  • Publication number: 20240076926
    Abstract: In one aspect, a movable barrier operator system is provided that includes a motor configured to turn a drum to pay out a cable from the drum and permit a door connected to the cable to move from an open position toward a closed position. The system includes a memory configured to store an expected variable of the door, and a sensor configured to detect movement of the door. The system further includes a processor circuit operatively coupled to the motor, the memory, and the sensor. The processor circuit is configured to: use the sensor to estimate an actual variable of the door; determine whether the actual variable is acceptable based at least in part on the expected variable and the processor circuit causing the motor to turn the drum; and change operation of the movable barrier upon the actual variable of the movable barrier being unacceptable.

  • Patent number: 9746898
    Abstract: Systems and methods that may be implemented to decrease power consumption levels of a first processing device (e.g., such as a CPU) based on monitored operating temperature of a second and different processing device (e.g., such as a discrete GPU) in a shared multiple-processor cooling resource environment of an information handling system architecture. The first processing device power consumption levels may be so controlled such that the operating temperature of the second processing device does not reach a temperature at which the second processing device is throttled.
