining energy consumption patterns of a plurality of devices that consume energy in an environment from a plurality of data sources. The method can further include analyzing operational patterns of the plurality of devices that are dynamically controllable and associated with the environment to generate device data. The method can further include building and maintaining multiple domain ontologies for sustainability profiles. The method can further include developing a profile for energy consumption for at least one device of the plurality of devices, wherein the profile is based on the energy consumption patterns, the device data, and at least one sustainability profile of the multiple domain ontologies.

Abstract: A multi-phase inductor package that includes at least one set or cluster of inductors between a first plate and a second plate. The inductors in the at least one cluster are positioned in an intra-cluster arrangement such that a mutual magnetic flux density between the inductors in the at least one cluster is substantially equal. This arrangement may be extended to a plurality of clusters of inductors in an arrangement such that a mutual magnetic flux density between adjacent clusters of the plurality of clusters is substantially equal.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a cladding layer and a plurality of waveguides. The cladding layer includes a central axis. The plurality of waveguides are disposed within the cladding layer and receive a light from a light source. The plurality of waveguides have refractive indices that are adjustable to change a mode of the light such that the mode of the light is steered towards the central axis.
