Khalid Abdulla has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11093599
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a locally powered smart device. A non-limiting example of the locally powered smart device includes a sensor, an energy storage communicatively coupled to the sensor, a processor communicatively coupled to the sensor and the energy storage. The processor is configured to control the sensor and the energy storage to perform multiple iterations of a tamper mitigation process, wherein each of the multiple iterations of the tamper mitigation process includes an authentication process that includes the transmission of authentication communications between the sensor and the energy storage. The processor is further configured to initiate an anti-tampering protocol based at least in part on a determination that the authentication process was unsuccessful.

  • Patent number: 10530181
    Abstract: A method comprises generating power at a solar photovoltaic cell; receiving, at a controller, one or more input parameters pertaining to a power output of the solar photovoltaic cell; introducing liquid to the solar photovoltaic cell in response to the power output of the solar photovoltaic cell to increase the efficiency of the solar photovoltaic cell; recovering heat from the liquid introduced to the solar photovoltaic cell; and selecting an appropriate distribution of the power output of the solar photovoltaic cell to one or more power-drawing components in a way that maximizes a chosen objective for the whole of system.
