Publication number: 20200379548Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for controlling backup power consumption by network devices in a network environment. In some examples, a backup power consumption plan for controlling power consumption by network devices of a network environment from a UPS of the network environment is identified. An interruption of power deliver over a main power delivery channel to the network devices during operation of the network devices can be detected. Subsequently, power consumption by the network devices from the UPS can be selectively controlled on a per-device basis according to the backup power consumption plan. Specifically, power consumption by the network devices from the UPS can be controlled on a per-device basis according to the backup power consumption plan in response to detecting the interruption of power delivery over the main power delivery channel to the network devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2019Publication date: December 3, 2020Inventors: Andrew John Dupree, Nicholas James Kaoru Kawamoto, Dhruv Gaba

Patent number: 10524047Abstract: A satellite microphone assembly formed by a base housing a microphone and a volume control electronics and an outer ring coupled with the base and rotatable about the base. The outer ring includes a center aperture having an actuatable button to toggle mute/unmute of the microphone disposed therein. A rotational sensor is supported by the base and configured to detect a rotation of the outer ring and to output information about a direction and a degree of rotation of the outer ring to the volume control electronics, thereby causing a rotation of the outer ring to affect a volume of a speaker.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2018Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Matthew M. U. Cho, Ian Matthew Snyder, Morgan Davis Teachworth, Nicholas James Kaoru Kawamoto

Patent number: 9513639Abstract: To derive a feasible solution for an operation plan problem for storage tanks for storing liquefied natural gas, which is a complicated mixed-integer non-linear problem, given tank initial state information, reception plan information, and feed plan information, two solving processes are executed alternately two or more times, respectively: a first solving process that replaces a mixed-integer non-linear programming problem with a mixed-integer linear programming problem by linear approximation of a non-linear expression in non-linear constraints containing the non-linear expression, and solves the problem to derive provisional solutions or final solutions for a reception pattern that prescribes a storage tank that is to receive liquefied natural gas, and a discharge pattern that prescribes a storage tank that is to discharge liquefied natural gas, and a second solving process that replaces a mixed-integer non-linear programming problem with a continuous non-linear programming problem by provisionally fixingType: GrantFiled: October 19, 2012Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: OSAKA GAS CO., LTD.Inventors: Kenji Tsuzaki, Kaoru Kawamoto, Tomohito Okamura, Hiromasa Tani, Tomokazu Ueda, Nobuaki Hashimoto, Keisuke Kawata, Takahito Tanabe, Kouhei Harada, Atsushi Nitanda, Toshihiro Nitta

Patent number: 6263698Abstract: A liquid outlet pipe extended from a lower end of a liquid storage reservoir 420 is communicated with a section in the proximity of a lower portion of a refrigerant liquid dispersing pipe 421. A plurality of liquid outlet holes 426 are provided on an upper surface of the refrigerant liquid dispersing pipe 421. Diameters of the liquid outlet holes 426 are differently determined depending on a distance between a communicated section of the liquid dispersing pipe 421 and the liquid storage reservoir 420, in order to equalize an amount of refrigerant liquid flowing from the outlet holes 126. When the liquid storage reservoir 420 is filled with the refrigerant liquid, the refrigerant liquid flows upward within the liquid dispersing pipe 421 so as to inject the refrigerant liquid in accordance with a liquid head pressure.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 1999Date of Patent: July 24, 2001Assignees: Rinnai Kabushiki Kaisha, Osaka Gas Co., Ltd., NHK Spring Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tsutomu Marubashi, Kaoru Kawamoto, Kaoru Watanabe
