  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENSURING CONTINUED DEVICE OPERATIONAL RELIABILITY IN CLOUD-DEGRADED MODE
    Publication number: 20240007383
    Abstract: In the presence of a network fault condition preventing communication between a communication device and a network device of a first network, a method includes receiving a heartbeat request from the communication device requesting permission for the communication device to perform a device operation. The method further includes obtaining device state data associated with the communication device and determining whether the communication device is permitted to perform the device operation based on the device state data associated with the communication device. When the communication device is permitted to perform the device operation, the method also includes transmitting a heartbeat confirmation signal to the communication device. The heartbeat confirmation signal permits the communication device to perform the device operation.

  • Method and apparatus for ensuring continued device operational reliability in cloud-degraded mode
    Patent number: 11496383
    Abstract: In the presence of a network fault condition (130) preventing communication between a communication device (106) and a network device (200) of a first network (102), a method (400) includes receiving a heartbeat request (128) from the communication device requesting permission for the communication device to perform a device operation. The method further includes obtaining device state data (110) associated with the communication device and determining whether the communication device is permitted to perform the device operation based on the device state data associated with the communication device. When the communication device is permitted to perform the device operation, the method also includes transmitting a heartbeat confirmation signal (126) to the communication device. The heartbeat confirmation signal permits the communication device to perform the device operation.

  • Three-dimensional, porous anode for use in lithium-ion batteries and method of fabrication thereof
    Patent number: 10128496
    Abstract: A three-dimensional, porous anode material suitable for use in a lithium-ion cell. The three-dimensional, porous anode material includes active anode particles embedded within a carbon matrix. The porous structure of this novel anode material allows for the expansion and contraction of the anode without the anode delaminating or breaking apart, thus improving the life-cycle of the lithium-ion cell. An example of this three-dimensional porous anode material is a porous silicon-carbon composite formed using a bi-continuous micro-emulsion (BME) template.
